Abstract

A solid-state imaging apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a pixel region where a photoelectric conversion element is arranged, a first insulating film having a first opening portion which is over the photoelectric conversion element, a first insulator comprising a first portion arranged in the first opening portion, and a second portion covering an upper surface of the first portion and an upper surface of the first insulating film, a second insulating film having a second opening portion which is over the first opening portion, and a third portion arranged in the second opening portion. A hydrogen concentration of the second portion is higher than a hydrogen concentration of the first insulating film. An upper surface area of the first portion is larger than a lower surface area of the third portion which is over the first portion.
