Disclosed herein is a solid-state image pickup device including a solid-state image pickup element operable to produce an electric charge according to the amount of light received, a lens disposed on the upper side of a pixel of the solid-state image pickup element, a protective film which covers the upper side of the lens and a surface of which is flattened, and a surface film which is formed at the surface of the protective film and which is higher in hydrophilicity than the inside of the protective film.

Solid-state image pickup device, method of manufacturing solid-state image pickup device, and electronic apparatus

A solid-state image capture device including: at least one photoelectric converter at an image capture surface of a substrate; at least one on-chip lens at the image capture surface of the substrate and above a light-receiving surface of the photoelectric converter; and an antireflection layer on an upper surface of the on-chip lens. The antireflection layer contains a binder resin having a lower refractive index than that of the on-chip lens and low-refractive-index particles having a lower refractive index than that of the binder resin.

Solid-state image capture device, manufacturing method therefor, and electronic apparatus

Disclosed herein is a solid-state image pickup device including: a trench formed in an insulating film above a light-receiving portion; a first waveguide core portion provided on an inner wall side of the trench; a second waveguide core portion filled in the trench via the first waveguide core portion; and a rectangular lens formed of the same material as that of the second waveguide core portion and provided integrally with the second waveguide core portion.

Solid-state image pickup device, method of manufacturing the same and electronic apparatus

A solid-state image capture device includes: at least one photoelectric converter provided at an image capture surface of a substrate to receive incident light at a light-receiving surface of the photoelectric converter and photoelectrically convert the incident light to thereby generate signal charge; at least one on-chip lens provided at the image capture surface of the substrate and above the light-receiving surface of the photoelectric converter to focus the incident light onto the light-receiving surface; and an antireflection layer provided on an upper surface of the on-chip lens at the image capture surface of the substrate. The antireflection layer contains a binder resin having a lower refractive index than the on-chip lens and low-refractive-index particles having a lower refractive index than the binder resin.
