る。[Problems and Objectives to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the prior art described above, it is common to provide only one passivation layer using an organic resin. Organic resins generally have higher moisture permeability than inorganic thin films (eg, silicon dioxide). Therefore, improvement in the moisture resistance of solid-state imaging devices cannot be expected. For example, failures such as corrosion of aluminum wiring occur. On the other hand, it is possible to completely mold with silicone resin or epoxy resin after wire bonding, but in the case of devices that convert light into electricity, such as solid-state imaging devices, a completely transparent film is required. A passivation layer must be formed. Therefore, molding with the silicone resin or epoxy resin is not possible. The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a solid-state imaging device with high moisture resistance and reliability.

[Function] According to the above configuration of the present invention, the step difference in the aluminum wiring is alleviated by the transparent organic resin coating layer which has extremely good step coverage. Can be formed well. Furthermore, since the transparent organic resin coating layer can be etched using the uppermost inorganic thin film as a mask, pad open holes can be provided with only one photo process.

A polyimide layer 9 is formed by a method or the like. Any film thickness can be obtained depending on the viscosity of the polyimide solution or the rotational speed of the spinner.◇As mentioned above, in order to avoid deterioration of the properties of α-3IH, the temperature is 300°C or lower. On top of that, 310. Deposit film 1o. Further apply a photoresist layer,
