Description

Reflection type optical sensor and proximity sensor
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a reflection type optical sensor and a proximity sensor.
Background
In the smartphone, a proximity sensor 601 is used as shown in fig. 7. In the proximity sensor 601, a light-emitting element 602 and a light-receiving element 603 are integrally sealed on a substrate 604 with a mold resin 605. The proximity sensor 601 is disposed under the glass panel 606 of the smartphone. The light emitted from the light emitting element is radiated to the outside through the glass panel, and the light reflected from the face, the ear, or the like is detected to return to the light receiving element through the glass panel again, thereby controlling on/off of the touch panel screen.
An LED using infrared light having a wavelength of 940nm is generally used as a light Emitting element, but a vcsel (vertical Cavity Surface Emitting laser) of a Surface Emitting laser having a narrow pointing angle and a reduced driving current has been increasingly used recently. The VCSEL is a component that is translated as a vertical resonator surface emitting laser, and emits a minute laser beam in a direction perpendicular to the substrate. The light-receiving element is manufactured by a CMOS process in which a photodiode 607 for converting light into an electric signal and a circuit for amplifying the photoelectric-converted signal are formed on the same semiconductor substrate. A light emitting element and a light receiving element are die bonded (die attach) on a substrate 604, electrically connected by an Au wire (not shown), and then resin-sealed by transfer molding, thereby manufacturing a proximity sensor.
Japanese patent No. 4220219 discloses generation of return light excitation noise in an optical displacement meter using a vertical resonator surface emitting laser.
Further, in fig. 9 and paragraph [0006] of japanese patent No. 6641469, it is disclosed that the light emitted from the proximity sensor is reflected to the case.
Disclosure of Invention
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing behavior of light emitted from the light-emitting element 501. The light 502 emitted from the light emitting element 501 passes through the glass panel of the smartphone and is emitted to the outside as transmitted light 503.
The light 502 is emitted from the light emitting element 501 directly upward in the vertical direction of the substrate, and the transparent mold resin is emitted from the surface of the mold resin toward the glass panel. The surface of the mold resin on which the outgoing light 502 is emitted is referred to as a "package outgoing surface", and similarly, the surface of the mold resin directly above the photodiode on which the light receiving element detects light is referred to as a "package light receiving surface". The package light-emitting surface and the package light-receiving surface are formed into a plane parallel to the substrate by a mold.
The emitted light is partially reflected and scattered at the interfaces between the package (package emission surface) and the space (air) and between the space (air) and the glass panel due to the difference in refractive index. The light emitted from the light emitting element is roughly divided into internal scattered light 506, reflected scattered light 504, reflected return light 505, and transmitted light 503. It is generally considered that about 5% of the glass is a reflection component due to a difference in refractive index between the glass and air.
As described above, in recent years, as a light emitting element, the use of a VCSEL as a surface emitting laser has increased as compared with an LED. When a VCSEL is used, the reflected return light 505 causes a problem of fluctuation in light emission characteristics. Since the VCSEL is an element that oscillates laser light, reflected return light from the glass panel is coupled to the VCSEL emission end, thereby generating "optical feedback noise" that destabilizes the oscillation operation of the VCSEL itself. As a result, as shown in fig. 8, the waveform of the emitted light fluctuates and becomes a noise component in the sensing, and thus a problem occurs in that the detection accuracy is lowered.
Further, regarding the reflected scattered light and the internal scattered light, a component toward the light receiving element side also becomes a noise component with respect to the reflected signal light from the detection object, and thus a problem occurs in that detection accuracy is lowered.
An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to suppress noise caused by light emitted from a light-emitting element in a reflective photosensor.
Technical solution for solving technical problem
In order to solve the above problem, a reflective optical sensor according to an aspect of the present invention includes: a light emitting element and a light receiving element mounted on the same substrate in the same direction; and a package covering the light emitting element and the light receiving element, a surface of the package including: an emission surface located on a light emission side of the light emitting element; and a light receiving surface located on a light receiving side of the light receiving element, the light receiving surface being parallel to the substrate, the light emitting surface being provided obliquely to the light receiving surface.
Advantageous effects
According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the reflective photosensor, noise caused by light emitted from the light-emitting element can be suppressed.

Detailed Description
The present invention relates to a reflective optical sensor for detecting the presence or absence of an object using infrared light. In particular, a smart phone is often used as a proximity sensor for controlling on/off of a screen in order to prevent a malfunction of a touch panel during a call.
