Patent ID: 8717468

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device having: a substrate layer; a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions in the substrate layer configured to convert light within a given wavelength ranges into electric charges; an isolation region between each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions; an absorption film extending over (i) an entirety of at least one of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions and (ii) at least some portions of the isolation region, wherein the absorption film does not extend over at least a portion of the isolation region, the absorption film operable to absorb short wavelength-side light that would otherwise enter the at least one of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions, the short wavelength-side light being light having a wavelength shorter than at least one of the given wavelength ranges; and an insulation film spacing the at least one of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions and the absorption film, the insulation film in contact with the substrate layer, the photoelectric conversion portions, and the absorption film, wherein light falls on the absorption film.
