SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

An imaging region (1a), in which unit pixels which include a photoelectric conversion element are arranged in a matrix shape, exists on the primary face of a solid-state imaging element (1). Peripheral circuit elements (3, 4) control the imaging operation of the solid-state imaging element (1) and process the video output signal of the solid-state imaging element (1). The imaging region (1a) is covered by a transparent material (2). The peripheral circuit elements (3, 4) are mounted on the primary face of the solid-state imaging element (1) in a region other than that of the imaging region (1a), and such that the primary faces of the peripheral circuit elements oppose the primary face of the solid-state imaging element (1).