[ first embodiment ]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, the light components reflected from the glass panel and the emission surface are controlled by the structure of the emission surface of the package disposed directly above the light-emitting element.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a reflection type photosensor according to the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the reflective photosensor 1 includes a substrate 10, a light-emitting element 11, a light-receiving element 12, and a package 7. The light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 are mounted on the same substrate 10 in the same direction. The package 7 covers the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12. The light receiving element 12 has a photodiode 13 arranged in parallel with the substrate 10.
The surface of the package 7, i.e., the package surface 71 includes: a package emission surface (emission surface) 72 located directly above (on the light-emitting side) the light-emitting element 11; and a package light-receiving surface (light-receiving surface) 73 located directly above (on the light-receiving side) the light-receiving element 12.
The package light-receiving surface 73 is disposed parallel to the substrate 10. Thus, the package light-receiving surface 73 can efficiently input light to the photodiode 13 of the light-receiving element 12.
The package emission surface 72 is provided obliquely to the package light reception surface 73. Thus, the light emitting element 11 emits light 102 which is bent outward (leftward) in the optical axis direction at the interface between the package emission surface 72 and the air, and the reflection angle of the internal scattered light 106 is also changed downward.
As described above, in the reflective photosensor 1, the component scattered on the surface of the light receiving element 12 can be suppressed. Further, although the outgoing light 102 having an optical axis curved at the package interface is reflected at the interface with the glass panel, the reflected return light 105 advances in a direction away from the light-emitting element 11 due to the reflection angle. Therefore, return light reflected by the light emitting element 11 can be prevented, and variation in light emission characteristics can be avoided.
In other words, the reflected return light 105 reflected from the glass panel toward the light-emitting element 11 is prevented, the emission waveform is stabilized, and the influence of the reflected scattered light 104 from the glass panel and the internal scattered light 106 from the package emission surface 72 is suppressed. This can suppress the optical noise component from entering the light receiving element 12, and realize the reflective optical sensor 1 that operates stably. By using such a reflective optical sensor 1, a highly accurate proximity sensor for a smartphone can be provided.
In fig. 1, the package emission surface 72 is inclined toward the light receiving element 12, but the package emission surface 72 may be inclined outward (opposite to the light receiving element 12). According to the latter configuration, the light reflected by the glass panel and returned to the light emitting element 11 in the light 102 emitted from the light emitting element 11 is prevented, and thus, variation in light emission characteristics can be avoided.
[ second embodiment ]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be explained below. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the above-described embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will not be repeated.
In the present embodiment, assuming the first embodiment, in the reflective photosensor 1, the package light-emitting surface 72 is provided to be inclined toward the light-receiving element 12 side at an angle of 10 ° to 15 ° with respect to the package light-receiving surface 73.
Fig. 9 is a diagram showing the result of optical simulation of the amount of return light to the light emitting surface when the inclination angle of the package emission surface 72 is changed in the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 9, the return light can be made substantially zero at an inclination angle of 10 ° or more, but if the inclination angle is too large, the optical axis exiting from the package 7 is also largely bent, and therefore the optical gain of the entire photodetection system decreases. That is, when the inclination angle is increased, the amount of light irradiated to the detection target object is decreased, and the detection characteristic is degraded due to the decrease in the signal. Therefore, if the design is made in consideration of the influence on the detection characteristics, 15 ° becomes the upper limit value of the practical tilt angle. Therefore, the inclination angle is preferably 10 ° to 15 ° in consideration of the mounting accuracy tolerance.
As shown in fig. 2, the opening windows 201 and 202 may be provided in the package light emission surface 72 and the package light reception surface 73. The opening windows 201 and 202 are configured to have a thin resin shape on the package surface 71 directly above the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 and to have good light transmission.
When the opening window 201 for emitting light is provided, the surface of the mold resin from which light is emitted is the bottom surface of the opening window 201, and therefore the bottom surface of the opening window 201 becomes the package emission surface 72.
[ third embodiment ]
A third embodiment of the present invention will be explained below. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the above-described embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will not be repeated.
In the present embodiment, in the reflection type photosensor 1, the opening window 201 of the package emission surface 72 and the opening window 202 of the package light receiving surface 73 are integrally formed by transfer molding. The package light emission surface 72 and the package light reception surface 73 are polished. The package surface 71 other than the package light emission surface 72 and the package light reception surface 73 is processed to attenuate light scattering.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the reflection type photosensor 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, an opening window 201 for emitting light is provided on the package light emission surface 72 of fig. 1, and an opening window 202 for receiving light is provided on the package light reception surface 73 of fig. 1 by transfer molding, and resin sealing molding is performed. Next, the light-emitting aperture window 201 and the light-receiving aperture window 202 are polished to suppress scattering loss of the emitted light and the reflected signal light. The other package surface 71 is processed to be in a state of attenuating light scattering.
