Patent number: 7297918Abstract: An image sensor package structure and an image sensing module are proposed. A substrate, a frame and a light transparent layer are used to package an image sensing chip to form the image sensor package structure. The frame is mounted on the substrate and located around the image sensing chip. The top of the frame extends toward the image sensing chip and upwards to form a locking and placing portion with an L-shaped cross section. Bend positions of the locking and placing portion form a placement space formed to accommodate and position the light transparent layer.

Patent number: 7282788Abstract: In an image sensing chip package structure, plated through vias penetrate a substrate to electrically connect metallization traces disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate. The plated through vias can be opened from the center of the substrate instead of being located at the periphery of the substrate. Contamination can thus be avoided during the glue dispensing process, and protection layers can also be used to seal gaps generated by the plated through vias, hence enhancing the producing yield. Moreover, protection layers having stickiness can further be used to secure components so as to reduce the production cost and enhance the product quality.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2005Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Sigurd Microelectronics Corp.Inventor: Po-Hung Chen
