  • Patent number: 10115761
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging device includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a transistor, and an element separation region separating the photoelectric conversion unit and the transistor. The photoelectric conversion unit and the transistor constitute a pixel. The element separation region is formed of a semiconductor region of a conductivity type opposite to that of a source region and a drain region of the transistor. A part of a gate electrode of the transistor protrudes toward the element separation region side beyond an active region of the transistor. An insulating film having a thickness substantially the same as that of a gate insulating film of the gate electrode of the transistor is formed on the element separation region continuing from a part thereof under the gate electrode of the transistor to a part thereof continuing from the part under the gate electrode of the transistor.

  • Patent number: 10050071
    Abstract: To obtain an imaging unit, a lens barrel, and a portable terminal which can effectively suppress spring-back of solid-state imaging elements, while facilitating height lowering thereof. An imaging unit includes: a solid-state imaging element; and an imaging lens for forming a subject image on a photoelectric conversion part of the solid-state imaging element. An imaging surface of the solid-state imaging element is curved in a manner that a peripheral side is inclined toward an object side relative to a screen center. The imaging lens constrains the solid-state imaging element to prevent a radius of curvature of the imaging surface from varying. Thus, field curvature, distortion aberration, and comatic aberration are appropriately corrected.
