Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a solid-state imaging device that enables miniaturization of camera while maintaining the level of electrostatic damage resistance in the solid-state imaging device, and includes: an imaging unitthat transfers signal charge generated by performing photoelectric conversion on incident light, converts the signal charge into an electric signal, and outputs the electric signal as an image signal; and a peripheral circuit portionwhich includes: a signal electrode pad; a power supply electrode pad; and a protection circuitthat has diodesandplaced in opposition, and that discharges static electricity entering from the exterior, to the power supply electrode pad
