  • Publication number: 20090162967
    Abstract: A method for forming a light-transmitting region comprises providing a support feature. A sacrificial layer is formed over a portion of the support feature, wherein the sacrificial layer comprises an energy-induced swelling material. A light-blocking layer is conformably formed over the support feature to cover the sacrificial layer and the support feature. The support feature, the sacrificial layer, and the light-blocking layer are subjected to an energy source to swell the sacrificial layer until bursting to thereby delaminate a portion of the light-blocking layer from the support feature and leave a light-transmitting region exposed with a portion of the support feature in the light-blocking layer. A gas flow or scrub cleaning force is provided to clean up the light-transmitting region and a top surface of the light-blocking layer remains over the support feature.

  • Publication number: 20090032893
    Abstract: An image sensor package and method for fabricating the same is provided. The image sensor package includes a first substrate comprising a via hole therein, a driving circuit and a first conductive pad thereon. A second substrate comprising a photosensitive device and a second conductive pad thereon is bonded to the first substrate, so that the driving circuit, formed on the first substrate, can electrically connect to and further control the photosensitive device, formed on the second substrate. A solder ball is formed on a backside of the first substrate and electrically connects to the via hole for transmitting a signal from the driving circuit. Because the photosensitive device and the driving circuit are fabricated individually on the different substrates, fabrication and design thereof is more flexible. Moreover, the image sensor package is relatively less thick, thus, the dimensions thereof are reduced.
