ABSTRACT:
Light incident on a microlens at a large incident angle can be efficiently guided to a photo-electric converting portion in a solid state image sensor. In a solid state image sensor having a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels includes a microlens which condenses light, a photo-electric converting portion which photoelectrically converts light condensed by the microlens, a metal electrode layer which is interposed between the microlens and the photo-electric converting portion and has an opening at a position corresponding to the optical path of light traveling from the microlens toward the photo-electric converting portion, and a transparent film layer which is interposed between the microlens and the photo-electric converting portion and has a convex lens-shaped portion that is convex on the microlens side.
