Back-illuminated solid-state image pickup device

Abstract

In a back-illuminated solid-state image pickup device including a semiconductor substrate 4 having a light incident surface at a back surface side and a plurality of charge transfer electrodes 2 disposed at a light detection surface at an opposite side of the semiconductor substrate 4 with respect to the light incident surface, a plurality of openings OP for transmitting light are formed between charge transfer electrodes 2 that are adjacent to each other. Also, a plurality of openings OP for transmitting light may be formed inside each charge transfer electrode 2.
