Abstract

A photoelectric conversion film stack-type solid-state imaging device includes a semiconductor substrate, a photoelectric conversion layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a conductive light shield film. A signal reading portion is formed on the semiconductor substrate. The photoelectric conversion layer is stacked above the semiconductor substrate and includes a photoelectric conversion film formed between a first electrode film and a second electrode films which is divided into a plurality of regions corresponding to pixels respectively. The first light transmission layer is stacked above the light incidence side of the photoelectric conversion layer and made of a material that transmits light at least partially. The conductive light shield film is formed in the same layer level as the first light transmission layer and covers an outside of an effective pixel region.

Claims (21)

1. A photoelectric conversion film stack-type solid-state imaging device comprising:

a semiconductor substrate on which a signal reading portion is formed;

a photoelectric conversion layer that is stacked above the semiconductor substrate and includes a photoelectric conversion film formed between a first electrode film and a second electrode films which is divided into a plurality of regions corresponding to pixels respectively;

a first light transmission layer that is stacked above the light incidence side of the photoelectric conversion layer and made of a material that transmits light at least partially,

a light shield film that is disposed in the same layer level as the first light transmission layer and covers an outside of an effective pixel region, and

a transparent protective layer disposed between the first light transmission layer and the photoelectric conversion layer,

wherein the first light transmission layer is a color filter layer.

2. The photoelectric conversion film stack-type solid-state imaging device according to claim 1 further comprising:

a second light transmission layer that is disposed between the photoelectric conversion layer and the color filter layer; and

a second light shield film that is disposed in the same layer as the second light transmission layer outside the effective pixel region.

3. The photoelectric conversion film stack-type solid-state imaging device according to claim 2 further comprising a transparent protective layer that is disposed between the second light transmission layer and the photoelectric conversion layer.

4. An imaging apparatus comprising a photoelectric conversion film stack-type solid-state imaging device including:

a semiconductor substrate on which a signal reading portion is formed;

a photoelectric conversion layer that is stacked above the semiconductor substrate and includes a photoelectric conversion film formed between a first electrode film and a second electrode films which is divided into a plurality of regions corresponding to pixels respectively;

a first light transmission layer that is stacked above the light incidence side of the photoelectric conversion layer and made of a material that transmits light at least partially,

a light shield film that is disposed in the same layer level as the first light transmission layer and covers an outside of an effective pixel region, and

a transparent protective layer that is disposed between the first light transmission layer and the photoelectric conversion layer,

wherein the first light transmission layer is a color filter layer.

5. The imaging apparatus according to claim 4 further comprising:

a second light transmission layer that is disposed between the photoelectric conversion layer and the color filter layer; and

a second light shield film that is disposed in the same layer as the second light transmission layer outside the effective pixel region.
