  • Publication number: 20100002987
    Abstract: A filter element includes a first glass substrate having a pair of parallel surfaces and a band pass filter arranged on one of the parallel surfaces, a pair of single-crystal substrates (Si wafers) each including a primary surface formed with a depression having an inclined surface with respect to the primary surface occupying at least one half of the opening of the depression, and a second glass substrate having an optical element. The primary surfaces of the single-crystal substrate pair are bonded to a pair of the surfaces of the glass substrate. The depressions are faced through the glass substrate and surround the band pass filter. By this configuration, the filter element can be mass produced with a high accuracy and a low cost by the wafer-level process.

  • Publication number: 20090180732
    Abstract: The present invention provides a junction structure between an optical element and a substrate. The junction structure is formed by supplying an under-fill resin not containing a filler to a portion functioning as a light path for light emitted from or incoming into the optical element on the substrate, then jointing a conductive bump of the optical element to electric wiring on the substrate, and then thermally hardening the under-fill resin not containing a filler to bond the resin not containing a filler to the optical element and to the substrate so that the under-fill resin containing a filler will not enter a space between the optical element and the substrate when the under-fill resin containing a filler is filled in portions other than the light path between the optical element and the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070273022
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device comprising a ceramic substrate, a surface mount component, and sealing resin and obtained by division into pieces, the ceramic substrate is composed of a multiple piece substrate provided with dividing grooves for the division into pieces on both front and rear surfaces in advance, a plurality of the surface mount components are mounted on the multiple piece substrate and sealed collectively by the sealing resin, and the substrate is divided along the dividing grooves. Further, when the shortest distance from an end on the front surface of the ceramic substrate to an end of the surface mount component is set to “a” ?m, a thickness of the ceramic substrate is set to “b” ?m, and sum of depths of the dividing grooves on the front and rear surfaces of the ceramic substrate is set to “c” ?m, a relationship of a?269×c/b+151 is established.
