Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the image pickup picture-quality of a solid-state image pickup device using a charge coupled element by smoothly forming an insulating film coating the surfaces of a photosensitive section and a shift register onto one main surface of a semiconductor substrate. CONSTITUTION:There are methods in which an insulating film 9 consisting of SiO2, etc. is formed many times and the insulating film is shaped while a projecting section is, on the contrary, used as a mask for removing the stepped section of the insulating film 9 in a vertical shift register section for a photosensitive section. Accordingly, since the flat insulating film is formed, the effect of a lens to incident beams 10 by the insulating film 9 generated at the end of a polysilicon electrode 7 is nullified, charged flowing into the vertical shift register are reduced, and charges stored in the photosensitive section are increased, thus improving characteristics.

Therefore, the charges that should normally be accumulated in the photosensitive section end up leaking into the direct shift register, so the photosensitive section
The vertical direction decreases, and the smear component increases in the vertical 7-foot register, which causes deterioration in image quality. The irregularities on the surface of the solid-state imaging device have a drawback that leads to deterioration of the characteristics. (Objective of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to eliminate such defects and eliminate the distortion of the characteristics. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an improved solid-state imaging device.
