Solid-state imaging device and imaging apparatus

A solid-state imaging device comprising a substrate and a plurality of pixel portions arranged over the substrate, wherein:

• each of the pixel portions comprises a photoelectric conversion portion provided over the substrate and a color filter provided over the photoelectric conversion portion;
• the solid-state imaging device comprises partitions for preventing light that is incident on the color filter of each pixel portion from entering adjacent pixel portions;
• the partitions are provided between the color filters of the adjoining pixel portions so as to cover side surfaces of the color filters;
• each of the photoelectric conversion portions comprises a lower electrode provided over the substrate, an upper electrode provided over the lower electrode, and a photoelectric conversion layer provided between the lower electrode and the upper electrode;
• each of the pixel portions further comprises a protective layer provided between the color filter and the upper electrode, for protecting the photoelectric conversion portion;
• and
• the protective layer has a thickness of greater than 0 μm and smaller than or equal to 1.0 μm.
