The invention provides CCD type solid-state imaging apparatus comprises: photoelectric conversion elements; a plurality of first transfer paths extending in a first direction; and second transfer paths extending in a first direction; the first transfer paths and the second transfer paths respectively including a plurality of discretely formed first layer transfer electrode films and second layer transfer electrode films formed between the first layer transfer electrode films and whose ends are laminated on the ends of the adjacent first layer transfer electrode films via insulating films. The thickness of the insulating film between the first layer transfer electrode film and the second layer transfer electrode film constituting the second transfer path shown is smaller than the thickness of the insulating film between the first layer transfer electrode film and the second layer transfer electrode film constituting the first transfer path shown.
