Abstract
The present technology relates to a light receiving element, a distance measurement module, and electronic equipment which are capable of reducing leakage of incident light to adjacent pixels. The light receiving element includes an on-chip lens, a wiring layer, and a semiconductor layer which is disposed between the on-chip lens and the wiring layer and includes a photodiode. The wiring layer includes a reflection film which is disposed such that at least a portion thereof overlaps the photodiode when seen in a plan view, and a transfer transistor which reads charge generated by the photodiode, and the reflection film is formed of a material different from that of a metal wiring electrically connected to a gate of the transfer transistor. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a distance measurement module that measures a distance to a subject, and the like.
