A printed wiring board and a method for manufacturing the printed wiring board in which widths of a first and a second circuit are close to each other and substantial miniaturization can be achieved. In order to achieve this object, a first circuit and a second circuit having different thicknesses are formed in the same reference plane by etching a metal-clad laminate including a conductive layer and an insulating layer. The thicker of the circuits has a clad-like configuration in which three layers, a first copper layer/a different kind of metal layer/a second copper layer, are sequentially stacked. The manufacture of the printed wiring board includes a clad composite material in which three layers of a first copper layer/a different kind of metal layer/a second copper layer are sequentially stacked as a start material, and selective etching characteristics between the layers are utilized.

An image pickup apparatus comprising an array of unit cells, vertical signal lines, and a control circuit. The unit cells are arranged in rows and columns. Each unit cell has a light-receiving device for receiving light and generating an electric charge corresponding to the light, a charge-accumulating section for accumulating the electric charge generated by the light-receiving device, a transfer device for transferring the electric charge from the light-receiving device to the charge-accumulating section, and a charge-limiting device for limiting the electric charge accumulated in the charge-accumulating section. The vertical signal lines extend along the columns of unit cells, respectively, each for receiving a electric data item corresponding to the electric charge accumulated in the charge-accumulating section of any unit cell of the associated column. The control circuit controls each of the unit cells, causing the charge-limiting device to limit the charge generated by the light-receiving device during a first period and transferred to the charge-accumulating section through the transfer device. The charge generated by the light-receiving device during a second period following the first period and transferred to the charge-accumulating section through the transfer device is added to the electric charge accumulated in the charge-accumulating section.

A solid-state image sensor which includes a pixel section, AD converter, line memory, controller and synthesizer is disclosed. The line memory stores a digital signal output from the AD converter. The controller controls the pixel section and AD converter to subject analog signals of different exposure times to an AD converting process by use of the AD converter and transfer the thus AD-converted signals to the line memory in an accumulation period of charges of one frame. The synthesizer is supplied with digital signals of different exposure times from the line memory, compare a fist signal obtained by adding signals of short and long exposure times with a second signal obtained by amplifying the signal of short exposure time by the ratio of the signal of short exposure time to the signal of long exposure time, select a larger one of the compared signals and output the selected signal.

An adhesive-free multilayered metal laminate having a given thickness which is obtained by bonding a metal sheet having a thin metal film on a surface thereof to a metal foil without using an adhesive; and a process for continuously producing the laminate. The process comprises the steps of; setting a metal sheet on a reel for metal sheet unwinding; setting a metal foil on a reel for metal foil unwinding; unwinding the metal sheet from the metal sheet-unwinding reel and activating a surface of the metal sheet to thereby form a first thin metal film on the metal sheet surface; unwinding the metal foil from the metal foil-unwinding reel and activating a surface of the metal foil to thereby form a second thin metal film on the metal foil surface; and press-bonding the activated surface of the first thin metal film to that of the second thin metal film so that the first thin metal film formed on the metal sheet is in contact with the second thin metal film formed on the metal foil.

A multilayer printed wiring board having a wiring lead-out port has a signal circuit conductor perfectly covered by an earth circuit in its inside and a wiring lead-out port. A signal circuit conductor having a branch pattern is preferable. A large number of products can be easily manufactured with good size reproducibility. The multilayer printed wiring board is manufactured by selectively etching the copper of a cladding sheet manufactured by bonding a copper foil to a nickel foil with 0.1-3 % reduction and forming a signal circuit conductor covered by an earth circuit and the wiring lead-out port.

In a solid state image sensor device comprising a cell area wherein unit cells each having photoelectric diodes are arranged in a matrix form on a semiconductor substrate, the cell area being composed of a photo-sensitive pixel region for sensing an image, and an optical black pixel region for defining an optical black level, and a vertical shift register for selecting the unit cells of the image sensing cell array, in a group along each of horizontal lines, and vertical signal lines, each of which reads each of signals from the unit cells selected by turning on an address register by means of the vertical shift register, the vertical signal lines in the optical black pixel region are connected with each other through a wiring. Since the vertical signal lines in the optical black pixel region are connected with each other by a wiring, even if outputs from an optical black pixel region vary in the pixels, the outputs are made averaged and uniform and a variation in fixed pattern noises between the horizontal lines are reduced.

Thus, a clad plate (34) for forming an interposer for a semiconductor device is manufactured. The clad plate (34) is selectively etched to form a columnar conductor (17), and an insulating layer (13) is formed on the copper foil material forming a wiring layer (10). A bump (18) for connection of a semiconductor chip and the wiring layer (10) are formed on the opposite side to the side on which the columnar conductor (17) is formed. Thus, an interposer for a semiconductor device is manufactured.
