Abstract
An image-capturing element manufacturing method includes: preparing a first substrate having a plurality of pixels that are two-dimensionally continuously arrayed; preparing a second substrate having a plurality of circuit blocks that respectively have connection terminals to a power supply and a reference potential and that are electrically independent from each other, each of the plurality of circuit blocks having at least some of circuits to read out signals from the plurality of pixels; laminating the first substrate and the second substrate to electrically couple the plurality of circuit blocks and the plurality of pixels overlapping therewith; and cutting circuit blocks around at least one of the plurality of circuit blocks and pixels overlapping therewith to form a laminate in which the plurality of pixels are laminated onto the at least one of the plurality of circuit blocks.
