Abstract:
An image sensing device includes an interconnect layer and a number of grid array contacts arranged on a bottom side of the interconnect layer. An image sensor integrated circuit (IC) is carried by the interconnect layer and has an image sensing surface. A number of electrical connections are coupled between the image sensor IC and an upper side of the interconnect layer. A transparent plate overlies the image sensing surface of the image sensor IC. A cap is carried by the interconnect layer and has an opening overlying transparent plate and the image sensing surface. The cap has an upper wall spaced above the interconnect layer and the image sensor IC to define an internal cavity and the cap defines an air vent coupled to the internal cavity.
Abstract:
One or more embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a chip scale package camera module that includes a glass interposer between a lens and an image sensor. In some embodiments, the glass interposer is made from one or more layers of optical quality glass and includes an infrared filter coating. The glass interposer also includes electrically conductive paths to connect the image sensor, mounted on one side of the glass interposer, with other components such as capacitors, which may be mounted on a different side of the glass interposer, and the rest of the camera system. The conductive layers include traces and vias that are formed in the glass interposer in areas away from the path of light in the camera module, such that the traces and vias do not block the light between the lens and the image sensor.
Abstract:
An image sensing device may include an interconnect layer and grid array contacts carried by the interconnect layer, and an image sensor IC carried by the interconnect layer and coupled to the grid array contacts, the image sensor IC having an image sensing surface. The image sensing device may include a transparent plate carried by the image sensor IC and aligned with the image sensing surface, and a cap carried by the interconnect layer and having an opening aligned with the image sensing surface. The cap may have an upper wall spaced above the interconnect layer and the image sensor IC to define an internal cavity, and the cap may define an air vent coupled to the internal cavity.
