Abstract

A manufacturing method of a solid-state imaging device includes: preparing a photoelectric conversion device; forming an insulating layer on a surface of the photoelectric conversion device; forming a wire-grid polarizer on a support base; bonding a forming surface of the wire-grid polarizer on the support base to the insulating layer on the surface of the photoelectric conversion device and removing the support base from the wire-grid polarizer.

Claims (22)

1. A solid-state imaging device comprising:

a passivation layer on a sidewall of a wire-grid polarizer, said passivation layer extending from a first surface of the wire-grid polarizer to a second surface of the wire-grid polarizer;

a micro-lens between a base device and a first insulating layer, said first insulating layer being between said first surface of the wire-grid polarizer and said micro-lens.

2. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said passivation layer is between said first insulating layer and said first surface of the wire-grid polarizer.

3. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said first of the wire-grid polarizer is opposite to said second surface of the wire-grid polarizer.

4. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said passivation layer touches said first insulating layer and said first of the wire-grid polarizer.

5. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein said base device includes a wiring layer and at least one transistor.

6. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein a concave portion is hole in the first insulating layer, said hole extending partially into said first insulating layer from a surface of the first insulating layer.

7. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 6 , wherein said wire-grid polarizer is in said concave portion.

8. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a color filter between said base device and said micro-lens.

9. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 8 , wherein said micro-lens touches said color filter.

10. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a device planarization layer between said base device and said color filter.

11. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 10 , wherein said device planarization layer touches said base device and said color filter.

12. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a micro-lens planarization layer between said first insulating layer and said micro-lens.

13. The solid-state imaging device according to claim 12 , wherein said micro-lens planarization layer touches said first insulating layer and said micro-lens.
