Abstract:
An offset spacer film (OSS) is formed on a side wall surface of a gate electrode (NLGE, PLGE) to cover a region in which a photo diode (PD) is disposed. Next, an extension region (LNLD, LPLD) is formed using the offset spacer film and the like as an implantation mask. Next, process is provided to remove the offset spacer film covering the region in which the photo diode is disposed. Next, a sidewall insulating film (SWI) is formed on the side wall surface of the gate electrode. Next, a source-drain region (HPDF, LPDF, HNDF, LNDF) is formed using the sidewall insulating film and the like as an implantation mask.

Claim (Index 18):
The method for manufacturing the image capturing device according to  claim 15 , wherein\n in the step (a), the pixel region is one of a first pixel region, a second pixel region, and a third pixel region respectively corresponding to red, green and blue; in the step (c), the photoelectric conversion region, is one of a first photoelectric conversion region in the first pixel region, a second photoelectric conversion region in the second pixel region, and a third photoelectric conversion region in the third pixel region; and the method further comprises, after the step (n), the steps of: (o) forming a silicidation blocking film to cover the pixel region including the first photoelectric conversion region, the second photoelectric conversion region, and the third photoelectric conversion region; (p) removing a portion of the silicidation blocking film; and (q) forming a metal silicide film, wherein in the step (p), the silicidation blocking film is processed such that a portion of the silicidation blocking film covers at least one of the first to third photoelectric conversion regions.
