    摘要: A solid-state imaging device includes an imaging element, an external terminal, an insulating film, a through-electrode and a first electrode. The imaging element is formed on a first major surface of a semiconductor substrate. The external terminal is formed on a second major surface opposing the first major surface of the semiconductor substrate. The insulating film is formed in a through-hole formed in the semiconductor substrate. The through-electrode is formed on the insulating film in the through-hole and electrically connected to the external terminal. The first electrode is formed on the through-electrode on the first major surface of the semiconductor substrate. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first major surface of the semiconductor substrate, an outer shape with which the insulating film and the semiconductor substrate are in contact is larger than an outer shape of the first electrode.
