  • Publication number: 20090166831
    Abstract: This invention provides a sensor semiconductor package and a method for fabricating the same. The method includes: mounting on a substrate a sensor chip having a sensor area; electrically connecting the sensor chip and the substrate by means of bonding wires; forming on a transparent member an adhesive layer with an opening corresponding in position to the sensor area; and mounting the transparent member on the substrate via the adhesive layer while heating the substrate, such that the adhesive layer melts, to thereby encapsulate the periphery of the sensor chip and the bonding wires while exposing the sensor area from the adhesive layer. Thus, the sensor area is sealed by the transparent member cooperative with the adhesive layer, making the sensor semiconductor package thus-obtained dam-free, light, thin, and compact, and incurs low process costs. Also, the product reliability is enhanced since the bonding wires are encapsulated by the adhesive layer without severing concern.

  • Publication number: 20090057799
    Abstract: A sensor semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same are provided. At least one sensor chip is mounted and electrically connected to a lead frame. A first and a second encapsulation molding processes are sequentially performed to form a transparent encapsulant for encapsulating the sensor chip and a part of the lead frame and to form a light-impervious encapsulant for encapsulating the transparent encapsulant. The transparent encapsulant has a light-pervious portion formed at a position corresponding to and above a sensor zone of the sensor chip. The light-pervious portion is exposed from the light-impervious encapsulant. Light may penetrate the light-pervious portion, without using an additional cover board, thereby reducing manufacturing steps and costs.

  • Publication number: 20080079105
    Abstract: A sensor-type package and a fabrication method thereof are provided. A sensor-type chip is mounted on a substrate and is electrically connected to the substrate via bonding wires. A light-pervious body is attached to the sensor-type chip, and has one surface covered with a covering layer and another surface formed with an adhesive layer. An encapsulant encapsulates the light-pervious body. As an adhesive force between the covering layer and the encapsulant is greater than that between the covering layer and the light-pervious body, the covering layer and a portion of the encapsulant located on the covering layer can be concurrently removed, such that the light-pervious body is exposed and light can pass through the light-pervious body to be captured by the sensor-type chip. The above arrangement eliminates the need of using a dam structure as in the prior art and provides a compact sensor-type package with improved fabrication reliability.
