Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging apparatus and an electronic device capable of reducing a product yield and reliability risk. By forming a contact by forming an opening in an insulating film on a back surface of a peripheral circuit region without connecting a light-shielding metal on the peripheral circuit region to the ground (GND), the light-shielding metal is connected to a Si substrate. Furthermore, a light-shielding metal on a pixel region is connected to the ground (GND). Therefore, by disposing an isolated region (insulating region) where no metal is formed between the light-shielding metal on the pixel region and the light-shielding metal on the peripheral circuit region, the light-shielding metal on the pixel region does not cause a short circuit with the light-shielding metal on the peripheral circuit region. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a CMOS solid-state imaging apparatus used for an imaging apparatus such as a camera.

Claim (Index 12):
An electronic device comprising:\n a solid-state imaging apparatus including: a pixel region in which pixels are regularly arranged two-dimensionally; a peripheral circuit region in which a circuit for performing signal processing on an image signal from the pixels is disposed outside the pixel region; a pixel peripheral region disposed between the pixel region and the peripheral circuit region; a first light-shielding material covering the pixel region and connected to a first potential; and a second light-shielding material covering the peripheral circuit region and connected to a second potential which is a potential different from the first potential; a signal processing circuit for processing an output signal output from the solid-state imaging apparatus; and an optical system for making incident light incident on the solid-state imaging apparatus.
