Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging device that can be made smaller in size, a method of manufacturing the solid-state imaging device, and an electronic apparatus.The solid-state imaging device includes a photoelectric conversion film that performs photoelectric conversion of light emitted from the back surface side of the semiconductor substrate. Also, in each pixel, a charge accumulation layer is formed to be in contact with the photoelectric conversion film on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, a transfer path unit is formed to extend from the charge accumulation layer to a point near the front surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a memory unit is disposed near the back surface side of the semiconductor substrate, with a charge transfer gate being interposed between the memory unit and the transfer path unit. Then, the photoelectric conversion film is formed by stacking a layer formed with a material having a great light blocking effect on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate. The present technology can be applied to back-illuminated CMOS image sensors in global shutter mode.
