Abstract
According to one embodiment, a solid-state imaging device includes a photoelectric conversion element, a light blocking section, and a protective layer. The protective layer protects the photoelectric conversion element and the light blocking section. A step section is formed on a surface of the protective layer. The step section is formed having a difference in height in a direction perpendicular to an irradiation surface of the photoelectric conversion element. The step section is provided in the light receiving area.
