    Abstract: Solid-state imaging devices, methods of producing a solid-state imaging device, and electronic apparatuses are provided. More particularly, a solid-state image device includes a silicon substrate, and at least a first photodiode formed in the silicon substrate. The device also includes an epitaxial layer with a first surface adjacent a surface of the silicon substrate, and a transfer transistor with a gate electrode that extends from the at least a first photodiode to a second surface of the epitaxial layer opposite the first surface. In further embodiments, a solid-state imaging device with a plurality of pixels formed in a second semiconductor substrate wherein the pixels are symmetrical with respect to a center point is provided. A floating diffusion is formed in an epitaxial layer, and a plurality of transfer gate electrodes that are each electrically connected to the floating diffusion by one of the transfer gate electrodes is provided.
