Abstract
Provided is a solid-state imaging device that includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion units formed on a substrate to generate signal charges according to an amount of incident light, a microlens array including a microlens for a photoelectric conversion unit group including at least two or more adjacent photoelectric conversion units to guide incident light to the photoelectric conversion unit group, a scatterer on an optical path of the incident light collected by the microlens, and an inter-pixel light shielding portion including a groove between the photoelectric conversion unit of the photoelectric conversion unit group and the photoelectric conversion unit adjacent to the photoelectric conversion unit group and an insulating material filled in the groove. An opening side of an inner side surface of the groove on the scatterer side is a flat surface inclined so that a groove width becomes narrower toward a bottom of the groove.
