- the physical film thickness of the silicon dioxide layer 504 is blue filter.
- a resist 505 is formed on the silicon dioxide layer 504 corresponding to the blue filter 301B (FIG. 6 (b)), and a portion of the silicon dioxide layer 504 that is not covered with the resist 505 is formed. After the film thickness is reduced by etching (FIG. 6 (c)), the resist 505 is removed (FIG. 6).
- a resist 506 is formed on the silicon dioxide layer 504 at locations other than those corresponding to the red filter 301R and the blue filter 301B (FIG. 6 (e)) and etched (FIG. 6 (f)). Is removed.
- a resist is applied to the wafer surface, and after exposure beta (pre-beta), exposure is performed by an exposure apparatus such as a stepper, resist development, and final beta development.
- Resist 505 and 506 are formed by (post-beta). After that, physically using a tetrafluoromethane (CF) -based etching gas.
- CF tetrafluoromethane
- the etcher layer 504 may be etched.
- ⁇ 4 multilayer films 302 to 304 are formed (FIG. 6). (h)).

- graphs 603, 613, and 623 show transmittance characteristics related to the red filter 301R.
- the wavelength set for the ⁇ ⁇ 4 multilayer film should be determined so that infrared rays can be cut off. Needless to say, at least 700 nm to 1000 nm of near infrared rays must be cut off.
- the force described in the case of forming a ⁇ 4 multilayer film exclusively on the multilayer interference filter 301 is not limited to this. Needless to say, ⁇ 4 A multilayer interference filter may be formed on the multilayer film.
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the wavelength separation filter according to this modification.
- the wavelength separation filter 7 according to this modification is formed by sequentially laminating ⁇ 4 multilayer films 703 and 704 and a multilayer interference filter 701 on a ⁇ 4 multilayer film 702.
- the dielectric layers constituting the ⁇ 4 multilayer films 702 to 704 can be flattened over a plurality of pixel cells arranged two-dimensionally. Therefore, characteristic deterioration due to oblique light that becomes noticeable when the pixel cell is miniaturized can be suppressed.
- Zirconium oxide ZrO
- silicon nitride SiN
- silicon nitride SiN
- silicon nitride, tantalum pentoxide, and zirconium dioxide are desirably used as high refractive index materials.
- the effect of the present invention can be obtained regardless of the dielectric material.
- the multilayer film interference filter constituting the visible light filter is 8 layers has been described, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of 4 layers, 12 layers, 16 layers or more good.
- the spacer layer may be made of the same material as that of the high refractive index layer of the ⁇ 4 multilayer film, or may be made of the same material as that of the low refractive index layer. Further, a material different from the material of any layer constituting the ⁇ 4 multilayer film may be used.
- the solid-state imaging device and camera according to the present invention are useful as a technique for blocking infrared rays contained in incident light.
