Abstract

A semiconductor device for picking up an image includes a lens-mounting unit provided with a lens for picking up an image; a semiconductor chip having a light-receiving element formed on a circuit-forming surface thereof, the light-receiving element converting light from the lens into an image signal; a flexible substrate provided between the lens-mounting unit and the semiconductor chip so as to supply the image signal to an external circuit; and a shading plate blocking light transmitting through the flexible substrate toward the semiconductor chip so as to substantially remove an influence of the light on the light-receiving element.
