Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a solid-state imaging device that outputs a pixel signal based on entering light; and
a signal processing circuit that processes the pixel signal, wherein
the solid-state imaging device includes
a light receiving surface, and
two or more pixels that oppose the light receiving surface, and

the pixels each include
a photoelectric converter that performs photoelectric conversion on light entering via the light receiving surface,
a charge holding section that holds electric charge transferred from the photoelectric converter,
a transfer transistor that includes a vertical gate electrode reaching the photoelectric converter, and transfers electric charge from the photoelectric converter to the charge holding section,
a light blocking section that is disposed in a layer between the photoelectric converter and the charge holding section and has an opening which the vertical gate runs through, the light blocking section blocking entry, into the charge holding section, of light entering via the light receiving surface at a part other than the opening, and
a charge blocking section that blocks transfer of electric charge to the transfer transistor via a region between an edge, of the opening, closer to the charge holding section and the vertical gate.
