Abstract
A solid-state imaging device has a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements two dimensionally arrayed in an imaging area, a light shielding film that regulates the amount of external light incident on the photoelectric conversion elements by a wiring pattern, a wiring layer placed between the light shielding film and the photoelectric conversion elements, and a plurality of contacts electrically connecting the light shielding film with the wiring layer in a lamination direction. The shape of the light shielding film is defined by a plurality of first figures overlapping with a second figure, each first figure being placed over a different contact in plan view, and the second figure having a plurality of apertures each corresponding to a different photoelectric conversion element. The center of each aperture in the second figure is displaced further from the center of a corresponding photoelectric conversion element toward the middle of the imaging area in plan view, as distance from the middle of the imaging area increases. Furthermore, a positional relation of the first figures with the second figure differs depending on location in the imaging area.
