  • Patent number: 7563652
    Abstract: A method for encapsulating sensor chips is disclosed. A protective layer is formed on an active surface of a sensor chip, and at least covers a sensor region in the active surface. The active surface of the sensor chip faces to a temporary carrier, so that the protective layer is attached to the temporary carrier. An encapsulant is formed on the temporary carrier to cover a back surface and side surfaces of the sensor chip. A plurality of electrically connecting components are formed in the encapsulant to electrically connect a plurality of bonding pads of the sensor chip, and then the protective layer is removed to expose the sensor region. The coverage of the protective layer is used to avoid pollution on the sensor region during encapsulating, thereby, especially in a wafer level packaging, making the package profile neat, tidy and smaller in size, and promoting production efficiency.
