Abstract
A solid-state imaging apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate, an upper layer film, and on-chip lenses. On the semiconductor substrate, a plurality of pixels are formed. The upper layer film is laminated on the semiconductor substrate. The on-chip lenses are formed on the upper layer film so as to correspond to the respective pixels. A pupil correction amount of one of the on-chip lenses is changed depending on a distance between a center of a pixel area and the on-chip lens, and depending on a film thickness of the upper layer film at a position of the on-chip lens on the upper layer film.
