Patent ID: 8211733

Claim:
A method of producing a solid-state imaging device, comprising the steps of: forming in a cell region in which a unit pixel cell or pixel-sharing cell of a first-conductivity-type semiconductor substrate is to be formed, a first second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region of a photoelectric conversion portion formation region, a second second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region of a floating diffusion portion formation region, and a third second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region of a pixel transistor portion formation region, wherein an impurity concentration of the second second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region is made lower than an impurity concentration of the third second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region; forming a photoelectric conversion portion in the first second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region; forming a floating diffusion portion in the second second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region, and a first-conductivity-type diffusion region of a pixel transistor portion at the subsequent stage of the floating diffusion portion in the third second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region; ion implanting a first second-conductivity-type impurity having a concentration peak in a deep part to a whole surface of the cell region; ion implanting a second second-conductivity-type impurity having a concentration peak in an intermediate part between the deep part and the surface side to a floating diffusion portion formation region and a pixel transistor formation region at the subsequent stage of the floating diffusion portion except the photoelectric conversion portion formation region of the cell region; and ion implanting a third second-conductivity-type impurity having a concentration peak at the surface side only to the pixel transistor portion formation region of the cell region, wherein the first second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region is formed in the photoelectric conversion portion formation region, the third second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region is formed in the pixel transistor portion formation region, and the second second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region in the impurity concentration lower than the impurity concentration of the third second-conductivity-type semiconductor well region is formed in the floating diffusion portion formation region.
