Abstract

The present technology relates to a solid-state imaging device capable of preventing defects in the appearance thereof, a camera module, and an electronic apparatus. The solid-state imaging device to be provided includes: a semiconductor substrate having pixels formed therein, the pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element; and on-chip lenses formed above the semiconductor substrate, the on-chip lenses corresponding to the pixels. The area in which the on-chip lenses are formed is extended to a peripheral area outside an imaging area formed with the pixels. The present technology can be applied to solid-state imaging devices, such as CMOS image sensors.
