ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for acquiring physical information, method for manufacturing semiconductor device including array of a plurality of unit components for detecting physical quantity distribution, light-receiving device and manufacturing method therefor, and solid-state imaging device and manufacturing method therefore are provided. The method for acquiring physical information uses a device for detecting a physical distribution, the device including a detecting part for detecting an electromagnetic wave and a unit signal generating part for generating a corresponding unit signal on the basis of the quantity of the detected electromagnetic wave. The detecting part includes a stacked member having a structure in which a plurality of layers having different refractive indexes between the adjacent ones and each having a predetermined thickness is stacked, the stacked member being provided on the incident surface side to which the electromagnetic wave is incident and having the characteristic that a predetermined wavelength region component of the electromagnetic wave is reflected, and the remainder is transmitted.
