Abstract
Provided is a solid-state imaging device capable of obtaining an image with a higher image quality. The solid-state imaging device includes a substrate, a pixel region formed on the substrate and configured such that a plurality of pixels is arrayed therein, a dug structure formed in the pixel region, and a p-type semiconductor region formed in a region adjacent to the dug structure in the substrate. Further, the pixel region is divided into an effective pixel region where effective pixels including photoelectric conversion units not shielded from light are arrayed and an OPB pixel region formed adjacent to the effective pixel region and configured such that light shielding pixels including photoelectric conversion units shielded from light are arrayed therein. In addition, in plan view, the percentage of an area occupied by the dug structure in the OPB pixel region is smaller than the percentage of an area occupied by the dug structure in the effective pixel region.
