A solid-state imaging device includes a color filter that selectively transmits incoming light. The color filter includes two λ/4 multilayer films, and an insulation layer sandwiched between the two λ/4 multilayer films. Here, each of the λ/4 multilayer films is constituted by a plurality of dielectric layers, and the optical thickness of the insulation layer is not λ/4. Since this color filter has a smaller thickness, the solid-state imaging device has a smaller size.

In an electric double-layer capacitor, resistance of a polarizable electrode layer is reduced and gas generation inside a case is suppressed in an attempt to improve reliability. On that account, an electric double-layer capacitor is provided, which is obtained by housing in a case, together with a driving electrolyte, a capacitor element wound with a separator interposed between electrodes being paired anode and cathode electrodes in each of which polarizable electrode layers are formed on and lead wires are fixed to both sides of a current collector made of metallic foil, such that the polarizable electrode layers are opposed to each other. Further, an electric double-layer capacitor is provided in which the lead wire is fixed to a polarizable-electrode-layer-removed section on the electrode where the polarizable electrode layer has been removed, and an area of the polarizable-electrode-layer-removed section is not smaller than 1 and not larger than 2.0 when a project area of a portion where the lead wire is connected with the current collector is set to 1.

A planarizing layer, a light shielding film, a further planarizing layer and condenser lenses are formed sequentially on the semiconductor substrate and the photoelectric converters. The light shielding film has apertures at positions corresponding to the photoelectric conversion devices. Multilayer interference filters that transmit either a red, green or blue wavelength component of light are disposed in the apertures.

A manufacturing method of a solid-state imaging device prevents generation of a space due to insufficient filling of a conductive material. Materials constituting a multilayer film 41 are sequentially deposited on a semiconductor substrate, and portions respectively included in a plug formation intended region and a surrounding region that surrounds the plug formation intended region are removed from the deposited multilayer film 41. Next, the plug formation intended region and the surrounding region from which the portions have been removed is refilled with a single insulating material, and a hole is formed on the plug formation intended region by etching. Then, the formed hole is filled with a conductive material to therefore form a plug.

In a method for manufacturing a solid-state imaging device of the present invention, a pad insulting film 2 made of an oxide film and an anti-oxidizing film 3 made of a nitride film are deposited on a n-type semiconductor substrate 1. Then, an opening 4 is formed to expose an element isolation formation region of the semiconductor substrate 1. Next, an anti-oxidizing film (not shown) for burying the opening 4 is formed on the substrate and anisotropic etching is performed to form a sidewall 5. Subsequently, a trench 6 is formed using the anti-oxidizing film 3 and the sidewall 5 as a mask. Then, a p-type impurity is implanted into a part of the semiconductor substrate 1 which is exposed at the side face of the trench 6 and a thermal oxide film is formed in the surface portion of the trench 6 in the semiconductor substrate 1. Thereafter, the trench 6 is buried with a burying film 8.
