A solid state imaging device 1 is provided with a photoelectric conversion portion 2 having photosensitive regions 13, and a potential gradient forming portion 3 arranged opposite to the photosensitive regions 13. A planar shape of each photosensitive region 13 is a substantially rectangular shape composed of two long sides and two short sides. The photosensitive regions 13 are juxtaposed in a first direction intersecting with the long sides. The potential gradient forming portion 3 has a first potential gradient forming region to form a potential gradient becoming lower along a second direction from one of the short sides to the other of the short sides, and a second potential gradient forming region to form a potential gradient becoming higher along the second direction. The second potential gradient forming region is arranged next to the first potential gradient forming region in the second direction.

In a back-illuminated solid-state image pickup device including a semiconductor substrate 4 having a light incident surface at a back surface side and a charge transfer electrode 2 disposed at a light detection surface at an opposite side of the semiconductor substrate 4 with respect to the light incident surface, the light detection surface has an uneven surface. By the light detection surface having the uneven surface, etaloning is suppressed because lights reflected by the uneven surface have scattered phase differences with respect to a phase of incident light and resulting interfering lights offset each other. A high quality image can thus be acquired by the back-illuminated solid-state image pickup device.

A holding structure 100 for an image pickup device includes a back-incident type image pickup device 1 and a holding member 51 that holds the image pickup element 1, and the image pickup device 1 has an image pickup element 11 that performs imaging and a wiring board 12 electrically connected to the image pickup element 11. The holding member 51 is freely attachably and detachably attached to a side face 27 of the wiring board 12, at each of the opposing side faces 27a, 27a in the wiring board 12, a to-be-fitted portion 28 is formed, and the to-be-fitted portion 28 and a fitting portion 54 formed at the holding member 51 are fitted together. This relieves, even when an impact is applied to the image pickup device 1 during an inspection, delivery, etc., the impact to be applied to the wiring board 12 and the image pickup element 11 by the holding member 51 while suppressing the holding member 51 from coming off. Further, handling of the image pickup device 1 is facilitated, and an unnecessary impact to be applied to the image pickup device 1 is suppressed.

In a solid state imaging device with an electron multiplying function, in a section normal to an electron transfer direction of a multiplication register EM, an insulating layer 2 is thicker at both side portions than in a central region. A pair of overflow drains 1N is formed at a boundary between a central region and both side portions of an N-type semiconductor region 1C. Each overflow drain 1N extends along the electron transfer direction of the multiplication register EM. Overflow gate electrodes G extend from the thin portion to the thick portion of the insulating layer 2. The overflow gate electrodes G are disposed between both ends of each transfer electrode 8 in a longitudinal direction and the insulating layer 2, and they also function as shield electrodes for each electrode 8 (8A and 8B).

With this semiconductor device, the distortion and cracking of a thinned portion of a semiconductor substrate are prevented to enable high precision focusing with respect to a photodetecting unit and uniformity and stability of high sensitivity of the photodetecting unit to be maintained. A semiconductor device 1 has a semiconductor substrate 10, a wiring substrate 20, conductive bumps 30, and a resin 32. A CCD 12 and a thinned portion 14 are formed on semiconductor substrate 10. Electrodes 16 of semiconductor substrate 10 are connected via conductive bumps 30 to electrodes 22 of wiring substrate 20. Insulating resin 32 fills a gap between outer edge 15 of thinned portion 14 and wiring substrate 20 to reinforce the bonding strengths of conductive bumps 30. This resin 32 is a resin sheet that has been formed in advance so as to surround a periphery of a gap between thinned portion 14 and wiring substrate 20 except for portions of the periphery.

A CCD portion 3 is formed on a front surface side of a semiconductor substrate 1. A region of a back surface side of semiconductor substrate 1 that corresponds to CCD portion 3 is thinned while leaving peripheral regions 1a of the region, and an accumulation layer 5 is formed on the back surface side of semiconductor substrate 1. An electrical wiring 7, which is electrically connected to CCD portion 3, and an electrode pad 9, which is electrically connected to electrical wiring 7, are then formed on a region 1b of the front surface side of semiconductor substrate 1 that corresponds to a peripheral region 1a, and a supporting substrate 11 is adhered onto the front surface side of semiconductor substrate 1 so as to cover CCD portion 3 while leaving electrode pad 9 exposed. Semiconductor substrate 1 and supporting substrate 11 are then cut at a thinned portion of semiconductor substrate 1 so as to leave peripheral region 1a corresponding to region 1b at which electrical wiring 7 and electrode pad 9 are formed.
