Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: forming a first connection terminal configured for signal transfer by electrical connection to a wiring in a top portion of a semiconductor substrate; forming a second connection terminal on a semiconductor support substrate; bonding the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor support substrate such that the first connection terminal and a second connection terminal are bonded to each other; after bonding the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor support substrate, forming a planarization layer, color filters, and microlenses on the semiconductor substrate, forming an adhesive layer on the planarization layer and an outer shell of the color filter and the microlenses, and forming a glass substrate over the color filters and microlenses, wherein the adhesive layer supports the glass substrate; after forming the glass substrate over the color filters and microlenses, forming a through via in the semiconductor support substrate exposing the second connection terminal; and filling or depositing a conductive material in the through via, the conductive material contacting the second connection terminal.
