Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an imaging device by fixing an imaging device chip with a light receiving surface on a substrate, said method comprising the steps of: (a) exposing said light receiving surface through an exposure opening formed in said substrate; (b) making chip terminals provided on said imaging device chip contact with substrate terminals provided on said substrate; (c) aligning said imaging device chip so that said imaging device chip is in parallel to said substrate, while melting said chip terminals and said substrate terminals; (d) stopping melting said chip terminals and said substrate terminals, whereby said chip terminals are welded to said substrate terminals; (h) attaching a dustproof member around said light receiving surface; and (i) elastically deforming said dustproof member when said chip terminals come into contact with said substrate terminals, and said dustproof member filling a gap between said imaging device chip and said substrate.
