Abstract

The invention relates to a solid-state imaging device and an electronic apparatus capable of improve saturation characteristics. A photodiode is formed on a substrate, and a floating diffusion accumulates a signal charge read from the photodiode. A plurality of vertical gate electrodes are formed in a depth direction from a surface of the substrate in a region between the photodiode and the floating diffusion, and an overflow path is formed in a region sandwiched between the plurality of vertical gate electrodes. This technology is applicable to a CMOS image sensor.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application No. 201680004605.5 with the filing date of January 22, 2016 and the title of the invention being "solid-state imaging device and electronic equipment". technical field [0002] The present technology relates to solid-state imaging devices and electronic equipment, and more particularly, to solid-state imaging devices and electronic equipment capable of improving saturation characteristics. Background technique [0003] Generally, there is known a solid-state image sensor provided with a transfer gate electrode obtained by integrally forming a planar gate electrode and a vertical gate electrode. [0004] As one of such solid-state image sensors, there has been proposed a solid-state image sensor in which vertical gate electrodes are unevenly arranged in the gate width direction (for example, see Patent Document 1). According to this configuration, the potential of the overflow path can be controlled...
