Abstract
In a solid-state image pickup device having photoelectric converting sections, vertical charge transfer sections, and a horizontal charge transfer section, the vertical charge transfer sections include first, second, and third vertical charge transfer electrodes The third (final) vertical charge transfer electrode, which is adjacent to the horizontal charge transfer section, is electrically connected to a shunt wire (a first shading film) via lining contacts. A second shading film is formed electrically separated from the shunt wire, for light-shielding areas between photoelectric converting sections in a vertical direction.
