Abstract:
A solid imaging device comprising:a photoelectric conversion region within a separating film on a substrate and having a cross-section width;a light shielding film having an aperture above said photoelectric conversion region;a plurality of wiring layers disposed in an interlayer insulation film at intermediate positions between said light shielding layer and said photoelectric conversion region;wherein, a portion of said wiring layer is disposed protruding inside of said light shielding layer when viewed from the top of the aperture so as to form a shield aperture shielding the incident light for defining the light admitting region by shielding the incident light admitted to the peripheral area of the photoelectric conversion region, the cross-section width of the shield aperture being less than the cross-section width of the photoelectric conversion region.
