Solid image capturing element for power saving at output section and manufacturing method for the same

A method for manufacturing a solid image capturing element having a plurality of vertical shift registers arranged to each correspond to a column of a plurality of light receiving pixels in a matrix arrangement, a horizontal shift register provided on an output side of the plurality of vertical shift registers, and an output section provided on an output side of the horizontal shift register, comprising:

• a first step of forming over one major surface of a conductive semiconductor substrate a first reverse conductive semiconductor region having a first dopant concentration;
• a second step of forming over the one major surface of the conductive semiconductor substrate a second reverse conductive semiconductor region having a second dopant concentration which is higher than the first dopant concentration;
• and
• a third step of forming the horizontal shift register on the first reverse conductive semiconductor region and the output section on the second reverse conductive semiconductor region.
