Description

内視鏡、撮像モジュール、および撮像モジュールの製造方法Endoscope, imaging module, and imaging module manufacturing method
 本発明は、撮像素子の受光面に光学部材が接着された撮像モジュールを有する内視鏡、撮像素子の受光面に光学部材が接着された撮像モジュール、および撮像素子の受光面に光学部材が接着された撮像モジュールの製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an endoscope having an imaging module in which an optical member is bonded to the light receiving surface of the imaging element, an imaging module in which an optical member is bonded to the light receiving surface of the imaging element, and an optical member bonded to the light receiving surface of the imaging element. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an imaging module.
 半導体ウエハに多数の受光部等を形成し、切断し個片化することで平面視寸法の小さな多数の撮像素子を一括して作製できる。個片化された撮像素子の受光面には、カバーガラス等の光学部材が接着される。しかし、超小型の撮像素子の場合には、光学部材を正確に位置決めして接着することは容易ではない。 By forming a large number of light-receiving portions on a semiconductor wafer, cutting them into individual pieces, a large number of image sensors with small dimensions in plan view can be manufactured at once. An optical member such as a cover glass is bonded to the light receiving surface of the separated image sensor. However, in the case of an ultra-small image sensor, it is not easy to accurately position and bond the optical member.
 例えば、受光面が2mm×3mmで、受光部が1.5mm角の撮像素子に、1.8mm角のカバーガラスを接着する場合、面内方向の位置決め精度は0.05mm以下が要求される。さらに接着剤を硬化処理するときに接着剤の収縮により位置がずれることもある。 For example, when a 1.8 mm square cover glass is bonded to an image sensor having a light receiving surface of 2 mm × 3 mm and a light receiving portion of 1.5 mm square, positioning accuracy in the in-plane direction is required to be 0.05 mm or less. Further, when the adhesive is cured, the position may be shifted due to shrinkage of the adhesive.
 また、面内方向だけでなく、垂直方向の位置決め、すなわち、カバーガラスの裏面と撮像素子の受光面との距離および両者の平行度の正確性が要求される場合もある。 Also, not only the in-plane direction but also the vertical positioning, that is, the distance between the back surface of the cover glass and the light receiving surface of the image sensor and the accuracy of the parallelism between them may be required.
 日本国特開2002-343949号公報には、上記垂直方向の位置決めの正確性を担保するために、位置決め専用のダミーバンプを高さ調整手段として用いることが開示されている。 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-343949 discloses that dummy bumps dedicated for positioning are used as height adjusting means in order to ensure the accuracy of positioning in the vertical direction.

<第1実施形態>
 図1および図2に示すように、本実施形態の撮像モジュール1は、光学部材であるカバーガラス10と、撮像素子20と、配線板30と、を具備する。
<First Embodiment>
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the imaging module 1 of the present embodiment includes a cover glass 10 that is an optical member, an imaging element 20, and a wiring board 30.
 なお、以下の説明において、各実施の形態に基づく図面は、模式的なものであり、各部分の厚さと幅との関係、夫々の部分の厚さの比率および相対角度などは現実のものとは異なることに留意すべきであり、図面の相互間においても互いの寸法の関係や比率が異なる部分が含まれている場合がある。また、X軸、Y軸およびZ軸からなる直交座標系において、Z軸方向を上下方向とし、例えば、X軸方向をX方向という。 In the following description, the drawings based on each embodiment are schematic, and the relationship between the thickness and width of each part, the ratio of the thickness of each part, the relative angle, and the like are actual. It should be noted that there is a case where portions having different dimensional relationships and ratios are included in the drawings. In the orthogonal coordinate system including the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis, the Z axis direction is the up-down direction, and for example, the X axis direction is the X direction.
 カバーガラス10は、例えば、平面視寸法(XY面内寸法)が2mm角で厚さ(Z方向寸法)が400μmの直方体の透明部材である。透明部材は、直方体の樹脂部材でもよい。 The cover glass 10 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped transparent member having a planar view dimension (XY in-plane dimension) of 2 mm square and a thickness (Z direction dimension) of 400 μm. The transparent member may be a rectangular parallelepiped resin member.
 撮像素子20は、例えば、厚さが300μmで平面視寸法が、2.5mm×3.5mmである。撮像素子20の受光面20SAには、1.8mm角の矩形の受光部21が形成されている。受光部21の周辺部には複数のバンプ22が列設されている。複数のバンプ22は、構成(形状、大きさ、および材料)が同じである。バンプ22が配設されている電極パッド23は、図示しない配線を介して受光部21と電気的に接続されている導通端子である。 The imaging element 20 has a thickness of 300 μm and a plan view size of 2.5 mm × 3.5 mm, for example. A 1.8 mm square rectangular light receiving portion 21 is formed on the light receiving surface 20SA of the image pickup device 20. A plurality of bumps 22 are arranged in the periphery of the light receiving unit 21. The plurality of bumps 22 have the same configuration (shape, size, and material). The electrode pads 23 on which the bumps 22 are disposed are conductive terminals that are electrically connected to the light receiving unit 21 via wiring (not shown).
