Description
- This Application is based on U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/425,715, filed 23 Nov. 2016.
- The present invention relates to a package structure, particularly to an optical fingerprint sensor package.
- Typically, fingerprints have a number of features including ridges, valleys, and finer points. A finer point includes a bifurcation where a ridge is branched and an end point where the ridge ends. The fingerprint can be regarded as a unique biometric data since its characteristic distribution is different every person and two people cannot have the same fingerprints. Thus, the use of biometric data such as fingerprints in a security system may ensure efficient and accurate protection for the district that requires security, movable assets or the like.
- A fingerprint recognition apparatus for acquiring an image of the fingerprint may be classified into a semiconductor type apparatus and optical type apparatus, and an optical fingerprint recognition apparatus is widely used rather than a semiconductor fingerprint recognition apparatus. The optical fingerprint recognition apparatus includes light sources, an image sensor and a total internal reflection prism glass in which light proceeds through the incident surface of the prism, is reflected at the contact surface of the prism, and is emitted from the exit surface of the prism. When a finger is put on the contact surface of the prism, light undergoes diffused reflectance at the points where the ridges of the fingerprint are in contact with the glass. However, no light undergoes the diffused reflectance at the points where the valleys of the fingerprint are in contact with the glass. Thus, the light emitted from the exit surface of the prism exhibits the characteristics of the fingerprint. Refer to
FIG. 1 . The conventional optical fingerprint recognition package includes a supportingbase 10, anisolated base 12, afirst adhesive 14, asecond adhesive 16,LEDs 18, animage sensor 20, and atransparent colloid 22. Theisolated base 12 is located in the supportingbase 10. TheLEDs 18 are located on theisolated base 12 through thefirst adhesive 14. Theimage sensor 20 is located on the supportingbase 10 through thesecond adhesive 16. Thetransparent colloid 22 is located in the supportingbase 10 to cover theisolated base 12, thefirst adhesive 14, thesecond adhesive 16, theLEDs 18, and theimage sensor 20.

FIG. 2 andFIG. 3 . The first embodiment of the optical fingerprint sensor package of the present invention is introduced as follows. The optical fingerprint sensor package comprises acarrier 24, animage sensor 26, at least one LED (light emitting diode) 28, and amolding compound 30. For example, thecarrier 24 is a substrate or a lead frame, and theLED 28 is an infrared (IR) LED, and theimage sensor 26 is a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS). Thecarrier 24 is penetrated with afirst cavity 32. Thecarrier 24 has aperipheral region 34 surrounding thefirst cavity 32. Theperipheral region 34 is provided with firstconductive pads 36 thereon. Theimage sensor 26 is mounted in thefirst cavity 32 and electrically connected to the firstconductive pads 36 by conductive wire bonding. In the first embodiment, there is a plurality of LEDs (light emitting diodes) 28. The plurality ofLEDs 28 is mounted to correspond to theperipheral region 34 of thecarrier 24. In the first embodiment, each of the plurality ofLEDs 28 is mounted on theperipheral region 34 of thecarrier 24 through an adhesive 38 by surface-mount technology (SMT). For example, the adhesive 38 is a red glue or a silver paste. In order to prevent the side light of eachLED 28 from interfering with theimage sensor 26, the height of the bottom of eachLED 28 is higher than the height of the top of theimage sensor 26. Themolding compound 30 covers theperipheral region 34 of thecarrier 24, theimage sensor 26, and eachLED 28, and fills thefirst cavity 32 to fix theimage sensor 26 in thefirst cavity 32 and expose the bottom of theimage sensor 26 to an external space. Thecarrier 24 is not provided with any substrate thereunder. The thickness of theimage sensor 26 is similar to that of thecarrier 24. In addition, the thickness of theLED 28 is very thin. As a result, the present invention penetrates the carrier to form the cavity and places the image sensor in the cavity to decrease the thickness and volume of the optical fingerprint sensor package, such that the optical fingerprint sensor package is easily embedded in a thin panel or a thin glass cover. - Refer to

The optical fingerprint sensor package comprises acarrier 24, animage sensor 26, at least one LED (light emitting diode) 28, and amolding compound 30. For example, thecarrier 24 is a substrate or a lead frame, and theLED 28 is an infrared (IR) LED, and theimage sensor 26 is a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS). Thecarrier 24 is penetrated with afirst cavity 32. Thecarrier 24 has aperipheral region 34 surrounding thefirst cavity 32. Theperipheral region 34 is provided with firstconductive pads 36 and secondconductive pads 40 thereon and penetrated with at least onesecond cavity 42. Theimage sensor 26 is mounted in thefirst cavity 32 and electrically connected to the firstconductive pads 36 by conductive wire bonding. In the second embodiment, there are a plurality of LEDs (light emitting diodes) 28 and a plurality ofsecond cavities 42. The plurality ofLEDs 28 is mounted to correspond to theperipheral region 34 of thecarrier 24. In the second embodiment, the plurality ofLEDs 28 is respectively mounted in the plurality ofsecond cavities 42 of theperipheral region 34. In order to prevent the side light of eachLED 28 from interfering with theimage sensor 26, the height of the top of thecarrier 24 is higher than the height of the top of eachLED 28, such that thecarrier 24 blocks the side light of eachLED 28. The plurality ofLEDs 28 is electrically connected to the secondconductive pads 40 by conductive wire bonding. Themolding compound 30 covers theperipheral region 34 of thecarrier 24, theimage sensor 26, and eachLED 28, fills thefirst cavity 32 to fix theimage sensor 26 in thefirst cavity 32 and expose the bottom of theimage sensor 26 to an external space, and fills the plurality ofsecond cavities 42 to fix the plurality ofLEDs 28 in the plurality ofsecond cavities 42 and expose the bottom of the plurality ofLEDs 28 to the external space. Thecarrier 24 is not provided with any substrate thereunder. The thickness of theimage sensor 26 is similar to that of thecarrier 24. In addition, the thickness of theLED 28 is very thin. As a result, the present invention penetrates the carrier to form the cavity and places the image sensor in the cavity to decrease the thickness and volume of the optical fingerprint sensor package, such that the optical fingerprint sensor package is easily embedded in a thin panel or a thin glass cover. - In conclusion, the present invention penetrates the carrier to accommodate the image sensor, thereby reducing the thickness and volume of the optical fingerprint sensor package.
- The embodiments described above are only to exemplify the present invention but not to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent modification or variation according to the shapes, structures, features, or spirit disclosed by the present invention is to be also included within the scope of the present invention.
