Patent ID: 7906827

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device including an imaging area formed by a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix pattern on a semiconductor substrate, each pixel including a light-receiving section for photoelectrically converting incident light, the solid-state imaging device comprising: a first wiring layer formed on the semiconductor substrate with a first interlayer insulating layer being interposed therebetween, the first wiring layer including a plurality of elements each having a first opening above a corresponding one of the light-receiving sections; a second wiring layer formed on the first wiring layer with a second interlayer insulating layer being interposed therebetween, the second wiring layer including a plurality of elements each having a second opening above a corresponding one of the light-receiving sections; a substrate contact running through the first interlayer insulating layer so as to electrically connect an active region of the semiconductor substrate with the first wiring layer; and a first contact running through the second interlayer insulating layer so as to electrically connect the first wiring layer with the second wiring layer, wherein: an arrangement of the first contact with respect to the light-receiving section of the pixel located in the peripheral portion of the imaging area is shifted from an arrangement of the first contact with respect to the light-receiving section of the pixel located in the central portion of the imaging area, by a shift amount s 1 (where 0<s 1 ) from the peripheral portion toward the central portion, an arrangement of the substrate contact with respect to the light-receiving section of the pixel located in a peripheral portion of the imaging area is shifted from an arrangement of the substrate contact with respect to the light-receiving section of the pixel located in a central portion of the imaging area, by a shift amount r (where 0<r) from the peripheral portion toward the central portion; and an arrangement of the first wiring layer with respect to the light-receiving section of the pixel located in the peripheral portion of the imaging area is shifted from an arrangement of the first wiring layer with respect to the light-receiving section of the pixel located in the central portion of the imaging area, by a shift amount s 2 (where 0<s 2 ) from the peripheral portion toward the central portion.
