Solid image pick-up element with a single layer electrode structure and method of producing the same

A solid image pick-up element comprising:

• a photoelectric converting portion;
• a charge transmitting portion comprising a charge transmitting electrode that transmits a charge generated by the photoelectric converting portion;
• a peripheral circuit portion connected to the charge transmitting portion;
• a wiring layer for the peripheral circuit portion;
• and
• wherein a surface level of a field oxide film provided at the peripheral circuit portion and the charge transmitting portion to surround an effective image pick-up region of the photoelectric converting portion is to a degree the same as a surface level of the photoelectric converting portion,
• the charge transmitting electrode includes a first electrode, and
• a surface level of the first electrode is substantially the same as a surface level of the wiring layer.
