Patent ID: 8643765

Claim:
A manufacturing method of an image pick-up apparatus that includes: a solid-state image pick-up element including a substrate provided with an effective pixel area smaller than the solid-state image pick-up element and a plurality of layers including a first pattern layer and a second pattern layer, and an image pick-up lens for converging light onto the effective pixel area of the solid-state image pick-up element, the method comprising: forming the first pattern layer by a non-divisional exposure; forming the second pattern layer by a divisional exposure including a first exposure and a second exposure, such that an area of the first exposure and an area of the second exposure partially overlap, in a first direction, at a partially overlapped portion including a joint line, wherein the joint line is offset from a center position of the effective pixel area, the center position being equidistant in the first direction from outermost edges of the effective pixel area; and setting an optical axis of the image pick-up lens to be positioned at the joint line.
