Abstract

A method of designing an optimum mask pattern for forming a metal line by an etching process, the metal line also effectively serving as a light-shielding layer, is provided. In this method, assuming that a mask pattern for forming a first metal line on a transparent insulating film has a width of “L1” overlapped with a first control electrode in a direction perpendicular to an array direction of of transfer elements, “L1” is selected so as to satisfy the following relation L1>(S+dS)+a, wherein “S” is the distance of side etching of the first metal line, “dS” is the dispersion of the distance of the side etching, and “a” is the misalignment of the mask pattern.
