Abstract
Both a sensor portion and a signal processing portion are provided on a glass board. The sensor portion is formed by subjecting a conductive layer to the patterning process. A gold coupling layer is provided on the conductive layer and the signal processing portion is formed by the flip chip method on the coupling layer. The sensor portion and the signal processing portion may be formed on the major surface and the rear surface of the glass board and these portions may be coupled by through holes. Since the signal processing portion as well as the sensor portion is formed on the glass board, the wiring distance can be made shorter and the entire size of the sensor can be miniaturized.
