Abstract
A method of manufacturing a solid-state image sensor comprising a pixel part including a photoelectric conversion element and a MOS transistor, comprising steps of forming a first insulating film made of a nitrogen-containing silicon compound on the photoelectric conversion element and the MOS transistor, forming an opening in at least a portion of the first insulating film, which is positioned above a channel of the MOS transistor, forming a second insulating film on the first insulating film, forming a contact hole extending through the second insulating film and the first insulating film, and forming, in the contact hole, a contact plug to be connected to the MOS transistor.
