Abstract
A solid-state image pickup device including: a pixel region on a semiconductor substrate, the pixel region including: a sensor region for photoelectrically converting incident light; a vertical CCD formed on one side of the sensor region with a readout region interposed between the sensor region and the vertical CCD; and a channel stop region formed on a side opposite from the sensor region with the vertical CCD interposed between the sensor region and the channel stop region; and a vertical transfer electrode on the vertical CCD with an insulating film interposed between the vertical transfer electrode and the vertical CCD. The vertical transfer electrode is formed above the vertical CCD such that width of the vertical transfer electrode and width of a channel region of the vertical CCD are substantially equal to each other.
