Patent ID: 7880252

Claim:
A solid-state image capturing device in which at least any of openings of electrode wiring layers, color filters and microlenses provided on a light incident side above light receiving elements as a light receiving region in which the plurality of light receiving elements are disposed on a semiconductor substrate or a semiconductor region provided on a substrate, wherein a first shift amount is calculated by Snell's law based on an incident angle θ 0 of a light flux entering the light receiving region to a surface of the solid-state image capturing device, a refractive index n k and a film thickness t k of each layer above the light receiving elements that configures the light receiving region, so that either one or two of the openings of the electrode wiring layers, the color filters, and the microlenses are shifted by a first shift amount in relation to the plurality of light receiving elements or in relation to a predetermined position where the light flux is desired to pass through so as to be arranged in the light receiving region, and wherein the remaining either one or two of the openings of the electrode wiring layers, the color filters, and the microlenses, not shifted by the first shift amount, are shifted by a second shift amount which is different from the first shift amount.
