The reflective surface has a light-transmissive opening that exposes a part of the transparent cover. The side wall is disposed around the carrying substrate and is located between the carrying substrate and the transparent cover. The optical grating is disposed on the carrying substrate and a position of the optical grating corresponds to the light-transmissive opening. The optical sensor is disposed on the carrying substrate and is located at a side of the optical grating, wherein the carrying substrate, the side wall and the transparent cover form a vacuum chamber. The optical grating and the optical sensor are disposed in the vacuum chamber.

  • Patent number: 8211788
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a bonding structure having compliant bumps includes first providing a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate includes first bonding pads. The second substrate is disposed on one side of the first substrate and includes second bonding pads and compliant bumps disposed thereon. The second bonding pads are opposite to the first bonding pads. Next, a non-conductive adhesive layer and ball-shaped spacers are formed between the first and the second substrates. Finally, the first substrate, the non-conductive adhesive layer, and the second substrate are compressed, such that the compliant bumps on the second bonding pads of the second substrate pass through the non-conductive adhesive layer and are electrically connected to the first bonding pads of the first substrate, respectively. The ball-shaped spacers are distributed in the non-conductive adhesive layer sandwiched between the first and the second substrates for maintaining the gap therebetween.

  • Patent number: 8164187
    Abstract: A flip chip device made using LCD-COG (liquid crystal display-chip on glass) technique. The flip chip device comprises a substrate, at least one chip having active area with a plurality of compliant bumps thereon. The compliant bumps are centrally disposed in the center of the chip for electrically connecting the chip and the substrate. An adhesive is daubed on a joint area of the substrate and the chips for jointing the substrate and the chips. By limiting the position of the compliant bumps so that they are centrally disposed on the chips, the thermal warpage of the substrate is reduced.
