Claim Text:
1. A manufacturing method of a solid-state imaging device comprising: a thermal oxide film forming step for forming a thermal oxide film on a silicon substrate; a silicon layer forming step for forming a silicon layer on said thermal oxide film; a light receiving layer forming step for forming in an exposed surface of said silicon layer a light receiving layer having an arrangement of a plurality of light receiving portions for accumulating signal charge produced by photoelectric conversion of incident light; a wiring layer forming step for forming on said silicon layer a wiring layer having an electrode and wiring for controlling said light receiving portions; a support substrate adhering step for adhering a support substrate on said wiring layer; a thermal oxide film patterning step for removing said silicon substrate to expose said thermal oxide film and patterning said thermal oxide film in a predetermined pattern; an etching step for etching said silicon layer by using said patterned thermal oxide film as a mask so as to form in said silicon layer a projection and depression structure that has alternately disposed two types of inclined surfaces having symmetric inclination directions, and is provided in said light receiving layer such that each of said inclined surfaces corresponds to each of said light receiving portions, and makes said incident light enter said light receiving portion by a light amount corresponding to an incident angle; and a planarizing layer forming step for forming on said projection and depression structure a planarizing layer for planarizing said projection and depression structure.