 配線板30は端面から突出している複数のフライングリード31を有する。フライングリード31は、リードフレームではインナーリードとも呼ばれているが、配線板30の配線の周囲の絶縁層等を選択的に剥離することにより形成される棒状の金属導体である。例えば、フライングリード31は、長さ250μm、厚さ20μm、幅50μmである。配線板30は両面配線板、多層配線板または部品内蔵配線板であってもよい。 The wiring board 30 has a plurality of flying leads 31 protruding from the end face. The flying lead 31, which is also called an inner lead in the lead frame, is a rod-shaped metal conductor formed by selectively peeling off the insulating layer around the wiring of the wiring board 30. For example, the flying lead 31 has a length of 250 μm, a thickness of 20 μm, and a width of 50 μm. The wiring board 30 may be a double-sided wiring board, a multilayer wiring board, or a component built-in wiring board.
 配線板30のフライングリード31と撮像素子20のバンプ22とは、例えば超音波接合されている。図示しないが配線板30は信号ケーブルと接合されており、撮像素子20は配線板30を介して電気信号を送受信する。 The flying lead 31 of the wiring board 30 and the bump 22 of the image sensor 20 are, for example, ultrasonically bonded. Although not shown, the wiring board 30 is joined to a signal cable, and the image sensor 20 transmits and receives electrical signals via the wiring board 30.
 カバーガラス10と撮像素子20とは透明な接着層15を介して接着されている。すなわち、光がカバーガラス10を介して受光部21に入射するように、カバーガラス10が受光部21を覆うように接着層15を介して接着されている。接着層15は例えば、紫外線硬化型樹脂であり、硬化前は液状である。なお、受光部21に複数のマイクロレンズが配設されている撮像素子の場合には、受光部21の周囲に配設された額縁状の遮光性接着層を介してカバーガラス10が接着されていてもよい。 The cover glass 10 and the image sensor 20 are bonded via a transparent adhesive layer 15. That is, the cover glass 10 is bonded through the adhesive layer 15 so as to cover the light receiving unit 21 so that light enters the light receiving unit 21 through the cover glass 10. The adhesive layer 15 is, for example, an ultraviolet curable resin and is in a liquid state before being cured. In the case of an image pickup device in which a plurality of microlenses are arranged in the light receiving unit 21, the cover glass 10 is bonded via a frame-shaped light-blocking adhesive layer arranged around the light receiving unit 21. May be.
 そして、撮像モジュール1では、カバーガラス10の側面10S1が、複数のバンプ22の側面22Sと当接している。以下、図2等に示すように、複数のバンプ22の列設方向をY方向という。Y方向は、撮像素子20の側面に平行な方向であり、受光部21の一辺に平行な方向でもある。 In the imaging module 1, the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10 is in contact with the side surfaces 22S of the plurality of bumps 22. Hereinafter, as shown in FIG. 2 and the like, the arrangement direction of the plurality of bumps 22 is referred to as a Y direction. The Y direction is a direction parallel to the side surface of the image sensor 20 and also a direction parallel to one side of the light receiving unit 21.
 例えば金からなるバンプ22は、高さが10μmから100μmの、スタッドバンプ、めっきバンプまたはボールバンプ等である。 For example, the bumps 22 made of gold are stud bumps, plating bumps, ball bumps or the like having a height of 10 μm to 100 μm.
 撮像素子20は、複数の撮像素子(CCDまたはCMOS素子)が作製された半導体ウエハを切断することで作製される。バンプ22が配設されている電極パッド23は、受光部21とともに撮像素子20を作製するときに、ウエハレベルでフォトリソグラフィ法により位置が規定されている。このため、受光部21と複数のバンプ22の相対位置は正確に規定されている。 The image sensor 20 is manufactured by cutting a semiconductor wafer on which a plurality of image sensors (CCD or CMOS elements) are manufactured. The positions of the electrode pads 23 on which the bumps 22 are disposed are defined by a photolithographic method at the wafer level when the imaging device 20 is manufactured together with the light receiving unit 21. For this reason, the relative positions of the light receiving unit 21 and the plurality of bumps 22 are accurately defined.
 撮像素子20に接着されたカバーガラス10のX方向の位置は、側面が当接している複数のバンプ22により、正確に規定されている。なお、X方向とはフライングリード31の長軸方向であるY方向と直交する方向である。以下、カバーガラス10の側面が当接しているバンプ22を、X方向位置決め用の第1のバンプ22Aという。撮像モジュール1では、全てのバンプ22が、第1のバンプ22Aである。 The position in the X direction of the cover glass 10 bonded to the image pickup device 20 is accurately defined by a plurality of bumps 22 whose side surfaces are in contact. The X direction is a direction orthogonal to the Y direction, which is the major axis direction of the flying lead 31. Hereinafter, the bump 22 with which the side surface of the cover glass 10 is in contact is referred to as a first bump 22A for positioning in the X direction. In the imaging module 1, all the bumps 22 are the first bumps 22A.
 第1のバンプ22AはX方向位置決めのためだけに配設されている部材ではない。外部接続のために従来の撮像モジュールでも必須の構成要素である導通バンプ22を、撮像モジュール1ではX方向位置決めのための第1のバンプ22Aとして用いている。言い替えれば、第1のバンプ22Aは受光部21と電気的に接続され、フライングリード31と接合されており、受光部21と配線板30とを接続する導通バンプ22の機能を有する。 The first bump 22A is not a member arranged only for positioning in the X direction. Conductive bumps 22 that are essential components in the conventional imaging module for external connection are used as the first bumps 22A for positioning in the X direction in the imaging module 1. In other words, the first bump 22 </ b> A is electrically connected to the light receiving portion 21, joined to the flying lead 31, and has a function of the conductive bump 22 that connects the light receiving portion 21 and the wiring board 30.
