Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging device comprising: a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, each pixel of the plurality of pixels including a light receiving unit to perform photoelectric conversion, an optical waveguide buried in an insulating layer located above said light receiving unit, and an on-chip lens located above said optical waveguide; a basic cell having two or more of said pixels that share a floating diffusion; and a transistor shared by said two or more pixels in said basic cell, wherein, said light receiving unit is connected to said floating diffusion shared by said two or more pixels in said basic cell through a transfer gate, and an optical waveguide of a first pixel of the basic cell is formed such that a distance from a center of the matrix of the imaging device to a center of the optical waveguide of the first pixel of the basic cell is longer than a distance from the center of the matrix of the imaging device to a center of the light receiving unit of the first pixel of the basic cell.
