PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERTING ELEMENT AND SOLID-STATE IMAGE PICKUP ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoelectric converting element realizing sufficient dark current suppression effect and high photoelectric conversion efficiency and to provide a solid-state image pickup element.

SOLUTION: The photoelectric converting element is provided with a pair of electrodes, a photoelectric converting layer arranged between a pair of the electrodes and a charge blocking layer which is formed between one electrode and the photoelectric converting layer and suppresses that a charge is injected in the photoelectric converting layer from one of a pair of the electrodes when voltage is applied to a pair of the electrodes. The charge blocking layer comprises an insulating material and a conductive material.
