Solid-state imaging element and imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of pixels including a color filter for transmitting a light having a predetermined wavelength among incident lights, a photoelectric conversion portion formed on a semiconductor substrate and for performing photoelectric conversion in accordance with a light transmitted through the color filter, and an insulating layer placed between the color filter and the semiconductor substrate;
• light-shielding pixels among the plurality of pixels, further including a first light-shielding portion disposed in a vicinity of the color filter on the insulating layer and for shielding the light transmitted through the color filter in its own pixel;
• a second light-shielding portion disposed on the insulating layer between the plurality of pixels and the light-shielding pixels, and for shielding a light transmitted through the color filter of the adjacent pixel;
• and
• a processing circuit for processing image signals based on electric charges generated by photoelectric conversion in each photoelectric conversion portion in the plurality of pixels and the light-shielding pixels.
