Method of making photoelectric conversion device

A photoelectric conversion apparatus having a thin plate glass wear-resisting layer is formed on photoelectric conversion devices, drive circuit and signal lines. An original document is disposed on the wear-resisting layer to confront the photoelectric conversion devices. Light is emitted from a light source disposed to confront the light transmissive substrate on the side opposing the original document, transmitted through a light transmissive substrate and applied to the original document. Reflected light from the original document is received by the photoelectric conversion devices so that electric signals transmitted from the photoelectric conversion devices can be read out through the signal lines. A protection layer is made of an inorganic thin film and formed on at least the photoelectric conversion devices, the drive circuit and the signal lines; a shock-absorbing layer made of an organic film is disposed at least between an end portion of the wear-resisting layer and the light transmissive substrate.

A photosensor array includes a plurality of common electrodes and a plurality of separate electrodes disposed facing the common electrodes, both electrodes being disposed on a substrate, wherein the electrical connection terminals for the common electrodes are disposed collectively on a marginal portion along the array disposal direction on the substrate.

Photosensor array having grouped electrodes

A method of producing a photosensor having a photoconductive layer and a pair of electrodes provided through an ohmic contact layer on the same surface of the photoconductive layer for applying a voltage to the photoconductive layer. The method comprises the steps of: forming an insulating layer on one surface of the photoconductive layer except at portions where the pair of electrodes is to be formed; forming a layer of an ohmic contact layer forming material on the insulating layer; forming a layer of an electrode forming material on the layer of an ohmic contact layer forming material; and removing the electrode forming material except at the portions where the pair of electrodes is to be formed, and the ohmic contact layer forming material.

Method of producing photosensor

A method of forming a pattern on a surface of a workpiece. The workpiece surface is coated with photoresist. Part of the coated workpiece surface is exposed and developed to form an alignment mark. An unexposed portion of the photoresist coated workpiece surface is then exposed, developed and etched.

Pattern forming method

An optical reader includes a read-out section, driver circuit section, and wiring section for connecting the read-out section and the driver circuit section, wherein the read-out section and wiring section are respectively formed on separate substrates.
