Abstract
A solid-state image sensor capable of suppressing color mixture while suppressing increase of load capacitances of transfer gates and a short circuit between two adjacent transfer gates is provided. This solid-state image sensor comprises a plurality of transfer gates and a shielding material line blocking light incident from above a prescribed pixel upon another pixel adjacent to the prescribed pixel. The shielding material line has a downward projecting portion on a region corresponding to at least one transfer gate entering an ON-state in photoreception.
