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 order to implement a solid-state imaging device with high photo-sensitivity that includes a light collecting part which can reduce undesired variations during manufacture and which has high light collection efficiency, the solid-state imaging device includes: a photodiode (8) which converts incident light (13) into electric charges; a convex lens layer (15) which is formed above the photodiode (8) and through which the incident light is transmitted; and a concavo-convex lens layer (11) which is formed on and around the lens layer (15) and which collects the incident light and outputs the incident light to the lens layer (15). A refractive index of the lens layer (15) is greater than a refractive index of the lens layer (11). A thickness and a width of the lens layer (15) are set to achieve a predetermined focal length for light of a predetermined wavelength range. The lens layer is made of one of boron phosphorous silicon glass, tetra ethoxy silane, benzocyclobutene, and polyimide resin.

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.

A wavelength separation filter 206 is composed of λ/4 multilayer films 302 to 304 that are sequentially laminated on a multilayer interference filter 301. The multilayer interference filter 301 is composed of two λ/4 multilayer films with a dielectric layer sandwiched therebetween. Also, the multilayer interference filter 301 is composed of parts 301B, 301G, 301R that transmit blue light, green light, and red light, respectively. The multilayer interference filter 301 wavelength-separates visible light. The λ/4 multilayer films 302 to 304 reflect light having a wavelength within wavelength ranges having set-wavelengths of 800 nm, 900 nm, and 1000 nm respectively. In other words, the λ/4 multilayer films 302 to 304 reflect near infrared light.
