A solid-state imaging device which includes a color filter having
excellent color reproduction, a manufacturing method thereof and a camera
are provided.A color filter in a solid-state imaging device 1 having an
optical film thickness of approximately 1/4 of a set wavelength .lamda.,
being sandwiched by a third layer and a fourth layer which are spacer
layers in which only 3 layers are laminated and which consist of two
types of layers (first layers and a second layer) with different
refractive indexes, and further, having a structure that is sandwiched by
a film, a first layer, which has a film thickness approximately equal to
the above .lamda./4. Between the two types of layers having different
refractive indexes, the first layers are composed of high refractive
index material, and the second layer is composed of low refractive index
material. The third layer and the fourth layer have an optical film
thickness according to the light which passes through, and the material
film thickness of the entire color filter also differs for each color of
light.
