Patent ID: 7901973

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a solid state imaging device comprising a process for separately sealing plural light receiving sections provided on a wafer and a process for dicing said wafer corresponding to said light receiving sections to make a plurality of image sensor chips, said process for separately sealing said plural light receiving sections including steps of: a process for forming plural spacers on one surface of a transparent substrate which is material of a cover glass, each said spacer corresponding to each said light receiving section; a process for joining at least one support substrate to another surface of said transparent substrate before or after said process for forming said spacers, said support substrate being material of optical plates and having coefficient of thermal expansion approximately the same as said wafer; a process for cutting off said transparent substrate on said support substrate such that portions corresponding to each said light receiving section are remained, so as to form a plurality of said cover glasses; a process for joining each said spacer to said wafer with use of a heat cure adhesive; and a process for dicing said support substrate corresponding to each said light receiving section, so as to form a plurality of said optical plates.
