An image reading apparatus (10) includes a photoelectric conversion
element formation substrate (4) having a plurality of photoelectric
conversion elements (2) on a reverse surface of an information reading
surface, and a supporting substrate (1) bonded by an adhesive resin (5)
to the photoelectric conversion element formation substrate (4) so that
the supporting substrate (1) is integrated with the photoelectric
conversion element formation substrate (4) and faces the plurality of
photoelectric conversion elements (2) on the photoelectric conversion
element formation substrate (4). With this arrangement, provided is a
photoelectric conversion apparatus and manufacturing method of same in
which (a) a process of bonding a micro glass sheet is not required and
(b) a protrusion of an installation portion toward a surface of a
document is eliminated.
