Abstract
A solid-state imaging element includes a semiconductor substrate where a plurality of photodiodes are arranged in a plane, and a separation section which separates the photodiodes, in which the separation section has a photoelectric conversion section formed by filling a material which has a high light absorption coefficient and a high quantum efficiency in trenches which are formed in the semiconductor substrate.
