Abstract:
A solid-state imaging sensor comprised of a line-shaped transfer electrodes arrayed at spaced intervals on a substrate, discrete sensors formed between the lines of said transfer electrodes on said substrate for performing photoelectric conversion, a light-impervious film formed with an aperture directly above each of said sensors on said substrate and also formed to cover said transfer electrodes and block the input of light into other than said sensors, and lenses formed above said light-impervious film to converge the input light onto said sensors wherein,said light-impervious film has overhangs facing towards the approximate center of said sensor from a side surface position, at respectively the top and bottom edges of said side surface position, with an aperture directly above said sensor, andsaid lens has a focus point at a position matching the aperture of said light-impervious film directly above said sensor and at a position with a height equivalent to the tip of said overhang installed at said top edge.
