Patent ID: 7714404

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arranged in a two-dimensional array in a surface portion of the semiconductor substrate; a conductive light shielding film above the surface portion, the conductive light shielding film having openings at a light-incident side of the respective photoelectric conversion elements; a connection pad formed in the semiconductor substrate and to be applied with a voltage from outside the solid-state imaging device; and a wiring that connects the connection pad and the conductive light shielding film, wherein the wiring has a wiring structure having a time constant smaller than that of one linear wiring, and wherein the wiring structure includes: a first wiring having a frame shape and disposed in a peripheral portion of the conductive light shielding film; a second wiring that connects the first wiring and the connection pad; and a plurality of third wirings that connect a plurality of connecting points disposed around the conductive light shielding film and the first wiring.
