Patent ID: 8604581

Claim:
A solid-state image pickup device, comprising: a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and including: a photoelectric conversion element that is formed in a first surface side of the substrate and converts light incident from the first surface of the substrate into a signal charge; a transistor that is formed on a second surface side of the substrate and reads out the signal charge from the photoelectric conversion element; a supporting substrate attached to the second surface of the substrate; and an antireflection coating formed on the first surface of the substrate, wherein a surface of the photoelectric conversion element includes an inclined surface portion forming a prescribed angle to the second surface of the substrate, and the first surface of the substrate includes a flat surface parallel to the second surface on a center side of a pixel region where the photoelectric conversion element is arranged in a matrix manner and includes the inclined surface on a peripheral side opposite to the center side.
