A chemical sensor including a substrate, an on-chip lens layer, and a flattening layer. On the substrate, a plurality of photodiodes are formed and arranged in a planar form. The on-chip lens layer collects incident light to the photodiodes and is provided on the substrate. The flattening layer covers and planarizes the on-chip lens to form a probe holding surface for holding a probe material.