A part of the light emitted from the light emitting element 11 is reflected by the glass panel and returned to the package 7 as reflected scattered light 204. By scattering and attenuating the reflected and scattered light on the surface of the package, the influence of the reflected and scattered light on the internal light receiving element can be suppressed.
Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a state after the package molding of the present embodiment. After molding with the same molding resin, the open windows 201, 202 are ground. This can suppress light scattering loss as compared with the state of the package surface 71 around the opening windows 201 and 202.
[ fourth embodiment ]
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be explained below. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the above-described embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will not be repeated.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the reflection type photosensor 1 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the reflection type photosensor 1 further includes a step slit 301 between the package light emission surface 72 and the package light reception surface 73 on the package surface 71, as compared with fig. 2. The step slit 301 is formed by a mold metal die.
The reflected and scattered light 302 is reflected and scattered on the package surface 71, but a part thereof is transmitted into the mold, and becomes a noise light component toward the photodiode 13 of the light receiving element 12. By forming the step slit 301 on the optical path, an interface between the molding resin and the air, at which the noise light component is reflected and scattered, is increased.
The step slit 301 can prevent the return of the reflected scattered light 302 from the glass panel and the internal scattered light 303 from the light emitting element 11 inside the package 7 to the photodiode 13 of the light receiving element 12. The position and depth of the stepped slit 301 are designed by simulating the incident angle of the reflected scattered light 302 and the optical path of the internally scattered light 303. In this case, the stepped slit 301 can be formed with high accuracy by using a mold die.
[ fifth embodiment ]
A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be explained below. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the above-described embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will not be repeated.
In the present embodiment, with respect to fig. 4, the light blocking member 404 is applied to the entire surface of the stepped slit 401. Further, the light blocking member 404 may be embedded in a recess of the stepped slit 401.
Fig. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the reflection type photosensor 1 of the present embodiment. As shown in fig. 5, a light shielding member 404 is added to the stepped slit 401. Thus, in fig. 5, the optical noise component that has passed through the air surface of the stepped slit 301 and has been directed toward the photodiode 13 of the light receiving element 12 is blocked without being transmitted, and can be further prevented from being wrapped around the photodiode 13 of the light receiving element 12. An additional method of the light-shielding member 404 can be formed by applying a light-shielding resin to the stepped slit 401 and curing the resin. Further, by performing double transfer molding using a light-shielding resin, uniform molding can be performed with high accuracy.
[ sixth embodiment ]
The sixth embodiment of the present invention will be explained below. For convenience of explanation, members having the same functions as those described in the above-described embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will not be repeated.
In the present embodiment, the light Emitting element 11 is formed of a Surface Emitting laser vcsel (vertical Cavity Surface Emitting laser), and the current narrowing layer 905 of the light Emitting element 11 is formed by an implantation method.
Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional structure of the VCSEL light-emitting element according to the present embodiment. The VCSEL oscillates laser light in the vertical direction, and emits the laser light from the surface. Light emitted at the active layer 903 is amplified in the upper and lower reflective mirrors P-DBR904 and N-DBR 902. The bias current is applied from the upper electrode to the lower electrode, and current narrowing layers 905 and 906 are provided to concentrate the current on the light emitting region of the active layer.
As methods for forming the current constriction layers 905 and 906, there are two methods, an implantation method by proton implantation from above and an oxide film method by oxidation by water vapor from the lateral direction. The inventors confirmed the following through experiments: in the case of using the implanted VCSEL, as return light tolerance characteristics in returning light to the VCSEL light emitting portion, it is easier to ensure stable operation with respect to reflected return light than in the oxide film method.
This is because the H is implanted+In the implantation method in which ions restrict a current path, in multi-mode competition which is a factor of return light noise of the VCSEL, optical loss is large in the transverse multi-mode which acts at a higher order.
The proximity sensor uses the reflective optical sensor 1 according to any one of the first to sixth embodiments of the present invention. This can suppress the influence of the reflected return light and the reflected scattered light from the glass panel, and hence can stabilize the detection characteristics with respect to the glass panel mounting conditions of the user.
