Abstract: Semiconductor packages and methods of making packages are disclosed. An exemplary method includes providing a printed circuit board having a first surface with circuit traces thereon, first apertures, and a second aperture. Each circuit trace overlies a first aperture, and an end of the circuit trace is near the second aperture. Solder balls are placed in each first aperture and fused to the overlying circuit trace. A die is placed in the second aperture. Each circuit trace may include a third aperture over the first aperture. Solder from the solder ball within the first aperture fills the overlying third aperture. A second package can be stacked on a first package. Solder balls of the second package each fuse with an underlying solder ball of the first package through a third aperture of the first package. The dies of the stacked packages may be positioned for optical communication with each other.

Abstract: An image sensor package includes an image sensor having an upper surface. The image sensor further includes an active area and bond pads on the upper surface. A window is supported above the active area by a window support. Interior traces are formed on a lower surface of a step up ring. Electrically conductive bumps are formed between the interior traces on the lower surface of the step up ring and the bond pads on the upper surface of the image sensor thus flip chip mounting the step up ring to the image sensor. Electrically conductive vias extend through the step up ring to electrically connect the interior traces to exterior traces formed on an upper surface of the step up ring.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for instructing a user interface (UI) in communication with a first of vision processor (VP) to establish communication with a second (VP). The invention is useful in a machine vision system having a plurality of VPs and at least one UI. The method includes the steps of providing each VP with a link function for establishing communication between a VP and a UI; and activating the link function so as to issue instructions to the UI to establish communication with another VP. The link function enables local dynamic display of a remote VP on the UI, and a dynamic connection that provides a continually updated display representing a current state of the VP connected to the UI. An operator may observe results and alter parameters on any of the VPs in the system without having to first understand the architecture of the machine vision system.

Abstract: A digital still camera module includes an image sensor package (2) and a lens barrel (30) mounted on the image sensor package. The image sensor package includes a substrate (20), an image sensor chip (22), and a cover (28). The substrate defines a receiving chamber (203) therein. The image sensor chip mounted in the receiving chamber of the substrate. The cover, which is transparent and has a smaller profile than that of the substrate, is secured to the top portion of the substrate thereby sealing the receiving chamber. The top portion of the substrate has an uncovered section (29) at a periphery of the cover. The lens barrel includes at least one lens (31) received therein. The lens barrel is securely attached to the uncovered section of the top portion of the substrate.
