Abstract
A solid-state imaging device into which is integrated an optical low pass filter serving as the transparent window thereof, this integrated structure simplifying the configuration of the imaging system, reducing its size and manufacturing cost. The optical low pass filter is configured of an optical phase grating low pass filter to obtain satisfactory frequency characteristics. The optical low pass filter is constructed in such a manner that a grating with a predetermined thickness, generating the phase shift of &phgr;, a grating whose thickness is twice the &phgr;-phase shift grating, generating the phase shift of 2&phgr;, and a grating portion generating the phase shift of 0 form a basic pattern, the basic pattern being periodically arranged.
