The invention relates to a semiconductor device (10) comprising a semiconductor element (1), particularly a solid-state image sensor (1), comprising a semiconductor body (11) of which one surface comprises an optically active part (1A) and an optically inactive part (1B) within which electrical connection regions (2) of the optoelectronic semiconductor element (1) are present, while a body (3) is present above the optically active area (1A) of the surface of the semiconductor body (11) comprising an optical component (3B). According to the invention the body (3) comprises an optically transparent foil (3) which is present on the optically active part (1A) of the surface of the semiconductor body (11) and which is attached thereto with an optically transparent adhesive layer (4) and in which the optical component (3B) is formed. The device (10) is very stable, compact and easy to manufacture, that is to say in batches. For example a component (3B) such as a lens (3B) may easily be formed by pressing a suitably formed die (13) into the foil (3). A method according to the invention for manufacturing the device according to the invention is cost-effective and easy.
