technical field [0001] The technology (present technology) according to the present disclosure relates to, for example, a back-illuminated solid-state imaging element and a manufacturing method of the solid-state imaging element. Background technique [0002] In the case of employing a configuration in which a capacitor is provided on a back-illuminated solid-state imaging element, for example, a capacitor having a MIS (Metal Insulator Silicon) structure is formed below a photodiode with respect to incident light. However, according to the configuration including the capacitor having the MIS structure, when the area of ​​the photodiode is reduced due to miniaturization of the solid-state imaging element, the area for arranging the capacitor is reduced. In this case, it is difficult to secure the footprint required to obtain the capacity required for the capacitor. [0003] Under these circumstances, for example, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been develop...