 導通バンプ22に加えて更に位置決めのためだけに位置決めバンプを配設する必要がないため、撮像モジュール1は製造が容易である。 Since it is not necessary to dispose positioning bumps only for positioning in addition to the conductive bumps 22, the imaging module 1 is easy to manufacture.
 さらに、カバーガラス10の側面10S1とバンプ22の側面22Sとを当接した状態で接着層15の硬化処理、例えば、紫外線照射を行うことで、カバーガラス10の位置が、硬化処理によってX方向に移動するおそれもない。 Further, by performing a curing process of the adhesive layer 15 in a state where the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10 and the side surface 22S of the bump 22 are in contact with each other, for example, ultraviolet irradiation, the position of the cover glass 10 is moved in the X direction by the curing process. There is no fear of moving.
 なお、撮像モジュール1では、カバーガラス10と撮像素子20とを接着した後に、配線板30のフライングリード31が、バンプ22と接合される。 In the imaging module 1, after the cover glass 10 and the imaging element 20 are bonded, the flying leads 31 of the wiring board 30 are joined to the bumps 22.
 すなわち、撮像モジュール1の製造方法は、光学部材と、受光部の周辺部に複数のバンプが配設されている撮像素子と、複数のフライングリードを有する配線板と、を作製する工程と、前記光学部材が、側面が前記複数のバンプのうちの2つ以上の第1のバンプの側面と当接するように位置決めされる工程と、前記位置決めされた状態で、前記光学部材と前記撮像素子との間に介在する接着剤を硬化する工程と、前記バンプと前記フライングリードとを接合する工程と、を具備する。 That is, the manufacturing method of the imaging module 1 includes the steps of manufacturing an optical member, an imaging element in which a plurality of bumps are disposed in the periphery of the light receiving unit, and a wiring board having a plurality of flying leads, A step of positioning an optical member so that a side surface thereof contacts a side surface of two or more first bumps of the plurality of bumps; and in the positioned state, the optical member and the imaging element A step of curing the intervening adhesive, and a step of bonding the bump and the flying lead.
 そして、撮像モジュール1の製造方法によれば、撮像素子20の受光面20SAにカバーガラス10が正確に位置決めして接着することが容易である。 Then, according to the method for manufacturing the imaging module 1, it is easy for the cover glass 10 to be accurately positioned and bonded to the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20.
 なお、すでに説明したように、撮像素子20は、複数の撮像素子が作製された半導体ウエハを切断することで作製される。半導体ウエハを、複数の撮像素子20が横方向(Y方向)につながった素子群に切断し、素子群に含まれるいずれかの撮像素子またはダミー撮像素子の位置決めバンプ(22A、22B、22C)を用いて、細長いカバーガラスの位置決め/接着を行い、その後、個々の撮像素子20に個片化してもよい。この製造方法では全ての撮像素子に位置決めバンプが配設されている必要はない。 As already described, the image sensor 20 is manufactured by cutting a semiconductor wafer on which a plurality of image sensors are manufactured. The semiconductor wafer is cut into an element group in which a plurality of imaging elements 20 are connected in the horizontal direction (Y direction), and positioning bumps (22A, 22B, 22C) of any imaging element or dummy imaging element included in the element group. It may be used to position / adhere the elongated cover glass and then singulate into individual image sensors 20. In this manufacturing method, it is not necessary that positioning bumps are provided on all image pickup devices.
<第1実施形態の変形例>
 次に、第1実施形態の変形例の撮像モジュールについて説明する。変形例の撮像モジュールは、撮像モジュール1と類似し同じ効果を有するので、同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し説明は省略する。
<Modification of First Embodiment>
Next, an imaging module according to a modification of the first embodiment will be described. Since the imaging module of the modification is similar to the imaging module 1 and has the same effect, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
<第1実施形態の変形例1>
 撮像モジュール1では、6個の導通バンプ22の全てが第1のバンプ22Aであった。
<Variation 1 of the first embodiment>
In the imaging module 1, all of the six conductive bumps 22 are the first bumps 22A.
 これに対して、図3に示す変形例1の撮像モジュール1Aではカバーガラス10は撮像素子20AのX方向位置決め用バンプである2つの第1のバンプ22Aとだけ当接している。カバーガラス10は、少なくとも2つの第1のバンプ22Aと当接していれば、X方向の位置が規定できる。なお、カバーガラス10と当接する2つの第1のバンプ22Aは、位置決めを容易にするために、距離が離れていることが好ましい。 On the other hand, in the imaging module 1A of Modification 1 shown in FIG. 3, the cover glass 10 is in contact only with the two first bumps 22A that are the X-direction positioning bumps of the imaging element 20A. If the cover glass 10 is in contact with at least two first bumps 22A, the position in the X direction can be defined. The two first bumps 22A that are in contact with the cover glass 10 are preferably separated from each other in order to facilitate positioning.
<第1実施形態の変形例2>
 図4に示す第1実施形態の変形例2の撮像モジュール1Bの撮像素子20Bには、導通バンプ22とは別にX方向位置決め用の2つの第1のバンプ22AA、22ABが配設されている。そして、第1のバンプ22AA、22ABはフライングリード31とは接合されていない。
<Modification 2 of the first embodiment>
In addition to the conductive bumps 22, two first bumps 22AA and 22AB for positioning in the X direction are arranged on the image pickup device 20B of the image pickup module 1B according to the second modification of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The first bumps 22AA and 22AB are not joined to the flying lead 31.
