  • Publication number: 20080213980
    Abstract: A process applied to grinding, dicing, and/or stacking semiconductors is disclosed. One of its features is that after transparent material is stuck on its active surface, a semiconductor is ground from another surface thereof to become thinner, then take advantage of transparency of the transparent material to cut the transparent material and the semiconductor, to obtain at least one smaller semiconductor unit such as die or chip. Another feature is that the transparent material remains sticking to the active surface of the die by an adhesion layer until the die is attached to a carrier or another die, and then the transparent material and the adhesion layer are removed by taking advantage of a function of the adhesion layer: receiving a ray to lose adhesion between it and the active surface. Preferably the ray reaches the adhesion layer via the transparent material stuck on the active surface of the die.

  • 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.
