Abstract

The invention provides an electric optical apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof, in which, when forming a contact hole by wet etching to control an electric potential of a light-shielding layer, etching liquid does not infiltrate the bonding boundary between a supporting substrate and a semiconductor substrate. An electric optical apparatus includes a first insulator layer formed on an underside of a semiconductor layer, a second insulator layer formed on a side lower than the first insulator layer, a light-shielding layer formed between the first insulator layer and the second insulator layer, and a contact hole passing through at least the first insulator layer to the light-shielding layer. The light-shielding layer is located at a position upper than that of the bonding boundary between a supporting substrate and a semiconductor substrate.