 第1のバンプ22AAは、1つの導通バンプ22とともに、フライングリード31と接合されている1つの電極パッド23の上に配設されている。すなわち、第1のバンプ22AAのために、電極パッドを配設する必要はない。一方、第1のバンプ22ABは導通バンプとは異なる電極パッドの上に配設されている。第1のバンプ22ABは受光部21とは接続されていないダミーバンプである。両者は、フライングリード31と接合されている導通バンプ22と同じ構成で撮像素子20Bの同一の受光面20SAに同時に配設されている。 The first bump 22AA is disposed on one electrode pad 23 bonded to the flying lead 31 together with one conductive bump 22. That is, it is not necessary to provide an electrode pad for the first bump 22AA. On the other hand, the first bump 22AB is disposed on an electrode pad different from the conductive bump. The first bump 22AB is a dummy bump that is not connected to the light receiving unit 21. Both are simultaneously disposed on the same light receiving surface 20SA of the image pickup device 20B with the same configuration as the conductive bump 22 joined to the flying lead 31.
 すなわち、全ての第1のバンプが、受光部21と接続されている導通バンプと同じ機能を有している必要はない。なお、カバーガラス10と当接する2つの第1のバンプ22AA、22ABは、位置決めを容易にするために、複数の導通バンプ22よりも外側に配設されていることが好ましい。 That is, it is not necessary for all the first bumps to have the same function as the conductive bumps connected to the light receiving unit 21. Note that the two first bumps 22AA and 22AB that are in contact with the cover glass 10 are preferably disposed outside the plurality of conductive bumps 22 in order to facilitate positioning.
 撮像モジュール1Bは、位置決めのための第1のバンプ22AAが電気的接続のための導通バンプ22と同時に配設でき、かつ、フライングリード31の先端とカバーガラスの側面との間に間隙があるため接合が容易である。 In the imaging module 1B, the first bump 22AA for positioning can be arranged simultaneously with the conductive bump 22 for electrical connection, and there is a gap between the tip of the flying lead 31 and the side surface of the cover glass. Easy to join.
<異形バンプ>
 なお、位置決め用の第1のバンプ22AAは、導通バンプ22と形状が異なっていてもよい。
<Deformed bump>
Note that the first bump 22AA for positioning may be different in shape from the conductive bump 22.
 例えば、図5に示す第1のバンプ22A1は、導通バンプ22よりも高さが高い。接着層15の厚さが厚く、導通バンプ22では、カバーガラス10の側面10S1を安定して当接することが容易ではない場合がある。しかし、第1のバンプ22A1は接着層15の厚さに応じて高さを設定できる。 For example, the height of the first bump 22A1 shown in FIG. In some cases, the thickness of the adhesive layer 15 is large, and it is not easy for the conductive bumps 22 to contact the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10 stably. However, the height of the first bump 22A1 can be set according to the thickness of the adhesive layer 15.
 なお、第1のバンプ22A1は、導通バンプ22と同じ構成の下段バンプを含む多段バンプであることが好ましい。バンプ22を配設するときに同時に同じ構成の第1のバンプ22A1の下段バンプが配設される。そして、下段バンプの上に上段バンプを配設することで、第1のバンプ22A1は、容易に作製できる。例えば、めっき下段バンプの上に、さらにめっき上段バンプまたはスタッド上段バンプを配設してもよいし、スタッドバンプを2段重ねて作製してもよい。 Note that the first bump 22A1 is preferably a multi-stage bump including a lower bump having the same configuration as the conductive bump 22. When the bump 22 is disposed, the lower bump of the first bump 22A1 having the same configuration is disposed at the same time. The first bump 22A1 can be easily manufactured by disposing the upper bump on the lower bump. For example, an upper plating bump or an upper stud bump may be disposed on the lower plating bump, or two stud bumps may be stacked.
 図6に示す、別の形状の第1のバンプ22A2は、導通バンプ22よりも高さが高く、上部の大きさが下部よりも大きい。例えば、第1のバンプ22A2は導通バンプ22と同じ下部バンプの上に、より大きな径の上部バンプが配設された2段バンプである。 The first bump 22A2 having another shape shown in FIG. 6 is higher in height than the conductive bump 22, and the size of the upper part is larger than that of the lower part. For example, the first bump 22A2 is a two-stage bump in which an upper bump having a larger diameter is disposed on the same lower bump as the conductive bump 22.
 カバーガラスは側面が第1のバンプ22A2の上部と当接した状態で固定される。このとき、第1のバンプ22A2の下部バンプの側面とカバーガラスの側面との間には、隙間が生じる。同様に、第1のバンプ22A2と列設されている導通バンプ22の側面とカバーガラスの側面との間には、隙間tが生じる。 The cover glass is fixed with the side surface in contact with the upper part of the first bump 22A2. At this time, a gap is generated between the side surface of the lower bump of the first bump 22A2 and the side surface of the cover glass. Similarly, a gap t is generated between the side surface of the conductive bump 22 arranged in line with the first bump 22A2 and the side surface of the cover glass.
 このため、第1のバンプ22A2を位置決めバンプとして用いた撮像モジュールは、フライングリードを導通バンプ22と接合することが、容易である。 Therefore, in the imaging module using the first bump 22A2 as the positioning bump, it is easy to join the flying lead to the conductive bump 22.
