Abstract
The present technology relates to an imaging element and an electronic apparatus capable of expanding a saturation signal electric charge amount. A first P-type impurity region, a capacitance expanding portion that forms a PN junction surface with a second P-type impurity region and a first N-type impurity region, and the first N-type impurity region are sequentially provided in a depth direction from a surface side where a wiring layer of a semiconductor substrate is laminated. The second P-type impurity region is formed in a stripe on a plane of the capacitance expanding portion that perpendicularly intersects with the depth direction. The stripe is formed, on the plane of the capacitance expanding portion that perpendicularly intersects with the depth direction, in a direction perpendicular to a side where an electrode that reads accumulated electric charge is formed. The present technology can be applied to an imaging element.
