Method for producing solid-state imaging device

摘要

A method for producing a solid-state imaging device including a base of an insulation material having a frame form in planar shape with an aperture formed in an inner region thereof and having a substantially uniform thickness; a wiring provided on one surface of the base and extending toward the outside from the peripheral portion of the aperture; and an imaging element mounted on the surface of the base provided with the wiring so that a light-receptive region of the element faces the aperture. Cavities for resin-molding a plurality of the bases are formed and a tape member supporting thin metal plate leads for forming a plurality of sets of wirings corresponding to the respective bases is loaded between molds having pins for forming positioning holes of the base; and the thin metal plate leads are placed in the cavities. Then, a sealing resin is filled in the cavities and cured. A resin molded member, in which the thin metal plate leads are embedded, is taken out; and the tape member is removed from the resin molded member, and the resin molded member is divided into a plurality of pieces on which an imaging element is mounted. The base on which the imaging element is mounted can be formed to have a practically sufficient flatness.
