Patent number: 9881962Abstract: The present technology relates to a semiconductor apparatus, a solid state imaging device, an imaging apparatus and electronic equipment which realize a smaller and thinner size and which enable improvement of optical characteristics, and a manufacturing method thereof. A side electrode 16c is formed on a side face of a substrate on which an imaging device 16 is formed. By this side electrode 16c being connected to an electrode pad 15b on the substrate 15 through a chip wiring 17 formed with solder, the imaging device 16 is electrically connected to the substrate 15. By this means, because it is possible to electrically connect the imaging device 16 to the substrate 15 without using wire bonding, space required for wire bonding is not required, so that it is possible to realize a smaller and thinner apparatus. The present technology can be applied to an imaging apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2014Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Hidetsugu Otani, Yuuji Kishigami
