Abstract

An image sensor multi-chips package structure, includes a first package including a first chip with image sensors having first bonding pads and micro lens on a first active surface, a first die receiving window and first conductive inter-connecting through holes penetrated from a first upper contact pads on a first upper surface of the first chip to a first lower contact pads on a first lower surface of the first chip, wherein a first upper build up layer on the active surface of the first chip coupling from the first bonding pads to the first upper contact pads; a second package comprising a second chip having second bonding pads on a second active surface, a second die receiving window and second conductive inter-connecting through holes penetrated from a second upper contact pads of a second upper surface of the second chip to a second lower contact pads on a second lower surface of the second chip, wherein a second upper build up layers on the second upper surface for coupling from the second bonding pads to the second upper contact pads, and second lower build up layers under the second lower surface for coupling from the second lower contact pads to terminal pads located under the second lower surface; and inter-connecting structures coupled between the first lower contact pads to the second upper contact pads.

Claims (22)

1. An image sensor multi-chips package structure, comprising:

a first package comprising a first chip with image sensors having first bonding pads and micro lens on a first active surface, a first die receiving window and first conductive inter-connecting through holes penetrated from a first upper contact pads on a first upper surface of said first chip to a first lower contact pads on a first lower surface of said first chip, wherein a first upper build up layer on said active surface of said first chip except said micro lens and coupling from said first bonding pads to said first upper contact pads;

at least a second package comprising a second chip having second bonding pads on a second active surface, a second die receiving window and second conductive inter-connecting through holes penetrated from a second upper contact pads of a second upper surface of said second chip to a second lower contact pads on a second lower surface of said second chip, wherein a second upper build up layers on said second upper surface for coupling from said second bonding pads to said second upper contact pads, and second lower build up layers under said second lower surface for coupling from said second lower contact pads to terminal pads located under said second lower surface; and

inter-connecting structures coupled between said first lower contact pads to said second upper contact pads.

2. The structure of claim 1 , an air gap is created between said first package and said second package.

3. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising solder balls/bumps formed under said second package.

4. The structure of claim 3 , wherein the materials of said soldering balls/bumps include lead-free compositions.

5. The structure of claim 1 , wherein said second chip includes DSP, ASIC, motor driver device.

6. The structure of claim 1 , wherein said first, second upper and lower build up layers include at least one conductive line.

7. The structure of claim 6 , further comprising dielectric layers formed over said at least one conductive lines of said first, second upper and lower build up layers include at least one conductive line.

8. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising core material (substrate) formed adjacent to said first and second chips.

9. The structure of claim 8 , wherein the material of said substrate includes BT, PI, FR4, FR5, PCB, silicon, ceramic, glass, metal, or alloy.

10. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising a transparency material adhered on the top of said first upper build up layer of said first package by adhesion glue.

11. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the materials of said transparency material includes glass, crystal or plastic with high transparency property.

12. The structure of claim 10 , a gap is generated between said image sensor and said transparency material.

13. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising adhesion material to adhere between the edge, back side of said first and second chips and the side wall of said first and second die receiving windows.

14. The structure of claim 1 , further comprising an isolating layer with water/oil repellency on top of micro lens of said image sensor.
