  • Publication number: 20240079440
    Abstract: A multispectral sensing device includes a first die, including silicon, which is patterned to define a first array of sensor elements, which output first electrical signals in response to optical radiation that is incident on the device in a band of wavelengths less than 1000 nm that is incident on the front side of the first die. A second die has its first side bonded to the back side of the first die and includes a photosensitive material and is patterned to define a second array of sensor elements, which output second electrical signals in response to the optical radiation that is incident on the device in a second band of wavelengths greater than 1000 nm that passes through the first die and is incident on the first side of the second die. Readout circuitry reads the first electrical signals and the second electrical signals serially out of the device.

  • Publication number: 20050012226
    Abstract: A chip package structure comprising a carrier, a chip, a plurality of passive components, a plurality of conductive wires and some insulating material is provided. The passive components are attached to the surface of the carrier with its electrodes connected to a power contact and a ground contact respectively. The conductive wires cross over the passive components with its ends connected respectively to a bonding pad on the chip and a signal contact close to the edge of the carrier. With the wires crossing over the passive components that are positioned close to a chip bonding area of the carrier, contact between the wires and the electrodes is prevented and the space for accommodating conductive wires is increased.
