Original Abstract Submitted
A semiconductor device that comprises, on a substrate, a pixel region where a plurality of pixels are arranged, and a monitor region is provided. In the pixel region, a plurality of lenses are arranged on an underlayer such that the underlayer is not exposed, and in the monitor region, a plurality of monitor lenses are arranged on the underlayer. The plurality of monitor lenses include a pair of monitor lenses arranged such that the underlayer is not exposed between two monitor lenses adjacent to each other, and a pair of monitor lenses arranged with an exposed portion where the underlayer is exposed between two monitor lenses adjacent to each other.
