<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more accurately detect a black level reference value. <P>SOLUTION: The imaging element includes a transmission channel region which is a region for detecting a black level reference value for a pixel value in an effective pixel region, and which is provided in an optical black pixel region shielded from light from an outside of a semiconductor substrate by a light shielding film, for transmitting a charge existing inside the semiconductor substrate of the optical black pixel region to an outside of the optical black pixel region. This disclosure is applicable to an imaging element, an image pickup apparatus, a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
