Image sensor package having a wall with a sealed cover
First Claim
1. An image sensor package, comprising:
- an image sensor chip with multiple output terminals;
a printed wiring frame having at least one conductor thereon,said conductor having one end coupled to one of said output terminals, and said conductor having a second end extending to the bottom of said printed wiring frame;
a wall erected around said image sensor chip with a height taller than the height of the image sensor chip; and
a transparent cover sealed over the top of said wall.

Abstract
An image sensor chip is mounted on a printed wiring frame over a substrate, which is plated with a spider web of plated conductors connecting the IC through via holes to the bottom of the substrate as output terminals. After wiring bonding the IC to the plated conductor, the package is sealed. A wall is erected around the image sensor chip and is covered with a transparent glass. A lens may be placed in the middle of the cover for focusing. The structure is amenable to mass production. A large number of printed wiring frames are arranged as a matrix on a common substrate. The frames are sealed column by column or sealed all at once. After sealing, the common substrate are diced into individual packages. The image sensor package may mounted with integrated circuit chips as peripheral circuits. The image sensor chips may be sealed with transparent glue and the integrated circuit chip may be sealed with opaque glue.

13. A method of mass producing a multiplicity of image sensor packages on a common substrate, each having:
-
an image sensor chip with multiple output terminals, a printed wiring frame having at least one conductor thereon, said conductor having a first end coupled to one of said output terminals, and a second extending to the bottom of said printed wiring frame; a wall erected around said image sensor chip with a height taller than the height of said image sensor chip, and a transparent cover sealed over said wall, comprising the steps of; printing a large number of said printed wiring frame on said common substrate as a matrix, applying glue around each said image sensor chip to erect said wall, sealing said wall with a common said transparent cover, and dicing said common substrate into said number of said image sensor packages. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
