Abstract

A manufacturing method forms a photoelectric conversion device having a photoreceiving portion provided in a substrate and an interlayer film arranged over the substrate. The method includes forming a layer of a lower etching rate rather than the interlayer film so that the layer of the lower etching rate covers a whole surface of the photoreceiving portion, forming the interlayer film over the layer of the lower etching rate, etching a portion of the interlayer film corresponding to the photoreceiving portion to form a hole penetrating through the interlayer film and reaching the layer of the lower etching rate, and disposing in the hole a material of a higher refractive index rather than the interlayer film.
