    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a solid-state image device that can effectively dissipate heat. In order to attain the object, the solid-state image device of the present invention includes non-through heat dissipation portions (7) provided on a semiconductor substrate (2). The non-through heat dissipation portion (7) is made up of a non-through hole and a metal embedded in the non-through hole. The non-through hole has one open end on one of the surfaces of the semiconductor substrate (2), extends from the one surface toward the other surface of the semiconductor substrate (2), and has the other end between the surfaces of the semiconductor substrate (2). The non-through heat dissipation portions (7) act as heat dissipation paths.
