Solid-state image sensor, manufacturing method for solid-state image sensor, and camera

A manufacturing method for a solid-state image sensor including a plurality of light-receiving elements arranged in a light-receiving area, and a plurality of micro-lenses corresponding to the light-receiving elements, the method comprising:

• a micro-lens forming step of forming micro-lenses placed in positions directly above the corresponding light-receiving elements at a center of the light-receiving area, and placed in positions which are progressively offset from the positions directly above the corresponding light-receiving elements towards the center, as micro-lenses are located farther from the center;
• and
• a flattening film forming step of forming a flattening film on the formed micro-lenses.

A camera comprising a solid-state image sensor including a plurality of light-receiving elements arranged in a light-receiving area, and a plurality of micro-lenses corresponding to the light-receiving elements,

• wherein the solid-state image sensor includes a flattening film formed on the plurality of micro-lenses, and
• the micro-lenses are placed in positions directly above the corresponding light-receiving elements at a center of the light-receiving area, and placed in positions which are progressively offset from the positions directly above the corresponding light-receiving elements towards the center, as micro-lenses are located farther from the center.
