Abstract

An image sensor module with air escape hole includes a substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface. A chip is mounted on the upper surface of the substrate. A plurality of wires are electrically connected the chip to the upper surface of the substrate. An adhered layer is coated on the upper surface of the substrate. A lens holder is mounted on the upper surface of the substrate by the adhered glue, and formed with a top wall, a lateral wall, and an internal thread, wherein the top wall is formed with an air escape hole. A lens barrel is formed with an external thread screwed on the internal thread of the lens holder. And a filled glue is filled within the air escape hole of the lens holder.

Claims (30)

1. An image sensor module with air escape hole, the module comprising:

a substrate having an upper surface, which is formed with first electrodes, and a lower surface, which is formed with second electrodes corresponding to electrically connect to the first electrodes;

a chip mounted on the upper surface of the substrate, the chip having a sensor region and a plurality of bonding pads located at the side of the sensor region;

a plurality of wires electrically connected the bonding pads of the chip to the first electrodes of the substrate;

an adhesive layer coated on the upper surface of the substrate;

a lens holder mounted on the upper surface of the substrate by the adhesive layer, and formed with a top wall, a lateral wall, and an internal thread, the top wall formed with an air escape hole;
