Abstract

A method for manufacturing an image sensor includes the steps of: providing a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface; mounting a frame layer on the upper surface of the substrate to form a cavity together with the substrate; mounting a photosensitive chip, which is formed with a plurality of bonding pads, to the upper surface of the substrate, the photosensitive chip being located within the cavity; providing a plurality of wires to electrically connect the bonding pads of the photosensitive chip to the substrate; supplying an adhesive medium to the cavity; placing a transparent layer on the frame layer to cover the photosensitive chip so as to form the image sensor; and rotating the image sensor to make the adhesive medium be uniformly distributed over the upper surface of the substrate so that particles within the cavity are adhered to the adhesive medium.

Claims (13)

1. A method for manufacturing an image sensor, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface;

mounting a frame layer on the upper surface of the substrate to form a cavity together with the substrate;

mounting a photosensitive chip, which is formed with a plurality of bonding pads, to the upper surface of the substrate, the photosensitive chip being located within the cavity;

providing a plurality of wires to electrically connect the bonding pads of the photosensitive chip to the substrate;

supplying an adhesive medium to the cavity;

placing a transparent layer on the frame layer to cover the photosensitive chip so as to form the image sensor; and

rotating the image sensor to make the adhesive medium be uniformly distributed over the upper surface of the substrate so that only a portion of each of the wires is encapsulated by the adhesive medium, the other portion of each of the wires and the bonding pads of the photosensitive chip are exposed, and particles within the cavity are adhered to the adhesive medium.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the substrate is formed with a plurality of first connection points, and the plurality of wires electrically connects the bonding pads of the photosensitive chip to the first connection points, respectively.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step for rotating the substrate after the adhesive medium is supplied to the cavity.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive medium is supplied to the cavity by way of coating or spraying.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive medium, which is uniformly distributed over the upper surface of the substrate, is lower than the photosensitive chip.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive medium is supplied to a location on the upper surface of the substrate between the frame layer and the wires in the step of supplying the adhesive medium to the cavity.