<第1実施形態の変形例3>
 図7に示すように、第1実施形態の変形例3の撮像モジュール1Cの撮像素子20Cには、X方向位置決め用の第1のバンプ22Aに加えて、Y方向位置決め用の第2のバンプ22Bが配設されている。なお、撮像モジュール1Cでは、第1のバンプ22Aは全て導通バンプ22である。
<Modification 3 of the first embodiment>
As shown in FIG. 7, the imaging element 20 </ b> C of the imaging module 1 </ b> C according to the third modification of the first embodiment includes a second bump 22 </ b> B for positioning in the Y direction in addition to the first bump 22 </ b> A for positioning in the X direction. Is arranged. In the imaging module 1 </ b> C, all the first bumps 22 </ b> A are conductive bumps 22.
 第2のバンプ22Bは、第1のバンプ22Aの列設方向(Y軸方向)に対して直交するX軸方向の線上に配設されており、受光部21の側面の外辺に配設されている。 The second bumps 22B are arranged on a line in the X-axis direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction (Y-axis direction) of the first bumps 22A, and are arranged on the outer side of the side surface of the light receiving unit 21. ing.
 そして、カバーガラス10は、導通バンプ22(22A)と当接している側面10S1と直交している側面10S2が、第2のバンプ22Bの側面と当接している。 In the cover glass 10, the side surface 10S2 orthogonal to the side surface 10S1 in contact with the conductive bump 22 (22A) is in contact with the side surface of the second bump 22B.
 撮像モジュール1Cは、第1のバンプ22Aおよび第2のバンプ22Bにより、カバーガラス10が、撮像素子20Cに対して、XYの2軸方向に位置決めされている。 In the imaging module 1C, the cover glass 10 is positioned in the XY biaxial directions with respect to the imaging element 20C by the first bump 22A and the second bump 22B.
 第2のバンプ22Bは、導通バンプの機能を有する第1のバンプ22A(22)と同じ構成で、第1のバンプ22Aと同時に配設されているため、撮像モジュール1Cは製造が容易である。 Since the second bump 22B has the same configuration as the first bump 22A (22) having the function of a conductive bump and is disposed at the same time as the first bump 22A, the imaging module 1C is easy to manufacture.
 なお、Y方向の位置決め様の第2のバンプ22Bは、Y軸方向に対して直交するX方向に、少なくとも1つ配設されていればよいが、2つ以上が側面10S2と当接するように、X方向に列設されていてもよい。 Note that at least one second bump 22B for positioning in the Y direction may be disposed in the X direction orthogonal to the Y-axis direction, but two or more are in contact with the side surface 10S2. , May be arranged in the X direction.
 撮像モジュール1Cは、撮像素子20Cの受光面20SAにカバーガラス10が、XY方向に正確に位置決めして接着されている。そして、接続用の導通バンプ22と同じ構成で、同時に作製される第1のバンプ22Aおよび第2のバンプ22Bにより位置決めが行われるため、製造が容易である。 In the imaging module 1C, the cover glass 10 is accurately positioned and adhered in the XY direction to the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20C. Since the positioning is performed by the first bump 22A and the second bump 22B that are manufactured at the same time with the same configuration as the conductive bump 22 for connection, manufacturing is easy.
 なお、第2のバンプ22Bは、第1のバンプ22A1、22A2のような異形バンプであってもよい。 Note that the second bump 22B may be a deformed bump such as the first bump 22A1, 22A2.
<第1実施形態の変形例4>
 図8に示す第2実施形態の変形例4の撮像モジュール1Dでは、カバーガラス10の側面10S2と対向している側面10S3が、撮像素子20Dの第2のバンプ22B2の側面と当接している。すなわち、カバーガラス10は、2つの側面10S2、10S3が、2つのY方向位置決め用の第2のバンプ22B、22B2で挾まれている。
<Modification 4 of the first embodiment>
In the imaging module 1D of Modification 4 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the side surface 10S3 facing the side surface 10S2 of the cover glass 10 is in contact with the side surface of the second bump 22B2 of the imaging element 20D. That is, the cover glass 10 has two side surfaces 10S2 and 10S3 sandwiched between two second bumps 22B and 22B2 for positioning in the Y direction.
 撮像モジュール1Dでは、カバーガラス10はY方向が一義的に位置決めされている。このため、カバーガラス10は正確に位置決めした状態で接着されている。 In the imaging module 1D, the cover glass 10 is uniquely positioned in the Y direction. For this reason, the cover glass 10 is bonded in an accurately positioned state.
 なお、X方向位置決め用の第1のバンプ22AAは、フライングリード31と接合されている導通バンプ22とは別である。これに対して、Y方向位置決め用の第2のバンプ22Bはフライングリード31Dが接合されている導通バンプである。 Note that the first bump 22AA for positioning in the X direction is different from the conductive bump 22 joined to the flying lead 31. In contrast, the second bump 22B for positioning in the Y direction is a conductive bump to which the flying lead 31D is joined.
 すなわち、第1のバンプ22AAおよび第2のバンプ22Bは、フライングリード31と接合されていてもよいし、いなくともよい。ただし、少なくとも1つの第1のバンプ22Aはフライングリード31と接合されている導通バンプであることが好ましい。 That is, the first bump 22AA and the second bump 22B may or may not be joined to the flying lead 31. However, it is preferable that at least one first bump 22 </ b> A is a conductive bump joined to the flying lead 31.
<第1実施形態の変形例5>
 図9および図10に示す第1実施形態の変形例5の撮像モジュール1Eの撮像素子20Eは、Z方向位置決め用の第3のバンプ22Cを有する。すなわち、カバーガラス10の裏面10SBが、他のバンプ(22、22A、22B)よりも高さの低い、3つの第3のバンプ22Cの上面と当接している。
<Modification 5 of the first embodiment>
The imaging element 20E of the imaging module 1E of Modification 5 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 has a third bump 22C for positioning in the Z direction. That is, the back surface 10SB of the cover glass 10 is in contact with the upper surfaces of the three third bumps 22C that are lower in height than the other bumps (22, 22A, 22B).
