In an imaging apparatus provided with a substrate having transparency, warping of the substrate is prevented while stray light is shielded. The imaging apparatus includes a sensor chip, a transparent substrate, a light shielding wall, and an optical filter. In this imaging apparatus, a solid-state imaging element is provided in a light receiving region of the sensor chip. Furthermore, in the imaging apparatus, the transparent substrate is equipped on an outer edge portion of the sensor chip. In addition, in the imaging apparatus, the light shielding wall shields light that passes through the transparent substrate and enters the front light receiving region. The light shielding wall is formed on the optical filter.
