Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus where a pixel region that includes a photoelectric converter and a peripheral region that includes a transistor are arranged in a substrate is provided. The photoelectric converter is covered with a first silicon nitride layer, a side surface of a gate electrode of the transistor is covered with a side wall that include a second silicon nitride layer, and the first silicon nitride layer has a lower chlorine concentration than the second silicon nitride layer has.

Claim (Index 19):
The method according to  claim 14 , further comprising:\n forming a metal film so as to cover the pixel region and the peripheral region after the forming the side wall, and performing silicidation on a portion of a substrate and the gate electrode in contact with the metal film, wherein at least one of at least some of source gases used when depositing the first insulating film and the second insulating film, film thicknesses when depositing the first insulating film and the second insulating film, and deposition conditions when depositing the first insulating film and the second insulating film is different, in the forming the side wall, the second insulating film arranged above the pixel region remains, and in the performing silicidation, at least an edge of the first insulating film is covered with the second insulating film.
