Patent ID: 7675016

Claim:
A solid-state image pickup device comprising: a substrate having a first face and a second face which serves as an opposite face of the first face; a solid-state image pickup element having a plurality of electrodes and having a light sensing part on a first face thereof, a second face of the solid-state image pickup element serving as an opposite face of the first face being bonded to the first face of the substrate via a bonding agent; a plurality of wires formed over the first face of the substrate, first ends of the wires serving as external electrode terminals; and connection means for electrically connecting the electrodes of the solid-state image pickup element to the wires, respectively, wherein a contraction frame formed of resin that is larger in thermal expansion coefficient than the substrate and the solid-state image pickup element is bonded to and formed on a surface side of the substrate located outside the light sensing part of the solid-state image pickup element so as to surround the light sensing part, and a light sensing face of the light sensing part of the solid-state image pickup element is warped.
