Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. A device isolation layer which defines a first region, a second region, and a support region in the substrate. The second region has a smaller width than the first region, and the support region is between the first region and the second region. A photoelectric conversion element is in the first region. The support region is continuous with the first region and the second region. The device isolation layer has an integral insulation structure which extends through the substrate from the first surface of the substrate to the second surface of the substrate.
