Abstract
An image capturing device is provided. The device includes a substrate comprising a pixel region, a peripheral region and a trench region, in which trenches are formed, between the pixel region and the peripheral region. The plurality of trenches include first trenches arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a first direction along a first side of an outer edge of the pixel region and second trenches arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the first direction. The first and second trenches are arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a second direction crossing the first direction. The first and second trenches are arranged so that, any straight line path which connects, without overlapping any one of the first and second trenches, the first side and the peripheral region, does not exist.
