Patent ID: 8350349

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a first photoelectric conversion portion which selectively receives incident light of a first wavelength range and performs photoelectric conversion thereof; and a second photoelectric conversion portion which selectively receives incident light of a second wavelength range which is shorter than the first wavelength range and performs photoelectric conversion thereof, wherein, the first photoelectric conversion portion is stacked above the second photoelectric conversion portion in an imaging area of a substrate so that the second photoelectric conversion portion receives the incident light of the second wavelength range as light transmitted via the first photoelectric conversion portion, the first photoelectric conversion portion includes a transmitting portion so that the light of the second wavelength range is transmitted to the second photoelectric conversion portion more than other portions, the transmitting portion includes a portion satisfying an Equation (1) within a width D which is defined in a direction of the imaging area of the substrate, a refraction index n of a peripheral portion of the transmitting portion, and a longest wavelength λc of the second wavelength range which is selectively photoelectrically converted in the second photoelectric conversion portion; and Equation (1) is the relationship λ c/n≦ 2 D.
