SOLID STATE IMAGING DEVICE METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME SOLID STATE IMAGING UNIT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND IMAGING APPARATUS

PURPOSE: To center the optical axis of a lens and the center of an image pickup surface of a solid-image pickup element, and to position a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens and the image pickup surface of the solid-state image pickup element in parallel both with high precision and small man-hours without using a position adjusting jig. CONSTITUTION: Projection areas (reference surfaces 223a, 223b) at the same height with a mount surface 222 where the solid-state image pickup element 21 is mounted are provided on both sides and on the reference surfaces 223a and 223b. Reference holes 22a to 22d for positioning and fixing a lens barrel 3 tapered for positioning are provided at four places. On the reverse surface of a rectangular-plate shaped member of the lens barrel 3, positioning pins 33a and 33c which project downward are formed as pin members which face the reference holes 22a and 22c in a diagonal direction of a package 22 and can freely be fitted in the reference holes 22a and 22c. 고체상태 촬상장치는 패키지 기판; 및 패키지 기판상에 탑재된 고체상태 촬상소자를 포함한다. 이 패키지 기판은 상기 고체상태 촬상소자가 탑재되어지는 장착면을 보유한다. 이 패키지 기판은, 장착면으로부터 양방향으로 돌출한, 장착면과 동일한 높이의 2개의 기준면을 갖는다. 기준면내에는, 그 중심들이 고체상태 촬상소자의 촬상면의 중심으로부터 동일한 거리만큼 이격되어 있도록 한 쌍 이상의 위치결정 기준구멍이 형성되어져 있다.
