ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a solid-state image pickup device including an image pickup pixel section which is provided on a semiconductor substrate and in which a plurality of pixels each having a photoelectric conversion element and a field-effect transistor are arranged, and a peripheral circuit section for the image pickup pixel section. An interconnect layer driving the field-effect transistor in the image pickup pixel section is formed on a first surface side of the semiconductor substrate. A light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion element is located on a second surface side of the semiconductor substrate. The solid-state image pickup device includes a first terminal exposed from the second surface side of the semiconductor substrate, and a second terminal electrically connected to the first terminal and connectable to an external device on the first surface side of the semiconductor substrate.
