な面積に形成する必要がある。In the conventional solid-state image pickup device 1 shown in FIG. 2, bonding regions 3a and 4a for connecting the wires W are formed on the peripheral portions of the signal processing element 3 and the image pickup element 4, respectively. Therefore, the signal processing element 3 provided in the lower layer needs to be formed in a larger area than the imaging element 4 in the upper layer in order to secure an area for forming the bonding region 3a.
【0012】このため、下層に設けられた信号処理素子

という問題がある。Therefore, the area of the signal processing element 3 provided in the lower layer is defined by the area of the image pickup element 4 in the upper layer, and the area of the signal processing element 3 in the lower layer is unnecessarily large. May increase in size. When the signal processing element 3 becomes large, the cost for the signal processing element 3 rises, and the solid-state imaging device 1 itself becomes large.

消することができない。In particular, when the upper layer image pickup device 4 is a CMOS image sensor, CCD or the like, unlike the case where the image pickup device 4 is a normal memory, a microcomputer device, etc., the stacking order is changed to change the image pickup device. The signal processing element 3 cannot be stacked on the signal processing element 4. Therefore, it is impossible to solve the problem that the signal processing element 3 becomes large as the image pickup element 4 becomes large by changing the stacking order.

型化することを解消できる。On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, in the device 10 having a structure in which each element 11 is laminated in multiple layers,
Since the wire W is connected to the die bond region 11a formed in the peripheral portion of each element 11 using the space formed by the adhesive layer 13 interposed between each element 11, the structure of this device 10 is When applied to the solid-state imaging device 1 shown in FIG. 2, it is not necessary to make the area of the signal processing element 3 in the lower layer larger than the area of the imaging element 4 in the upper layer, and it is possible to prevent the device from becoming large.

Therefore, when the wire W is bonded to the respective elements 11. The tilt of each element 11 may occur. In this case, the distance between the lens 8 held by the lens holder 7 provided on the upper end of the flange 5b of the case body 5 shown in FIG. 2 and the image sensor 4 may vary.
