  • Patent number: 11498831
    Abstract: A packaged micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device (100) comprises a circuitry chip (101) attached to the pad (110) of a substrate with leads (111), and a MEMS (150) vertically attached to the chip surface by a layer (140) of low modulus silicone compound. On the chip surface, the MEMS device is surrounded by a polyimide ring (130) with a surface phobic to silicone compounds. A dome-shaped glob (160) of cured low modulus silicone material covers the MEMS and the MEMS terminal bonding wire spans (180); the glob is restricted to the chip surface area inside the polyimide ring and has a surface non-adhesive to epoxy-based molding compounds. A package (190) of polymeric molding compound encapsulates the vertical assembly of the glob embedding the MEMS, the circuitry chip, and portions of the substrate; the molding compound is non-adhering to the glob surface yet adhering to all other surfaces.

  • Patent number: 11468712
    Abstract: A liveness detection device comprising a light source unit, image sensor unit, and data processing module and authentication method thereof are provided. The light source unit comprises a substrate having a first inclined surface, whereby emitted light is reflected light from the first inclined surface. An application triggers an authentication process, which is indicated to a user. The light source unit begins illumination having a specific pattern and for a specific period and image signals are generated. Liveness detection signals are generated, via calculation of interference patterns, each, from more than one image signal, in sequence, for determination of liveness. When a liveness threshold is met, feature recognition data is generated, via calculation of interference patterns, each, from more than one image signal, in sequence, for matching. Then, the features are compared with previously enrolled data for locking or unlocking of the liveness detection device and/or system coupled thereto.
