The invention relates to a
solid state image
pickup device, a method of manufacturing the same, an image
pickup device, and an electronic device. The
solid state image
pickup device includes a pixel section defined by unit pixels arrayed in line and row directions of a
semiconductor substrate. Each of the unit pixels includes a photoelectric
transducer that is formed on the
semiconductor substrate and converts incident light into a
signal charge, a
waveguide that is formed above the photoelectric
transducer and guides the incident light to the photoelectric
transducer, and a
microlens that is formed above the
waveguide and guides the incident light to an end of light incident side of the
waveguide. The waveguide has a columnar body with a constant cross section from the end of light incident side to an end of light
exit side, and is arranged such that a center of rays of the incident light incident from the
microlens on the end of light incident side of the waveguide is aligned with a central axis of the waveguide.
