An image-capturing unit includes: an image-capturing chip; a power supply circuit unit that outputs electrical power to be fed to the image-capturing chip; a power supply line that feeds electrical power from the power supply circuit unit to the image-capturing chip; a disconnecting unit that is provided to the power supply line and is electrically disconnecting the power supply circuit unit and the image-capturing chip when a leakage current of the image-capturing chip is measured; and an implementation substrate on which the power supply circuit unit, the image-capturing chip, the power supply line and the disconnecting unit are implemented.

Image-capturing unit and image-capturing apparatus

An imaging unit comprising an imaging chip and a mounting substrate that has the imaging chip mounted thereon and includes a first metal layer for outputting a signal generated by the imaging chip to the outside.

Imaging unit and imaging apparatus

A substrate comprises: a first insulating layer; a second insulating layer having an elastic modulus that is different from an elastic modulus of the first insulating layer; and a core layer that is sandwiched by the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer, and is more rigid than the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer.

Substrate, imaging unit and imaging device

An image-capturing unit includes; an image-capturing chip; a power supply circuit unit that outputs electrical power to be fed to the image-capturing chip; a power supply line that feeds electrical power from the power supply circuit unit to the image-capturing chip; a disconnecting unit that is provided to the power supply line and is electrically disconnecting the power supply circuit unit and the image-capturing chip when a leakage current of the image-capturing chip is measured; and an implementation substrate on which the power supply circuit unit, the image-capturing chip, the power supply line and the disconnecting unit are implemented.

A mark position detection apparatus includes: an illumination unit that illuminates a substrate having a mark formed thereupon; an image-capturing unit that captures an image of the substrate by using reflected light from the substrate and outputs image signals; a storage unit at which information related to fixed pattern noise contained in the image signals output by the image-capturing unit is stored in memory; and a control unit that calculates a position of the mark on the substrate based upon the information related to the fixed pattern noise stored in memory at the storage unit and the image signals output from the image-capturing unit.
