A photosensitive region includes a semiconductor substrate 40 made of a
P-type semiconductor, and N-type semiconductor regions 41, 42 and 43
formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 40. Accordingly, the
first photosensitive portion includes a portion of the semiconductor
substrate 40 and the semiconductor regions 41, thus configuring a
photodiode. The photosensitive region on one side contained in the second
photosensitive region includes a portion of the semiconductor substrate
40 and the semiconductor regions 42, thus configuring a photodiode. The
photosensitive region on the other side contained in the second
photosensitive region includes a portion of the semiconductor substrate
40 and the semiconductor regions 43, thus configuring a photodiode. Each
of the semiconductor regions 42 and 43 is in a shape of an approximate
triangle, and is formed so that one side of the regions 42 is adjacent to
one side of the region 43, and vice versa, in one pixel.
