Imaging device
An imaging device includes an image sensing device provided on a semiconductor substrate; a transparent member provided on a light-receiving area of the image sensing device; and a circuit element provided on the transparent member, wherein the image sensing device and the circuit element are electrically coupled to each other.
1. An imaging device comprising:
an image sensing device provided on a semiconductor substrate;
a transparent member provided on a light-receiving area of the image sensing device; and
a circuit element provided on the transparent member,
wherein the image sensing device and the circuit element are electrically coupled to each other,
wherein the transparent member includes a thick portion having a first thickness that corresponds to a thickness of the light-receiving area, and a thin portion having a second thickness smaller than the first thickness, and
wherein the circuit element is provided on the thin portion.
2. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein an upper portion of the circuit element is lower than an upper surface of the thick portion of the transparent member.
3. The imaging device according to claim 2 , wherein a resin material for sealing the circuit element is provided on the thin portion.
4. The imaging device according to claim 3 , wherein the resin material is lightproof.
5. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein a side face of the thick portion is inclined so that an angle formed between an upper surface of the thick portion and the side face of the thick portion is obtuse.
6. The imaging device according to claim 1 , wherein the side face of the thick portion includes a first face provided perpendicularly to an upper surface of the thick portion and above the thin portion, and a second face provided at an obtuse angle to the upper surface of the thick portion and is continuous with the first face.
