Patent ID: 8421207

Claim:
A semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second surface at an opposite side thereof, the first surface having an active layer with a light-receiving part; an adhesive layer provided to surround the light-receiving part on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate; a light-transmissive protective member disposed above the light-receiving part of the semiconductor substrate with a predetermined gap and adhered via the adhesive layer; and plural external connection terminals arranged in a matrix on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate, wherein each center point of the external connection terminals on two facing lines is positioned inside of an area of the adhesive layer projected on the second surface (hereinafter, referred to as a projected area of the adhesive layer), and each center point of the external connection terminals other than the external connection terminals on the two lines is positioned outside of the projected area of the adhesive layer, among the outermost external connection terminals.
