Abstract

A solid state imaging device including: a pixel region that is formed on a light incidence side of a substrate and to which a plurality of pixels that include photoelectric conversion units is arranged; a peripheral circuit unit that is formed in a lower portion in the substrate depth direction of the pixel region and that includes an active element; and a light shielding member that is formed between the pixel region and the peripheral circuit unit and that shields the incidence of light, emitted from an active element, to the photoelectric conversion unit.

Claims (19)

1. A light detecting device, comprising:

a pixel region that is formed on a light incident side of a first substrate and in which a plurality of pixels that include photoelectric conversion units is arranged;

a circuit unit that is formed in a second substrate below at least one of the plurality of pixels in the first substrate;

a first multilayer-wiring layer that includes a first wiring layer having a first wiring and a second wiring layer having a second wiring; and

a second multilayer-wiring layer formed at a side of the second substrate, wherein the second multilayer-wiring layer includes a third wiring layer having a third wiring and a fourth wiring layer having a fourth wiring, and wherein the first substrate and the second substrate are stacked;

wherein,

the first multilayer-wiring layer and the second multilayer-wiring layer are disposed between the pixel region and the circuit unit, and

one of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring, extending in a first direction, at least partially overlaps with another of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring extending in the first direction.

2. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first wiring and the second wiring is connected to at least one pixel or a dummy wiring.

3. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring and the another of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring is formed by a reflection member that reflects light or an absorbing member that absorbs light.

4. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring and the another of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring includes at least one of tungsten (W), copper (Cu), titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), and/or carbon (C).

5. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring and the another of the first wiring, the second wiring, the third wiring or the fourth wiring reflects and disperses light.

6. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein a first distance in which the first wiring overlaps the second wiring is greater than a second distance, wherein the second distance is a distance between the first wiring and the second wiring.

7. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuit unit includes a plurality of second transistors.

8. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light detecting device is a backside-illumination type light detecting device.

9. The light detecting device according to claim 7 , wherein the pixel region includes a plurality of first transistors.

10. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the first wiring and at least a portion of the second wiring are disposed over one or more active elements in the second substrate which have a capability of emitting light.

11. The light detecting device according to claim 9 , wherein the first and second multilayer-wiring layers are disposed between the plurality of first transistors and the plurality of second transistors.

12. The light detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein the third wiring extending in a second direction, overlaps with the fourth wiring extending in the second direction.
