[Prior Art] Conventionally, a solid-state imaging device including a CCD or a MOS element has been widely used in a video camera, an electronic still camera, and the like. Generally, the light receiving section of the solid-state imaging device is provided at a predetermined pitch for each pixel in the vertical and horizontal directions (only horizontal in the case of the line sensor), and a transfer area or the like is provided around the light receiving section of one pixel. The generated light is wasted at all, and the sensitivity of the solid-state imaging device is very low.

In order to solve this problem, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-59752 discloses a technique for providing a condensing means for condensing light incident on an area other than the light receiving section and improving the sensitivity of the solid-state imaging device. A technique for forming a hemispherical light collector on the light-receiving part and a technique for forming a lenticular lens at the same pitch as the pixels as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-19181 have been proposed. However, since a light-collecting means such as a hemispherical light collector or a lenticular lens is provided on the solid-state image sensor chip, the manufacturing process of the chip becomes complicated, and its reproducibility is not sufficient. And it was difficult to produce it stably.

When an image of the subject A is formed on A 'in 05, since the exit pupil distance formed by the stop is finite, the principal ray is inclined as the distance from the center of the optical system to the peripheral part increases. When the above-mentioned image A 'is received by the fixed imaging device having the microlens array shown in FIG.
In FIG. 3B, the inclination of the principal ray, that is, the incident light, is small, and almost all of the light is condensed by the condenser section to become effective light. However, in the light receiving section 101 in the peripheral portion shown in FIG. 3B, the principal ray has a certain inclination. Incident light beam, the incident light flux toward the center of the corresponding light collecting section 103a

The microlens array 3 is formed by implanting high-refractive-index ions in a flat glass substrate, for example, by exchanging ions with high-refractive-index ions by applying an electric field to the glass substrate from the outside to perform ion exchange with the high-refractive-index ions. To form a high-refractive-index region, and this region is used as a light-collecting portion 3a. The micro lens array is not limited to the above,
As long as the portion having the light-condensing effect can be formed with the above-mentioned pitch with good controllability, it may be formed by molding using various materials or fine processing. When the microlens array is a glass substrate, it can also serve as a seal glass for a package. Further, in this embodiment, the microlens array 3 is used as the collecting part corresponding to the light receiving part. However, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to an on-chip lens formed directly on a chip.

The operation of the embodiment configured as described above will be described. As described in the related art, a chief ray incident on a solid-state imaging device via a photographing optical system such as a video camera has a finite exit pupil distance, and thus is inclined toward the periphery. That is, the principal ray is inclined and incident on the peripheral portion farther from the center of the microlens array 3, and the converged light flux also shifts outward as the peripheral portion is farther from the center, and the invalid light that is not received increases. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by reducing the pitch of each light condensing part 3a, the luminous flux of the principal ray condensed by the light condensing part 3a in the peripheral part is brought inward, and the central part of the corresponding light receiving part 2 Make it possible to receive light.

As a result of the operation of the microlens array 3 of the present embodiment as described above, the ineffective portion B 1 ′ of the incident light beam toward the center of the peripheral light collecting portion in FIG. 3B is received by the central portion of the light receiving portion. Then, both of the incident light fluxes B 2 and B 2 ′ directed to the boundary between the condensing portions in the peripheral portion are condensed toward the center of the light receiving portions corresponding to the respective condensing portions, and thus become effective light. , The shading is corrected, and the sensitivity unevenness shown in FIG. 4 is reduced. At the same time, the ineffective part of the incident light is added to the effective light, so that the sensitivity is improved.
