Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a solid-state image device, a method for manufacturing the solid-state image device, and an electronic device that are capable of reducing uneven application of a color filter. A color filter and a plurality of connection unit areas are formed on a sensor board. At least one of the connection unit areas is placed a predetermined interval away from the other connection unit areas. The present disclosure can be applied, for example, to a backside illumination CMOS image sensor with a layer structure, a front-side illumination CMOS image sensor with a layer structure, or a CCD image sensor.

Claims (27)

1. A solid-state image device comprising:

a color filter formed on a first substrate; and

a plurality of first height difference portions formed on the first substrate,

wherein at least a first one of the first height difference portions is placed a first interval away from the other first height difference portions, wherein the first interval is longer than or equal to a length of the first one of the first height difference portions in a direction in which the first one of the first height difference portions is placed the first interval away from the other first height difference portions.

2. A solid-state image device comprising:

a color filter formed on a first substrate; and

a plurality of first height difference portions formed on the first substrate,

wherein at least a first one of the first height difference portions is placed a first interval away from the other first height difference portions, wherein the first height difference portions are configured to electrically connect the first substrate and a second substrate.

3. The solid-state image device according to claim 2 , wherein each of the first height difference portions is arranged the first interval away from the nearest other first height difference portions.

4. The solid-state image device according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a second height difference portion formed on the first substrate,

wherein the second height difference portion is placed a second interval away from the first height difference portions in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first height difference portions are arranged, the second interval being shorter than the first interval.

5. A solid-state image device comprising:

a color filter formed on a first substrate; and

a plurality of first height difference portions formed into a quadrangular prism on the first substrate,

wherein a predetermined first height difference portion of the first height difference portions is placed so that a first corner nearest to a first position among corners of the predetermined height difference portion, a second corner placed on a first side of a second first height difference portion on which a third corner nearest to the first position is also placed, and the first position are arranged in a straight line, and a fourth corner placed on a second side on which the first corner nearest to the first position among the corners of the predetermined height difference portion is also placed, the third corner of the second first height difference portion nearest to the first position, and the first position are arranged in a straight line.

6. The solid-state image device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the first height difference portions are configured to connect the first substrate and a second substrate.

7. The solid-state image device according to claim 5 ,

wherein each of the first height difference portions is placed so that a corner nearest to the first position among corners of each of the first height difference portions, and a corner placed on a side on which a corner of another first height difference portion nearest to the first position is also placed, and the first position are arranged in a straight line, and a corner placed on a side on which the corner nearest to the first position among the corners of each of the first height difference portions is also placed, and the corner of another first height difference portion nearest to the first position, and the first position are arranged in a straight line.

8. The solid-state image device according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a plurality of second height difference portions formed into a quadrangular prism on the first substrate,

wherein a predetermined second height difference portion of the second height difference portions is placed so that a fifth corner nearest to a second position among corners of the predetermined second height difference portion, a sixth corner placed on a third side of a second height difference portion on which a seventh corner nearest to the second position is also placed, and the second position are arranged in a straight line, and an eighth corner placed on a fourth side on which the fifth corner nearest to the second position among the corners of the predetermined second height difference portion is also placed, the seventh corner of the second height difference portion nearest to the second position, and the second position are arranged in a straight line.

9. The solid-state image device according to claim 8 , wherein each of the second height difference portions is placed so that a corner nearest to the second position among corners of each of the second height difference portions, and a corner placed on a side on which a corner of another second height difference portion nearest to the second position is also placed, and the second position are arranged in a straight line, and a corner placed on a side on which the corner nearest to the second position among the corners of each of the second height difference portions is also placed, and the corner of another second height difference portion nearest to the second position, and the second position are arranged in a straight line.

10. A solid-state image device comprising:

a color filter formed on a first substrate; and

a height difference portions formed into a ring-shaped solid on the first substrate so that the height difference portion surrounds the color filter, wherein the height difference portion is configured to electrically connect the first substrate and a second substrate.
