Abstract
According to one embodiment, a solid-state imaging device is provided which comprises a floating diffusion, a transfer gate, and a photoelectric conversion element. The floating diffusion is provided in a surface of a semiconductor layer. The transfer gate extends inward from the surface of the semiconductor layer and bends in the semiconductor layer toward the floating diffusion side. The photoelectric conversion element is provided in part of the semiconductor layer on the opposite side of the transfer gate from the floating diffusion and stretches from the side-surface side of the transfer gate to a position under the bottom thereof.
