Patent ID: 7348532

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a solid-state image-sensing device comprising: forming a composite lead frame which is separated a lead unit from a metal substrate surface by connecting a pair of lead frames having rectangular outer frame units, lead units formed integrally with the outer frame units within the frames, and bump units formed at one surface of the outer frame units, via the bump units of the lead frames on surfaces of both ends of a long plate-shaped metal substrate, filling up a gap between the surface of the metal substrate and the lead units with insulating resin, and forming an outer frame body by molding part of the composite lead frame in such a manner as to expose the connecting units of the outer frame units and the lead unit to the outside, by supplying insulating resin to within a metal mold housing the composite lead frame, mounting a long plate-shaped solid state image sensing element on the composite lead frame with the outer frame body, and cutting off the connecting units exposed to the outside of the outer frame body.
