Abstract

An image pickup element includes: a semiconductor substrate including a photoelectric conversion section for each pixel; a pixel separation groove provided in the semiconductor substrate; and a fixed charge film provided on a light-receiving surface side of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the fixed charge film includes a first insulating film and a second insulating film, the first insulating film being provided contiguously from the light-receiving surface to a wall surface and a bottom surface of the pixel separation groove, and the second insulating film being provided on a part of the first insulating film, the part corresponding to at least the light-receiving surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an image pickup element having a fixed charge film on a semiconductor substrate, a method of manufacturing such an image pickup element, and electronic equipment including such an image pickup element. Background technique [0002] In a solid-state image pickup device (image pickup device), such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor and a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, a solid-state image pickup element (image pickup device) including a photoelectric conversion portion is provided for each pixel. element). The photoelectric conversion portion of the image pickup element is composed of, for example, a semiconductor material such as silicon (Si). On the surface of the photoelectric conversion portion, there are crystal defects and dangling bonds due to destruction of the crystal structure. Crystal defects and dangling bonds cause extinction due to recombination of electron-hole pai...
