A microminiature CCD image pickup device with a shortened length that can be
applied
to an electronic medical endoscope or the like. Microminiature CCD image pickup
device (1) has optical glass (11), CCD chip (12), and stacked
circuit board (15) that are disposed in that order along its length orientation.
It further has TAB tape (13) that connects CCD chip (12) and the
electronic circuits mounted on stacked circuit board (15). Stacked circuit
board (15) is formed with insulated circuit board in which are packaged
electronic circuits, including their wiring pattern, stacked in stacked layers
in the diametral direction perpendicular to said length orientation, and has at
least one cavity (153) formed as an indention in the diametral direction.
At least one miniature chip component (16) is mounted in cavity (153),
and at least one chip component (17) is mounted on the surface of stacked
circuit board (15) over cavity (153). The electronic circuits are
stacked in stacked circuit board (15) and chip components (16) and
(17) are disposed in the diametral direction, so that the length of microminiature
CCD image pickup device (1) is shortened.
