A method of manufacturing a solid-state image-taking apparatus comprising:
- placing an imaging lens configured to focus incoming light into an image on a chip of the solid-state image-taking apparatus;
- and
- forming a material having a refraction index larger than 1, between the chip and the imaging lens, and the material having the refraction index larger than 1 is formed such that it has a depth that is larger than or equal to a focal depth of the imaging lens.
A manufacturing method of a solid-state image-taking apparatus including a chip of a solid-state image-taking device and an imaging lens configured to focus incoming light into an image on the solid-state image-taking device, the manufacturing method comprising:
- forming a material of a refraction index larger than 1 between the chip and the imaging lens, and the material having the refraction index larger than 1 is formed such that it has a depth that is larger than or equal to a focal depth of the imaging lens.
A camera which includes a solid-state image-taking apparatus including a solid-state image-taking device and is used for taking an image, the camera comprising:
- an imaging lens configured to focus incoming light into an image on a chip of the solid-state image-taking device;
- and
- a material of a refraction index larger than 1, which is arranged between the chip and the imaging lens, wherein the material having the refraction index larger than 1 is arranged such that it has a depth that is larger than or equal to a focal depth of the imaging lens.
