Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a photoelectric conversion device, comprising: a bonding process in which a first member and a second member are bonded to each other to prepare a composite member, the first member including a first semiconductor wafer on which a plurality of photoelectric conversion element groups are arranged and a first film including an insulator layer and provided on a front surface of the first semiconductor wafer, and the second member including a second semiconductor wafer on which a plurality of semiconductor device groups are arranged and a second film including an insulator layer and provided on a front surface of the second semiconductor wafer, the first member and the second member are bonded with the first film and the second film being disposed between the first semiconductor wafer and the second semiconductor wafer: a first thinning process in which, after the bonding process, the first semiconductor wafer of the composite member is thinned from a back surface side of the first semiconductor wafer; and a second thinning process in which, after the first thinning process, the second semiconductor wafer of the composite member is thinned from a back surface side of the second semiconductor wafer, wherein the thickness of the second semiconductor wafer after the second thinning process is greater than the distance between the back surface of the first semiconductor wafer after the first thinning process and the front surface of the second semiconductor wafer.
