Abstract:
1. A solid-state imaging device in which pixels are arranged in a matrix shape above a semiconductor substrate, each of the pixels having a photoelectric conversion element and a color filter layer which is formed above the photoelectric conversion element, and said device comprising resin parts formed above boundary parts between photoelectric conversion elements which are adjacent to each other so that each of the resin parts constitutes an upward convex part, wherein each of the color filter layers is formed so as to cover an area ranging from a summit of a respective one of the resin parts to a summit of an adjacent one of the resin parts, each of the color filter layers is formed so as to be thinner in a peripheral part than in a center part, and each of the resin parts is formed to have a width smaller than a width of a corresponding one of the boundary parts.
