  • Patent number: 7884437
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate having an imaging region in which a plurality of photoreceptors are arranged, and a peripheral circuit region arranged around the imaging region; a plurality of microlenses formed on the imaging region; a low-refractive-index film formed on the semiconductor substrate to cover the plurality of microlenses and part of the peripheral circuit region; and a transparent substrate formed on part of the low-refractive-index film above the imaging region. A through hole is formed in part of the low-refractive-index film above an amplifier circuit arranged in the peripheral circuit region.
