  • Publication number: 20170122799
    Abstract: An infrared sensor includes an infrared detecting device, a lens, a member, a gap and a spacer. The lens is disposed above the infrared detecting device. The member forms an external surface and includes a first opening having a maximum internal diameter. The gap is disposed between the member and the lens. The spacer is disposed between the member and the lens so as to form the gap, and that is directly contact with lens. The spacer has a circular inner periphery, in planar view, which has a larger internal diameter than the maximum internal diameter of the first opening of the member.

  • Patent number: 9508679
    Abstract: A mounting method of mounting chips on a substrate includes a temporarily-bonding process, and a main-bonding process. Temporarily-bonding process is to perform a first basic process, repeatedly depending on the number of the chips. First basic process includes a first step and a second step. First step is to align, on a first metal layer of the substrate, a second metal layer of each chip. Second step is to temporarily bond each chip by subjecting the first and second metal layers to solid phase diffusion bonding. Main-bonding process is to perform a second basic process, repeatedly depending on the number of the chips. Second basic process includes a third step and a fourth step. Third step is to recognize a position of each chip temporarily mounted on the substrate. Fourth step is to firmly bond each chip by subjecting the first and second metal layers to liquid phase diffusion bonding.

  • Patent number: 9478682
    Abstract: The infrared sensor includes: an infrared sensor chip in which a plurality of pixel portions each including a temperature-sensitive portion formed of a thermopile is disposed in an array on one surface side of a semiconductor substrate; and an IC chip that processes an output signal of the infrared sensor chip. A package includes a package main body on which the infrared sensor chip and the IC chip are mounted to be arranged side-by-side, and a package cover that has a lens transmitting infrared rays and is hermetically bonded to the package main body. The package is provided therein with a cover member that includes a window hole through which infrared rays pass into the infrared sensor chip and equalizes amounts of temperature change of hot junctions and cold junctions among the pixel portions, the temperature change resulting from heating of the IC chip.
