Patent ID: 8552516

Claim:
A solid state image capture device, comprising: a multilayered interconnect layer including an interconnect; a semiconductor substrate on the multilayered interconnect layer, the semiconductor substrate being formed of monocrystalline silicon and having a first conductivity layer, a first through-trench, a second through-trench and a third through-trench adjacent to the first through-trench; a first pillar diffusion layer in the semiconductor substrate around the first through-trench, the first pillar diffusion layer being connected to the interconnect; a second pillar diffusion layer in the semiconductor substrate around the second through-trench; a third pillar diffusion layer in the semiconductor substrate around the third through-trench; an insulating member in each of the first and second through-trenches, the insulating member being formed of silicon oxide; a first impurity diffusion region of a second conductivity type partitioning the first conductivity layer into a plurality of regions; a second impurity diffusion region of the second conductivity type provided between the first and third pillar diffusion layers; an electrode pad on the semiconductor substrate and connected to the first pillar diffusion layer, the electrode pad being connected to the interconnect through the third pillar diffusion layer and the second impurity diffusion region; and a color filter on the semiconductor substrate for each of the partitioned regions, the electrode pad and the color filter being provided on a side on which light is incident, and the multilayered interconnect layer being provided on a side opposite to the side on which light is incident.
