Patent ID: 8736731

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a pixel region provided on a semiconductor substrate, and in which a plurality of pixels including a photoelectric conversion unit having a photoelectric conversion function are arranged; a wiring layer provided at one plate surface of the semiconductor substrate; a color filter layer divided into a plurality of color filters respectively corresponding to the pixels that are arranged in the pixel region; an inter-pixel light shielding unit provided in a boundary portion between pixels that are adjacent to each other, between the semiconductor substrate and the color filter layer; and a signal processing circuit configured to perform processing of an output signal from respective pixels, wherein the signal processing circuit corrects an output value of the output signal from the respective pixels on the basis of the magnitude of a difference in sensitivity which occurs between the plurality of pixels due to a difference in the amount of the inter-pixel light shielding unit at the boundary portion that is present in a periphery of the respective pixels, wherein the pixels include a combination of different color pixels in which the colors of the color filter are different from each other, and a combination of same color pixels in which the colors of the color filter are the same as each other, and wherein the inter-pixel light shielding unit is biasedly located at the boundary portion of the combination of the different color pixels.
