SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A solid-state imaging device capable of reducing the occurrence of a dark current and a pixel defect is provided. A solid-state imaging device 10 is formed in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements 4 are formed in a semiconductor substrate 1; circuits 5 which read out signal charge from each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements 4 are respectively formed on the semiconductor substrate 1; light is applied from the opposite side to the circuits 5 which read out signal charge from each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements; and a gettering region is provided in an element-isolation area 2 which separate the photoelectric conversion elements 4 adjacent to each other.
