摘要:
A photosensitive chip, such as used in a scanner or facsimile, defines a linear array of photosites, each photosite being covered with a filter formed from a cured translucent liquid. At the critical ends of the chip, between the end photosite in the array and the edge of the chip, there is provided a ridge which protrudes over the thickness of the filter. This ridge maintains the physical integrity of the filter.

The present invention relates to electro optical devices with a reduced filter thinning on the edge pixels and a method for reducing the thinning of filter layers on the pixels closest to the edge of an electro optical device such as a photosensitive chip, as would be used, for example, in a full-color digital copier or scanner. A semiconductor wafer includes a main surface defining a plurality of chip areas and tab regions separated by grooves, wherein the chip areas include inner photosites, outer photosites and bonding pads. A plurality of dams are deposited over the main surface in the tab regions, and a clear layer is deposited over the main surface exclusive of the bonding pads. Alternatively, a clear layer is deposited over the main surface exclusive of the bonding pads, and a plurality of tabs is then deposited in the tab regions on the main surface. A first primary color filter layer is deposited over at least first inner photosite and first outer photosite, and the first primary color filter layer transmits a primary color.
摘要:
A process for separating image sensor dies and the like from a wafer in which pairs of separation grooves separating each row of dies are formed in the active side of the wafer, with the tab between each groove pair being substantially equal to the width of the dicing blade, cutting a single bottom groove in the inactive side of the wafer opposite to and spanning each pair of separation grooves, and aligning the dicing blade with the midpoint of the wall of one groove in each pair of grooves so as to cut between the rows of dies. In a second embodiment, a two-pass separation process is enabled in which the tab between separation grooves is slightly larger than the width of the dicing blade, with the dicing blade first aligned with the midpoint of one separation groove to cut one row of dies from the wafer together with part of the tab, with the blade realigned with the midpoint of the other separate groove to cut a second row of dies and the remainder of the tab.

摘要:
A wafer design and dicing technique for creating semiconductor chips from wafers. A succession of oxide layers are deposited in first and second regions of a surface of a silicon substrate. The regions are separated by a street having no oxide layers therein, and the successive oxide layers form a vertical wall with a surface normal to the surface of the silicon substrate. A shock-absorbent material is deposited in the street, forming a concave meniscus therein. The shock-absorbent material retards the trajectories of silicon particles set into motion when the wafer is diced into chips.

An assembly facilitates mounting a set of abutted semiconductor chips, such as chips aligned to form a single full-page-width linear array of photosensors in a digital scanner or copier. An elongated bead of electrically conductive adhesive extends along a surface of a support substrate. A plurality of semiconductor chips is disposed along the elongated bead, each semiconductor chip including a linear array of photosensors on a front surface thereof, and a back surface attached to the support substrate by the electrically conductive adhesive. A connection block is disposed along another portion of the elongated bead, the block including a first surface contacting the bead, a second surface, and a conductor extending from the first surface to the second surface.

摘要:
Semiconductor chips, such as photosensor arrays for a full-page-width scanner or printhead chips for a full-page-width ink-jet printer, are mounted on a substrate to maintain reasonably consistent spacing among adjacent chips. To remove a defective chip from the array, the substrate is urged evenly against a work surface defining a convex bow. Alternately, back-cuts are provided along abutting edges of the chips, and the silicon around these back-cuts can be sawed away to space defective chips from neighboring good chips.
摘要:
In a photosensitive chip suitable for full-color imaging, separate photosites on the chip correspond to different primary colors in an original image. Each primary-color photosite is filtered with a polyimide doped to a particular primary color. The red-filtering layer and the blue-filtering layer are left on the non-photosensitive portions of the main surface of the chip, and together serve as a non-reflective area which prevents stray reflections from the chip. The chip is further provided with a base layer of infrared-filtering polyimide.
