Abstract

An imaging device is provided, the imaging device including: a first-conductivity-type substrate; a first-conductivity-type element forming portion provided on the substrate, and having a concentration lower than the substrate; and a plurality of pixel portions provided in the element forming portion, and arrayed two-dimensionally, each pixel portion having a light receiving element, and a second-conductivity-type carrier absorbing portion provided in an area different from an area where the light receiving element is provided. At least one pixel portion of the pixel portions has: a first-conductivity-type first wall portion provided on a substrate side relative to the light receiving element, the first wall portion overlapping at least part of the light receiving element in an array direction of the pixel portions, and having a concentration higher than the substrate, and a carrier passage area not provided with the first wall portion in the array direction of the pixel portions.