 撮像モジュール1Eは、カバーガラス10が、撮像素子20Eに対して、XYZの3軸方向に位置決めされている。 In the imaging module 1E, the cover glass 10 is positioned in the three-axis directions of XYZ with respect to the imaging element 20E.
 例えば、第3のバンプ22Cと同じ高さのバンプを配設し、その上に更にバンプを配設した多段バンプが他のバンプ(22、22A、22B)となる。 For example, a bump having the same height as the third bump 22C is disposed, and a multi-stage bump having a bump disposed thereon becomes another bump (22, 22A, 22B).
 第3のバンプ22Cの高さ、厳密には、電極パッド23の厚さを含めた高さは、接着層15の厚さとなる。また、3つ以上の第3のバンプ22CによりZ方向の位置が規定されているカバーガラス10の裏面10SBは、撮像素子20Eの受光面20SAに対して傾斜することがなく、平行度が高い。 The height of the third bump 22C, strictly speaking, the height including the thickness of the electrode pad 23 is the thickness of the adhesive layer 15. Further, the back surface 10SB of the cover glass 10 whose position in the Z direction is defined by three or more third bumps 22C is not inclined with respect to the light receiving surface 20SA of the image sensor 20E, and has high parallelism.
<第4のバンプ>
 例えば、第1のバンプ22Aの機能と第3のバンプ22Cの機能とを有する第4のバンプ22Dを用いてもよい。
<4th bump>
For example, a fourth bump 22D having the function of the first bump 22A and the function of the third bump 22C may be used.
 例えば、図11A~図11Cに示すように、バンプ22Dの上面の一部を、圧着治具29で押圧することで塑性変形する。塑性変形した下段面22SBが、カバーガラス10の裏面10SBと当接し、塑性変形した側面22Sが、カバーガラス10の側面10S1と当接する。 For example, as shown in FIGS. 11A to 11C, a part of the upper surface of the bump 22D is plastically deformed by being pressed by the crimping jig 29. The plastically deformed lower step surface 22SB contacts the back surface 10SB of the cover glass 10, and the plastically deformed side surface 22S contacts the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10.
 塑性変形加工に替えて、多段バンプを第4のバンプ22Dとして用いてもよい。また、第4のバンプ22Dが、Y方向位置決め用の第2のバンプ22BとZ方向位置決め用の第3のバンプ22Cとの機能を、兼ねていてもよい。 Instead of plastic deformation, a multi-stage bump may be used as the fourth bump 22D. Further, the fourth bump 22D may also function as the second bump 22B for positioning in the Y direction and the third bump 22C for positioning in the Z direction.
<第1実施形態の変形例6>
 図13および図14に示す第1実施形態の変形例6の撮像モジュール1Fでは、撮像素子20Fの受光面20SAに、光学部材としてレンズユニット11が接着されている。円柱形のレンズユニット11は、レンズ10Aがレンズユニット枠である枠部材10Bに固定されている。
<Modification 6 of the first embodiment>
In the imaging module 1F of Modification 6 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the lens unit 11 is bonded as an optical member to the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20F. In the cylindrical lens unit 11, the lens 10A is fixed to a frame member 10B which is a lens unit frame.
 そして、撮像素子20Fの4つの第4のバンプ22Dにより、レンズユニット11は、面内方向および垂直方向(XYZ方向)の位置、すなわち、3軸方向の位置が規定されている。なお、光学部材が円柱形の場合には、X方向位置決めバンプ(第1のバンプ22A)またはY方向位置決めバンプ(第2のバンプ22B)が2つでもXY方向の位置が規定可能である。なお、円柱形のレンズユニット11は、3つの第4のバンプ22Dにより、XYZの3軸方向の位置決めが可能である。 The lens unit 11 has a position in the in-plane direction and a vertical direction (XYZ direction), that is, a position in the triaxial direction, defined by the four fourth bumps 22D of the imaging element 20F. When the optical member is cylindrical, the position in the XY direction can be defined even with two X-direction positioning bumps (first bump 22A) or two Y-direction positioning bumps (second bump 22B). The cylindrical lens unit 11 can be positioned in the XYZ triaxial directions by the three fourth bumps 22D.
 なお、位置決めバンプは、透明部材であるカバーガラス10またはレンズユニット11の位置決めに限定されるものではなく、各種の光学部材の位置決め、例えば、レンズ、プリズム、または、カバーガラスの下に配設された額縁状のスペーサー等の位置決め等にも用いることができる。 The positioning bumps are not limited to the positioning of the cover glass 10 or the lens unit 11 that is a transparent member, but are positioned under various optical members, for example, the lens, the prism, or the cover glass. It can also be used for positioning a frame-like spacer.
 例えば、図15に示す第1実施形態の変形例7の撮像モジュール1F1では、撮像素子20Fの受光面20SAに、光学部材としてプリズム12が接着されている。また、図16に示す第1実施形態の変形例8の撮像モジュール1F2では、撮像素子20Fの受光面20SAに、光学部材としてサポートプリズムが付いているプリズム12Aが接着されている。プリズム12Aの反射面には例えば金属膜が成膜されている。サポートプリズムが付いているプリズム12Aは、プリズム12よりも取り扱いが容易である。 For example, in the imaging module 1F1 of Modification 7 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 15, the prism 12 is bonded as an optical member to the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20F. Further, in the imaging module 1F2 of Modification 8 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 16, a prism 12A having a support prism as an optical member is bonded to the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20F. For example, a metal film is formed on the reflecting surface of the prism 12A. The prism 12A with the support prism is easier to handle than the prism 12.
