    摘要: A semiconductor device has, on a single substrate, a semiconductor circuit portion and a hollow capacitor portion including a pair of counter electrodes and a hollow part located between the counter electrodes. The hollow part of the hollow capacitor portion is surrounded by an insulating film, and a through hole is formed in the insulating film to communicate with the hollow part. The top surface of the insulating film covering the hollow part is planarized. Part of the insulating film located to the lateral sides of the hollow part supports the other part thereof located on the hollow part and upper one of the counter electrodes.

    摘要: A vehicle-mounted imaging device that is mounted in an automobile and performs color imaging has been provided with a plurality of two-dimensionally arranged pixel cells. In each of the pixels, a color filter separates incident light by a multilayer interference filter. The multilayer interference filter is composed of two λ/4 multilayer films and a spacer layer sandwiched therebetween. The multilayer interference filter transmits light in a wavelength region that corresponds to an optical thickness of the spacer layer. The λ/4 multilayer films and spacer layer are composed of inorganic materials.

    摘要: An infrared sensor includes a series capacitor element and a reference capacitor element each exhibiting a predetermined capacitance value; an infrared-detecting capacitor element whose capacitance value varies depending on an intensity of infrared light incident on the element; and an output node being a node at which a first terminal of the series capacitor element, a first terminal of the reference capacitor element and a first terminal of the infrared-detecting capacitor element are connected to one another. The intensity of infrared light is output as a potential difference between the reference potential which is brought to a potential by applying a predetermined voltage between the series capacitor element and the reference capacitor element and the detection potential which is brought to a potential by applying a predetermined voltage between the series capacitor element and the infrared-detecting capacitor element.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a small solid-state image sensor which realizes significant improvement in sensitivity. The solid-state image sensor of the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate in which photoelectric conversion units are formed, a light-blocking film which is formed above the semiconductor substrate and has apertures formed so as to be positioned above respective photoelectric conversion units, and a high refractive index layer formed in the apertures. Here, each aperture has a smaller aperture width than a maximum wavelength in a wavelength of light in a vacuum converted from a wavelength of the light entering the photoelectric conversion unit through the apertures, and the high refractive index is made of a high refractive index material having a refractive index which allows transmission of light having the maximum wavelength through the aperture.
