Solid-state imaging apparatus and manufacturing method thereof

A solid-state imaging apparatus and a manufacturing method of a solid-state imaging apparatus are provided. Metal wirings 102 and 103 are formed in an effective pixel region A and out-of effective pixel region B of a semiconductor substrate 100, and an etch stop layer 118 is formed over the metal wirings 102 and 103. Moreover, an insulating film 119 is formed on the etch stop layer 118, and another metal wiring 104 is formed on the insulating film 119 in the out-of effective pixel region B. Next, the insulating film 119 in the effective pixel region A is removed by using the etch stop layer 118, and interlayer lenses 105 are formed in the step in the effective pixel region A where the insulating film 119 is removed.
