Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes: a plurality of laminated photoelectric conversion sections; a reading section configured of a semiconductor region formed inside a semiconductor substrate and reading electric charge that has been subjected to photoelectric conversion in the photoelectric conversion sections; a charge accumulation section accumulating the electric charge read by the reading section; and a light shielding structure shielding, from light, a portion other than the reading section and the photoelectric conversion sections.
