Disclosed is an imaging device including a photodiode and floating
diffusion region formed to be spaced from each other on a surface layer
of a pixel region of a silicon (semiconductor) substrate, and a transfer
gate having one of a concave and convex portions toward the floating
diffusion region, the transfer gate being formed above the silicon
substrate between the photodiode and the floating diffusion region by
interposing a gate insulating film therebetween.
