Abstract

A solid-state image pickup device comprises a semiconductor chip, a package with a recess in which said semiconductor chip is fixed, and a transparent protective member for protecting an image pickup surface of the semiconductor chip and guiding a light image onto the image pickup surface. The transparent protective member includes a transparent resin layer for covering the image pickup surface and the upper surface of the package without forming a space therebetween, and an incident surface formed on the resin layer in parallel to the image pickup surface. A method manufactures a solid-state image pickup device having a construction described above by using a mold.
