  • Publication number: 20070090478
    Abstract: An image sensor package structure is proposed, in which an image sensor is fixed on a substrate having metallization traces and an adhesion layer. Electric paths of the package structure are changed from the COG (chip on glass) process to the CIS (CMOS image sensor) process to improve electric characteristics. Moreover, spacers are formed at appropriate positions to prevent glue overflow from contaminating the sensing regions and solder balls. The proposed package structure can also shrink the package area to greatly enhance the yield and quality.

  • Publication number: 20070075235
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a packaging structure of a light-sensing element with reduced packaging area, wherein the central line of the light-sensing element coincides with the central line of the substrate in order to save the area expended in the conventional technology owing to that the central line of the light-sensing region coincides with the central line of the substrate. Thereby, the overall packaging area is effectively reduced. Further, engagement portions are formed in appropriate positions, which can be used to position the lens base and the lens cone installed subsequently in order to align them to the central line of the light-sensing region.

  • Publication number: 20070075236
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a packaging method of a light-sensing semiconductor device and a packaging structure thereof, wherein a matrix of spacer walls is formed on a light-sensing wafer, which has multiple light-sensing chips, and the adhesive is directly applied to between two neighboring spacer walls on the non-light-sensing regions. Thus, when the light transparent cover is installed, there is no more adhesive dropping onto the light-sensing regions of the light-sensing chips. Further, when the light transparent cover is pressed to join with the spacer walls, with the trenches formed at the tops of the spacer walls, the adhesive will not overflow from the joint seams into the light-sensing regions.

  • Publication number: 20070063135
    Abstract: An image sensing device package structure is formed by using a base and a light transparent layer to package an image sensing device. The image sensing device is electrically connected to metallization traces on the base by means of wire bonding. Through change of the positions of the metallization traces, contacts between bonding wires and the metallization traces are made slightly higher than the top of the image sensing device, thereby shortening the wire bonding pitch of the bonding wires and thus reducing the package area.

  • Publication number: 20070057356
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20030147374
    Abstract: A method and a device for detecting a preamble type of a wireless data frame are provided The preamble has a synchronization (SYNC) field and a start frame delimiter (SFD) field, and the method comprises following steps. The wireless data frame is first received, and then determined whether the wireless data frame has a short preamble. When the wireless data frame has the short preamble, the wireless data frame is transmitted to a MAC device. In addition, if the wireless data frame does not have the short preamble, it determines whether the wireless data frame has a long preamble. When the wireless data frame has the long preamble, the wireless data frame is then transmitted to the MAC device.

  • Patent number: 6399465
    Abstract: A method of forming a triple well structure. A first photoresist layer is formed on a substrate having a first conductive type. A first ion implantation process is performed to form a first well, which has the first conductive type but a dopant concentration of the first well is higher than a dopant concentration of the substrate. The first photoresist layer is baked. A second ion implantation process is performed through the baked first photoresist layer to form a first doped region under the first well. The first doped region has a second conductive type. After removing the first photoresist layer, a second photoresist layer is formed on the substrate. A third ion implantation process is performed to form a second doped region in the substrate around the first well and to form a second well in the substrate. The second doped region and the second well have the second conductive type. The second doped region and the first doped region together surround the first well.

  • Patent number: 6101138
    Abstract: In this invention a global row redundancy scheme for a DRAM is described which effectively uses the resources of the chip to produce an area efficient design. The DRAM is constructed from two types of memory blocks, one that has a redundant cell array and one that does not. Both memory block types contain a memory cell array and bit line sense amplifiers. The bit line sense amplifiers, contained on the block with the redundant cell array, are shared with the memory cell array also contained in the block, and thus eliminating the need for sense amplifiers for use only with the redundant cell array. Although, every block could contain a redundant cell array, only one or two blocks with the redundant cell array are normally used.
