A solid-state imaging device of one embodiment includes a light receiving section including of a plurality of pixels 11 having respective photodiodes, the pixels being two-dimensionally arrayed in M rows and N columns N readout lines disposed for the respective columns and connected with the photodiodes PD included in the pixels of a respective columns via readout switches a signal output section for outputting a voltage value according to an amount of charge input through each of the readout lines and a vertical shift register for controlling an opening and closing operation of the readout switch for each of the rows. A contour between one side along a row direction of the light receiving section and a pair of sides along a column direction has a stepped shape. A dummy photodiode region is formed along the stepped contour of the light receiving section.
