Abstract:
1. A semiconductor package comprising: a semiconductor substrate having a first main surface and a second main surface opposite to the first main surface; a solid-state imaging element formed on the first main surface of the semiconductor substrate; an electrode pad formed on the first main surface of the semiconductor substrate; a light-transmitting substrate placed on a patterned adhesive to form a hollow on the solid-state imaging element, wherein the semiconductor substrate further includes a third surface located opposite to the first main surface below the patterned adhesive, the third surface being parallel to the first and second main surfaces and a distance between the first main surface and the second main surface of the semiconductor substrate is greater than a distance between the first main surface and the third surface of the semiconductor substrate; and a through-hole electrode formed to extend through a portion of the semiconductor substrate located between the first main surface and the third surface below the electrode pad.
