Abstract

There is provided a solid-state imaging device, including: a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of pixels, each having a photoelectric conversion portion, formed therein; and a laminated film formed on said semiconductor substrate; wherein said laminated film includes a hydrogen desorbing film for desorbing hydrogen, and a hydrogen blocking-off film disposed so as to overlie said hydrogen desorbing film.

Claims (18)

1. A solid-state imaging device having a plurality of pixels integrated on a light receiving surface, said solid-state imaging device comprising:

a photodiode formed every pixel through partition on a semiconductor substrate becoming said light receiving surface;

a signal reading-out portion formed on said semiconductor substrate for reading out either signal charges generated and accumulated in said photodiode or a voltage corresponding to the signal charges; and

an antireflection film formed so as to cover regions of the photodiodes;

wherein a removal portion obtained by partially removing said antireflection film is provided within each of the photodiode regions, and dispositions of the removal regions within the respective photodiode regions are different from one another among the pixels.

2. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said light receiving surface is partitioned into a plurality of regions, and positions of the removal regions in the respective photodiode regions are different from one another among the pixels.

3. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the positions of the removal regions in the respective photodiode regions are set as ones, close to a center of said light receiving surface, in the respective photodiode regions.

4. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the positions of the removal regions in the respective photodiode regions are set as ones, closer to a center of said light receiving surface, at the photodiodes of the pixels farther from the center of said light receiving surface.

5. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said antireflection film contains therein a silicon nitride.

6. An imaging apparatus, comprising:

a solid-state imaging device having a plurality of pixels integrated on a light receiving surface;

an optical system for guiding an incident light to an imaging portion of said solid-state imaging device; and

a signal processing circuit for processing an output signal from said solid-state imaging device;

wherein said solid-state imaging device includes

a photodiode formed every pixel through partition on a semiconductor substrate becoming said light receiving surface,

a signal reading-out portion formed on said semiconductor substrate for reading out either signal charges generated and accumulated in said photodiode or a voltage corresponding to the signal charges, and

an antireflection film formed so as to cover regions of the photodiodes, and

a removal portion obtained by partially removing said antireflection film is provided within each of the photodiode regions, and dispositions of the removal regions within the respective photodiode regions are different from one another among the pixels.
