SOLID-STATE IMAGE PICKUP ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state image pickup element which can reduce moires without using an external optical low pass filter. SOLUTION: The solid-state image pickup element comprises a semiconductor substrate which demarcates a two-dimensional surface, a plurality of photoelectric transfer elements formed in a plurality of row and columns in a photo detecting region 2 of the semiconductor substrate, a flattening insulation film 8 formed above the semiconductor substrate, and a plurality of microlenses 12 which are formed above the flattening insulation film 8 and have optical characteristic to allow light incident to two or more photoelectric transfer elements.
