Patent ID: 8368784

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a light incident side; a circuit formation surface being opposite to the light incident side; and an inorganic photoelectric conversion unit having a pn junction and an organic photoelectric conversion unit including an organic photoelectric conversion layer, which are laminated in the same pixel in a depth direction from the light incident side and on which light is incident without passing through a color filter, wherein, signals of the inorganic photoelectric conversion unit and the organic photoelectric conversion unit are read on the circuit formation surface, the inorganic photoelectric conversion unit is formed on a semiconductor substrate, the organic photoelectric conversion unit is formed by an organic layer interposed by electrodes formed in an upper layer of a rear surface of the semiconductor substrate close to the light incident side, and of the electrodes interposing the organic layer, the electrode close to the semiconductor substrate has a potential lower than that of the electrode distant from the semiconductor substrate.
