Abstract
A solid state image pick-up device has a rigid retainer having a hollow space, a resilient plate member closing the hollow space, a charge coupled device integrated on a semiconductor chip mounted on the resilient plate member, an optical lens focusing an image on a photo-electric converting region of the charge coupled device and an actuator connected between the bottom surface of the retainer and the resilient plate member so as to deform the resilient plate member and the semiconductor chip, thereby adjusting the surface of the semiconductor chip to a focal plane.
