  • Publication number: 20240413179
    Abstract: An imaging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposed to each other, the semiconductor substrate including a plurality of pixels disposed in a matrix, and a plurality of photoelectric converters that each generates, through photoelectric conversion, electric charge corresponding to an amount of received light for each of the pixels; a plurality of color filters provided on a side of the first surface in respective ones of the plurality of pixels; a plurality of condensing lenses provided on a light incident side of the plurality of color filters in the respective ones of the plurality of pixels; and a separation wall provided between the plurality of color filters adjacent to each other on the side of the first surface, the separation wall having a line width on the light incident side narrower than the line width of the separation wall on the side of the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20220068991
    Abstract: A light-shielding body that shields incident light from an adjacent pixel is easily formed even in a case where the pixel is made finer. An imaging element is provided with a photoelectric conversion unit, an insulating film, an incident light transmitting film, and a light-shielding body. The photoelectric conversion unit is formed in a semiconductor substrate to perform photoelectric conversion of incident light from a subject and is arranged in a plurality of pixels. The insulating film is arranged on a plurality of pixels to insulate the semiconductor substrate. The incident light transmitting film is arranged adjacent to the insulating film of the plurality of pixels and transmits the incident light. The light-shielding body is arranged in a groove formed in the incident light transmitting film on a peripheral edge of each of the plurality of pixels to shield the incident light.
