Abstract
A mounting plate has an opening provided for bonding a solid-state imaging device thereto. The opening of the mounting plate comprises a first edge portion and a second edge portion. The first edge portion corresponds to a first side of part of the contour of a light receiving area of the solid-state imaging device. The second edge portion corresponds to a second side of part of the contour. The first and second edge portions function as reference lines for positioning the solid-state imaging device over said opening.
Claims6
A mounting plate having an opening provided for bonding a solid-state imaging device thereto, said solid-state imaging device having a light receiving area, comprising:
- a first edge portion that defines a first part of the periphery of said opening;
- and
- a second edge portion that defines a second part of the periphery of said opening;
- said first and second edge portions extending along a contour of said light receiving area to function as reference lines for positioning said solid-state imaging device over said opening.
Amounting plate having an opening provided for bonding a solid-state imaging device thereto, said solid-state imaging device having a light receiving area, comprising:
- first edge portions that are straight and parallel to each other, to define first parts of the periphery of said opening;
- and
- second edge portions that are straight and parallel to each other, to define second parts of the periphery of said opening, said second parts being perpendicular to said first parts;
- said first and second edge portions extending along a contour of said light receiving area to function as reference lines for positioning said solid-state imaging device over said opening.
A method for bonding a solid-state imaging device, having a light receiving area, to a mounting plate that comprises a first edge portion and a second edge portion, said first and second edge portions defining a periphery of an opening, said first and second edge portions corresponding to a contour of said light receiving area so as to function as reference lines for positioning said solid-state imaging device over said opening, said method comprising:
- providing a sub-mounting plate having the same structure as that of said mounting plate;
- sandwiching said solid-state imaging device between said mounting plate and said sub-mounting plate which are aligned with each other;
- positioning said solid-state imaging device over said opening by adjusting said reference line of said sub-mounting plate to align with said contour of said light receiving area, while keeping said mounting plate and said sub-mounting plate aligned with each other;
- and
- supplying adhesive agent to the periphery of said opening of said mounting plate, so that said solid-state imaging device is attached to said mounting plate.
