Patent ID: 8148755

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a plurality of light-receiving units which are formed in rows and columns on said semiconductor substrate and convert incident light into signal charge; a transfer channel formed in each of the columns for transferring, in a column direction, the signal charge obtained as a result of the conversion by said plurality of light-receiving units in a corresponding one of the columns; a plurality of first transfer electrodes and a plurality of second transfer electrodes that are formed in a same layer and deposited alternately above said transfer channel in the column direction; insulating regions each of which is formed above said transfer channel and between one of said plurality of first transfer electrodes and one of said plurality of second transfer electrodes which are adjacent to each other in the column direction; an antireflection film formed above said plurality of light-receiving units to prevent reflection of light entering said plurality of light-receiving units, and formed on said insulating regions to cover said insulating regions; a first wire formed in each of the rows in a layer upper than said antireflection film, and electrically connected to a plurality of second transfer electrodes, among said plurality of second transfer electrodes, which are deposited in a corresponding one of the rows; and a light-shielding film which is formed in a layer upper than said first wire, covers said transfer channel, and has an opening above each of said plurality of light-receiving units.
