Abstract
An imaging element according to the present disclosure includes a pixel, an overflow path, a pixel isolation unit, a pixel isolation electrode, an in-pixel isolation unit, and an in-pixel isolation electrode. The pixel includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion units formed in a semiconductor substrate having an interconnect region arranged on a front surface side and performs photoelectric conversion of incident light. The overflow path mutually transfers charges between the plurality of photoelectric conversion units. The pixel isolation unit is at a boundary of the pixel. The pixel isolation electrode is in the pixel isolation unit, and a first bias voltage is applied to the pixel isolation electrode. The in-pixel isolation unit isolates the plurality of photoelectric conversion units from each other. The in-pixel isolation electrode is arranged in the in-pixel isolation unit, and a second bias voltage is applied to the in-pixel isolation electrode.
