Process for manufacturing a resin molded image pick-up semiconductor chip having a window
First Claim
1. A process for manufacturing an image pick-up device, comprising the steps of:
- forming a protecting layer comprising a photo-sensitive material on a light-receiving region of an image pick-up chip formed on a semiconductor wafer;
separating the image pick-up chip from the wafer after forming the protecting layer;
attaching the image pick-up chip on a lead frame and connecting the leads of the lead frame to pads of the separated image pick-up chip;
sealing the chip within a chip-receiving body by molding with a resin and by using a mold having a projection, the projection extending to the protecting layer and forming a cavity over the protecting layer; and
removing the protecting layer, and sealing a transparent plate on the cavity formed by the projection.

Abstract
A process for packaging a solid type image pick-up device and a device produced by the packaging process. The process includes the steps of: forming a protecting layer on a light receiving region of an image pick-up chip formed on a semiconductor wafer; separating the image pick-up chip after forming the protecting layer; attaching the image pick-up chip on a lead frame and connecting leads of the lead frame to a pad of the separated image pick-up chip; sealing the chip within a chip-receiving body by molding with a resin and by using a mold having a projection, the projection extending to the protecting layer; and removing the protecting layer, and sealing a transparent plate on a cavity formed by the projection.

8. A process for manufacturing an image pick-up device, comprising the steps of:
-
bonding an image pick-up chip on a chip-attaching portion of a lead frame, the image pick-up chip having pads and a light-receiving region and a photo-sensitive protecting layer formed by a photo-etch process and extending over the light-receiving region but not the pads; wire-bonding the pads to leads of the lead frame; sealing the image pick-up chip within a chip-receiving body by resin-molding using a mold having a projection for contacting with the protecting layer; and sealing a transparent plate onto the cavity of the chip receiving body, the cavity corresponding to the projection. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A process for manufacturing an image pick-up device, comprising the steps of:
-
bonding an image pick-up chip on a chip-attaching portion of a lead frame, the image pick-up chip having pads and a light-receiving region; wire-bonding the pads to leads of the lead frame; sealing the image pick-up chip within a chip-receiving body by resin-molding using a mold having a projection provided with a groove, wherein the groove has a size and position that correspond to the light-receiving region, wherein the light-receiving region does not contact with the projection; and sealing a transparent plate onto the cavity of the chip receiving body, the cavity corresponding to the projection. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