<第2実施形態>
 次に、第2実施形態の撮像モジュール1Gについて説明する。撮像モジュール1Gは、すでに説明した撮像モジュール1~1Gと類似し同じ効果を有するため、同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し説明は省略する。
Second Embodiment
Next, the imaging module 1G of the second embodiment will be described. Since the imaging module 1G is similar to the imaging modules 1 to 1G already described and has the same effect, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
 図17に示すように、撮像モジュール1Gでは、カバーガラス10の一の側面10S1が、複数のフライングリード31のうちのX方向位置決め用の第1のフライングリード31Aの先端面31SAと当接している。逆に言えば、カバーガラス10の側面10S1が当接しているフライングリード31を、第1のフライングリード31Aという。撮像モジュール1Gでは全てのフライングリード31が第1のフライングリード31Aである。 As shown in FIG. 17, in the imaging module 1 </ b> G, one side surface 10 </ b> S <b> 1 of the cover glass 10 is in contact with the distal end surface 31 </ b> SA of the first flying lead 31 </ b> A for positioning in the X direction among the plurality of flying leads 31. . In other words, the flying lead 31 with which the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10 is in contact is referred to as a first flying lead 31A. In the imaging module 1G, all the flying leads 31 are the first flying leads 31A.
 撮像モジュール1Gは、カバーガラス10が、撮像素子20に対して、X方向が位置決めされている。 In the imaging module 1G, the cover glass 10 is positioned with respect to the imaging element 20 in the X direction.
 撮像モジュール1Gでは、カバーガラス10の接着前に、撮像素子20の複数のバンプ22に、それぞれフライングリード31が接合される。このとき、フライングリード31の先端が、接合部よりも、例えば10μm~100μm程度、前に位置するように接合される。 In the imaging module 1G, the flying leads 31 are bonded to the plurality of bumps 22 of the imaging element 20 before the cover glass 10 is bonded. At this time, the leading end of the flying lead 31 is bonded so as to be positioned, for example, about 10 μm to 100 μm ahead of the bonding portion.
 なお、2つ以上の第1のフライングリード31Aがあれば、撮像素子20にカバーガラス10を正確に位置決めできる。 If there are two or more first flying leads 31 </ b> A, the cover glass 10 can be accurately positioned on the image sensor 20.
 複数のフライングリード31の先端は、撮像素子20の側面に平行方向(Y方向)、すなわち、受光部21の一辺に平行に列設されている。そして、フライングリード31の先端面31SAにカバーガラス10の側面10S1を当接しながら接着、硬化が行われる。 The tips of the plurality of flying leads 31 are arranged in parallel to the side surface of the image sensor 20 (Y direction), that is, in parallel to one side of the light receiving unit 21. Then, adhesion and curing are performed while the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10 is brought into contact with the front end surface 31SA of the flying lead 31.
 撮像モジュール1Gは、フライングリード31の先端位置によりカバーガラス10が、面内の一方向(X方向)の位置が正確に規定されている。また、フライングリード31は位置決めのためだけに配設されている部材ではない。外部接続のために従来の撮像モジュールでも必須の構成要素であるフライングリード31を、撮像モジュール1GではX方向位置決めのための第1のフライングリード31Aとして用いている。このため、撮像モジュール1Gは製造が容易である。 In the imaging module 1G, the position of the cover glass 10 in one direction (X direction) in the plane is accurately defined by the tip position of the flying lead 31. Further, the flying lead 31 is not a member provided only for positioning. The flying lead 31 that is an essential component in the conventional imaging module for external connection is used as the first flying lead 31A for positioning in the X direction in the imaging module 1G. For this reason, the imaging module 1G is easy to manufacture.
 さらに、カバーガラス10の側面10S1とフライングリード31の先端面とを当接した状態で接着層15の硬化処理、例えば、紫外線照射を行うことで、カバーガラス10の位置が硬化処理により移動するおそれもない。 Furthermore, when the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10 and the leading end surface of the flying lead 31 are in contact with each other, the position of the cover glass 10 may be moved by the curing process by performing a curing process of the adhesive layer 15, for example, ultraviolet irradiation. Nor.
 すなわち、撮像モジュール1Gは、撮像素子20の受光面20SAにカバーガラス10が正確に位置決めして接着されている。 That is, in the imaging module 1G, the cover glass 10 is accurately positioned and bonded to the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20.
 撮像モジュール1Gの製造方法は、光学部材と、受光部の周辺部に複数のバンプが配設されている撮像素子と、複数のフライングリードを有する配線板と、を作製する工程と、バンプとフライングリードとを接合する工程と、前記光学部材が、側面が前記複数のフライングリードのうちの2つ以上の第1のフライングリードの先端と当接するように位置決めされる工程と、前記位置決めされた状態で、前記光学部材と前記撮像素子との間に介在する接着剤を硬化する工程と、を具備する。 The manufacturing method of the imaging module 1G includes a step of manufacturing an optical member, an imaging device in which a plurality of bumps are disposed in the periphery of the light receiving unit, and a wiring board having a plurality of flying leads, and the bumps and flying. A step of bonding the lead, a step of positioning the optical member such that a side surface abuts a tip of two or more first flying leads of the plurality of flying leads, and the positioned state And a step of curing an adhesive interposed between the optical member and the imaging device.
