Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device comprising:a light-receiving portion for receiving light; a microlens formed on said light-receiving portion and having a predetermined first refractive index, the microlens having a central portion; a thin-film lens formed of an inorganic material on the microlens; and a resin portion formed on the thin-film lens and having a predetermined second refractive index, a refractive index of the thin-film lens being smaller than the first and second refractive indexes, wherein light incident on the thin-film lens from the resin portion is refracted to outside the microlens central portion due to the difference in refractive index between the resin portion and the thin-film lens, and the light refracted to outside the microlens central portion is made to condense on the light-receiving portion due to the difference in refractive index between the thin-film lens and the microlens.
