- and
- an isolation region provided in the organic photoelectric conversion film at a position corresponding to between the pixels to perform optical and electrical isolation.
A method for manufacturing a solid-state image pickup device comprising the steps of:
- forming a plurality of pixels in a semiconductor substrate, the pixels including a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions and MOS transistors selectively reading out signals therefrom;
- forming at least one organic photoelectric conversion film on the photoelectric conversion portions;
- and
- forming an isolation region performing optical and electrical isolation in the organic photoelectric conversion film at a position corresponding to between the pixels.
An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- a light condensing optical portion condensing incident light;
- an image pickup portion having a solid-state image pickup device which receives light condensed by the light condensing optical portion and performs photoelectrical conversion of the light;
- and
- a signal processing portion processing a signal which is photoelectrical-converted by the solid-state image pickup device and is output from the image pickup portion,
- wherein the solid-state image pickup device includes
- a plurality of pixels provided in a semiconductor substrate, the pixels including a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions and MOS transistors selectively reading out signals therefrom;
- at least one organic photoelectric conversion film on the photoelectric conversion portions;
