  • Publication number: 20230300492
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a light detection device capable of suppressing optical color mixing while improving sensitivity. On a substrate in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion units is formed, anisotropic etching is performed from one surface side of the substrate to form a plurality of openings arranged in a lattice shape at predetermined intervals on the substrate to surround each photoelectric conversion unit. Subsequently, isotropic etching is performed from one surface side of the substrate to connect adjacent openings to each other, to form a lattice-shaped trench part on the substrate to surround each photoelectric conversion unit.

  • Patent number: 9515110
    Abstract: There is provided a solid-state imaging device including: a semiconductor substrate that is formed with a photodiode for each pixel; a light shielding film that is laminated on the semiconductor substrate on a side of a light irradiated surface which is irradiated with light, and is formed to include an opening corresponding to a spot in which at least the photodiode is arranged; and a photoelectric conversion film that is laminated to cover the light irradiated surface of the semiconductor substrate and the light shielding film, and is configured to generate an electrical charge by absorbing light. The photoelectric conversion film is formed of a material which has higher light absorptivity than light absorptivity of the semiconductor substrate.
