Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device. Background technique [0002] Some solid-state imaging devices constituting an image sensor such as a CMOS have sensitivity to a wide wavelength region including an ultraviolet region to a near-infrared region. In a solid-state imaging device sensitive to ultraviolet light, an insulating film such as a BPSG (Boro-phospho silicate glass) film is formed as a protective film in the photosensitive region in order to suppress element deterioration caused by ultraviolet light. . In order for the insulating film to sufficiently function as a protective film, a thickness of, for example, about 1 μm is required. In this case, it is considered that interference of incident light occurs between the upper surface of the insulating film and the main surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the spectral sensitivity is periodically shifted with respect to the wavelength of incident light. In order t...
