Abstract
Disclosed is a solid-state imaging device which includes an imaging region including pixels arranged two-dimensionally, each of the pixels including a photoelectric conversion element and a plurality of pixel transistors for reading out signals outputted from the photoelectric conversion element, and wirings formed on stacked layers for driving each of the pixels. A shading part between the pixels is formed by combining first and second wirings selected from the wirings.
