Abstract: A solid-state imaging element of a pixel sharing type with improved driving of transistors is disclosed. A first electric charge accumulating section and a second electric charge accumulating section are arranged in a predetermined direction. A first transfer section transfers electric charge from first photoelectric conversion elements to the first electric charge accumulating section, causing it to accumulate the electric charge. A second transfer section transfers electric charge from second photoelectric conversion elements to the second electric charge accumulating section, causing it to accumulate the electric charge. A first transistor is configured to output a signal corresponding to an amount of the electric charge accumulated in each of the first electric charge accumulating section and the second electric charge accumulating section. A second transistor is arranged with the first transistor in the predetermined direction and connected in parallel to the first transistor.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a manufacturing method of a semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having first and second main surfaces, and a through hole passing through between the first and second main surfaces, a pad on the first main surface, a through electrode in the through hole, and a connection structure including a connection portion to directly connect the pad and the through electrode, and another connection portion to indirectly connect the pad and the through electrode. The method includes forming an isolation region in the first main surface, the isolation region being in a region where the through electrode is to be formed and being in a region other than the region where the through hole is to be formed, forming the pad, and forming the through hole by processing the substrate to expose a part of the pad.
