Patent ID: 7602434

Claim:
A MOS-type solid-state imaging device comprising: a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements two dimensionally arrayed in an imaging area; a light shielding film that is a single film and regulates an amount of external light incident on the photoelectric conversion elements by a wiring pattern; a wiring layer placed between the light shielding film and the photoelectric conversion elements in a lamination direction; and a plurality of contacts electrically connecting the light shielding film with the wiring layer, wherein a shape of the light shielding film is defined by a plurality of first figures combined with a second figure, each first figure being placed over a different contact in plan view, and the second figure having a plurality of apertures each corresponding to a different photoelectric conversion element, a center of each aperture in the second figure is displaced further from a center of a corresponding photoelectric conversion element toward a middle of the imaging area in plan view, as distance from the middle of the imaging area increases, a positional relation of the first figures with the second figure differs depending on location in the imaging area, and the first figures are positioned within the apertures in the second figure on a periphery of the imaging area.
