Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging device comprising: a light-receiving sensor section provided on a surface portion of a substrate for performing a photoelectric conversion; a charge transfer section for transferring a signal charge read out from said light-receiving sensor section; and a polysilicon transfer electrode formed on said substrate at a position approximately above said charge transfer section through an insulating film, wherein said polysilicon transfer electrode has thereon a shunt interconnection connecting a plurality of said polysilicon transfer electrodes and disposed in parallel to said charge transfer section without a buffer layer between said shunt interconnection and said transfer electrode, and said shunt interconnection is interconnected to said transfer electrode with a high-melting point metal silicide through a contact-hole bored through an insulating film formed on said transfer electrode.
