Abstract

In a solid-state image pick-up device in which a photoelectric converting section formed on a semiconductor substrate and a gate oxide film of a transfer path of a charge coupled device (CCD) which is close to the photoelectric converting section are constituted by a laminated film comprising a silicon oxide film (SiO) and a silicon nitride film (SiN), the gas oxide film has a single layer structure in which at least an end on the photoelectric converting section side of the gate oxide film does not contain the silicon nitride film.
