Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a solid-state imaging element, the method comprising: forming first lenses that are each provided corresponding to a light receiving part of a respective one of a plurality of pixels arranged in an imaging area over a semiconductor substrate and collect light onto the light receiving parts; forming a light blocking layer by performing film deposition on the first lenses by using a material having light blocking capability; forming a first light blocker composed of the material having light blocking capability at a boundary part between the first lenses adjacent to each other by etching the light blocking layer in such a manner that the material having light blocking capability is left at the boundary part between the first lenses; forming second lenses that are provided over each first lens and that are convex, the second lenses being adjacent to each other with no gap therebetween; and forming a second light blocker formed on a concave boundary between each of the second lenses.
