Abstract
A solid-state image sensing device has a pixel that includes a photodiode that generates an electrical charge according to an amount of incoming light, a floating diffusion portion, a charge transfer transistor that transfers the electrical charge to the floating diffusion portion from the photoelectric conversion portion, a reading circuit that outputs an signal on the basis of said electrical charge held in said floating diffusion portion, and a light-shielding member disposed so as to cover a side wall of a gate electrode of the charge transfer transistor on the photoelectric conversion portion side.
