Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements provided at a surface portion of a semiconductor substrate by being arranged in a form of a two-dimensional array, spectral elements each provided on a number of the photoelectric conversion elements which are arranged linearly, a trapezoidal opening which is longitudinally elongated in a direction from a base toward an upper side thereof and which introduces incident light to the number of the photoelectric conversion elements being provided in each of the spectral elements, so as to cause spectral separation in the longitudinal direction by interference between the incident light and light reflected on inner side surfaces of the trapezoidal opening and a signal reading unit for reading a signal which is detected by each of the number of the photoelectric conversion elements arranged in the longitudinal direction by receiving the light incident through the trapezoidal opening.