<第2実施形態の変形例>
 次に、第2実施形態の変形例の撮像モジュール1H、1Iについて説明する。撮像モジュール1H、1Iは、撮像モジュール1Gと類似し同じ効果を有するため、同じ構成要素には同じ符号を付し説明は省略する。
<Modification of Second Embodiment>
Next, imaging modules 1H and 1I according to modifications of the second embodiment will be described. Since the imaging modules 1H and 1I are similar to the imaging module 1G and have the same effect, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
<第2実施形態の変形例1>
 図19に示す第2実施形態の変形例1の撮像モジュール1Hは、複数のフライングリード31のうちの第2のフライングリード31BがY方向(フライングリードの長軸方向)の位置決めに用いられる。第2のフライングリード31Bは、第1のフライングリード31Aよりも長く、カバーガラス10の側面10S1と直交している側面10S2が、第2のフライングリード31Bの側面と当接している。
<Modification Example 1 of Second Embodiment>
In the imaging module 1H of Modification 1 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 19, the second flying lead 31B of the plurality of flying leads 31 is used for positioning in the Y direction (the major axis direction of the flying lead). The second flying lead 31B is longer than the first flying lead 31A, and the side surface 10S2 orthogonal to the side surface 10S1 of the cover glass 10 is in contact with the side surface of the second flying lead 31B.
 撮像モジュール1Hは、カバーガラス10が、撮像素子20に対して、面内方向(XY方向)が位置決めされている。 In the imaging module 1H, the cover glass 10 is positioned in the in-plane direction (XY direction) with respect to the imaging element 20.
 撮像モジュール1Hでは、第2のフライングリード31Bは、受光部21と電気的に接続されている導通フライングリードではなく、Y方向の位置決めのための専用部材である。しかし、配線板30の製造時において、第2のフライングリード31Bは他のフライングリード31と同時に一括して作製される。このため、撮像モジュール1Hは製造が容易で、かつ、撮像素子20の受光面20SAに正確に位置決めされたカバーガラス10が接着されている。 In the imaging module 1H, the second flying lead 31B is not a conductive flying lead electrically connected to the light receiving unit 21, but a dedicated member for positioning in the Y direction. However, at the time of manufacturing the wiring board 30, the second flying lead 31 </ b> B is manufactured at the same time as the other flying leads 31. For this reason, the imaging module 1H is easy to manufacture, and the cover glass 10 that is accurately positioned on the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20 is bonded.
 なお、第2のフライングリード31Bが、受光部21の側面に配設されている高さが低い導通バンプまたはダミーバンプと接合されていてもよい。バンプと接合されている第2のフライングリード31Bは、側面位置が固定されているため、より正確にY方向の位置を規定できる。 Note that the second flying lead 31B may be bonded to a conductive bump or dummy bump having a low height disposed on the side surface of the light receiving unit 21. Since the side position of the second flying lead 31B bonded to the bump is fixed, the position in the Y direction can be more accurately defined.
 また、カバーガラス10の側面10S2と対向する側面とが、それぞれの第2のフライングリードの側面と当接していてもよい。2本の第2のフライングリードに挾まれているカバーガラス10は、一義的にY方向の配設位置が規定されている。このため、カバーガラス10は、より正確に位置決めした状態で接着されている。 Further, the side surface facing the side surface 10S2 of the cover glass 10 may be in contact with the side surface of each second flying lead. The cover glass 10 sandwiched between the two second flying leads is uniquely defined in the Y direction. For this reason, the cover glass 10 is bonded in a state where it is positioned more accurately.
<第2実施形態の変形例2>
 図20に示す第2実施形態の変形例2の撮像モジュール1Iは、撮像モジュール1Hの構成に加えて、さらにカバーガラス10の裏面10SBが、撮像素子20Iの複数のバンプ22のうちの、他のバンプ(22、22A、22B)よりも高さの低い4つのダミーバンプ22Cと当接している。
<Modification 2 of the second embodiment>
In addition to the configuration of the imaging module 1H, the imaging module 1I according to the second modification of the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 20 has a back surface 10SB of the cover glass 10 that is the other of the plurality of bumps 22 of the imaging element 20I. It is in contact with four dummy bumps 22C that are lower than the bumps (22, 22A, 22B).
 3つ以上のダミーバンプ22Cの上面と、裏面10SBとが当接しているカバーガラス10は、撮像素子20Iの受光面に対する垂直方向(Z方向)の位置が規定されており、さらに、受光面と裏面10SBとが平行に配置されている。 The cover glass 10 in which the upper surface of the three or more dummy bumps 22C and the back surface 10SB are in contact with each other has a position in the vertical direction (Z direction) with respect to the light receiving surface of the image sensor 20I. 10SB is arranged in parallel.
 撮像モジュール1Iは、撮像素子20Iの受光面20SAにカバーガラス10がXYZ方向に正確に接着されている。すなわち、撮像モジュール1HIでは、カバーガラス10が撮像素子20Iに対して、XYZの3軸方向が正確に位置決めされ接着されている。 In the imaging module 1I, the cover glass 10 is accurately adhered to the light receiving surface 20SA of the imaging element 20I in the XYZ directions. That is, in the imaging module 1HI, the cover glass 10 is accurately positioned and adhered to the imaging element 20I in the three-axis directions of XYZ.
<第3実施形態>
 次に第3実施形態の内視鏡2について説明する。
<Third Embodiment>
Next, the endoscope 2 according to the third embodiment will be described.
