A solid-state image pickup device comprises: a plurality of photoelectric
converting films stacked via an insulating layer, the photoelectric
converting films being above a semiconductor substrate in which a signal
read circuit is formed, in which each of the photoelectric converting
films is sandwiched between a pixel electrode film and an opposing
electrode film, wherein the pixel electrode film of an upper one of the
photoelectric converting films is connected to the signal read circuit by
a longitudinal line passing through a lower one of the photoelectric
converting films, and, in the longitudinal line, a passing portion which
passes through the lower photoelectric converting film is formed by
filling an opening with a conductive material, the opening being formed
from a same plane of the pixel electrode film stacked on the lower
photoelectric converting film to an upper end face of the insulating
layer stacked above the photoelectric converting film.
