A method of manufacturing a solid-state image pickup device including the steps of preparing a package including a housing section to house a solid-state image pickup element chip and an opening section in an upper section thereof, sporadically applying adhesive with a predetermined thickness on a bottom surface of the housing section, moving the solid-state image pickup element toward the housing section, an upper surface of the package and an upper surface of the element each having desired parallelism with respect to a predetermined reference surface with high precision, bringing a rear surface of the solid-state image pickup element into contact with the adhesive and stopping the movement of the element before the element comes into contact with the bottom surface of the housing section, curing the adhesive while the solid-state image pickup element is floating on the adhesive and fixing the element in the housing section. Fluctuation of resolution of the solid-state image pickup device is minimized in a light receiving plane of the element. |
