Abstract
A method for manufacturing a solid-state image sensor having a pixel region, a peripheral circuit region, and an intermediate region interposed between the pixel region and the peripheral circuit region, includes forming a high melting point metal compound in active regions of the peripheral circuit region and the intermediate region, forming an etch stop film on the high melting point metal compound formed in the active regions of the peripheral circuit region and the intermediate region, forming an interlayer insulating film on the etch stop film, and forming, by using the etch stop film, a contact plug to contact the high melting point metal compound in the active region of the peripheral circuit region.
