Abstract

The present technology relates to an image sensor, a manufacturing method and an electronic device capable of preventing a ghost. In the image sensor, a plate-like transparent member larger than a sensor chip in size is affixed to a side of a pixel array unit of the sensor chip having the pixel array unit in which pixels that perform photoelectric conversion are arrayed. The present technology can be applied to a case of capturing an image by receiving light, regardless of whether the light is visible light or not.

Claims (40)

1. A package, comprising:

a sensor chip having a pixel array unit in which pixels that perform photoelectric conversion are arrayed;

a plate-like transparent member provided above the pixel array unit on a second side of the sensor chip, the plate-like transparent member being larger than the sensor chip in size; and

a resin region including resin material provided around side wall portions of the sensor chip,

wherein a length in a horizontal direction of a first side of the plate-like transparent member affixed to the second side of the sensor chip is longer than a length in the horizontal direction of a second side of the plate-like transparent member.

2. The package according to claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer provided between the plate-like transparent member and the sensor chip.

3. The package according to claim 1 , wherein end portions of the plate-like transparent member extend over the side wall portions of the sensor chip.

4. The package according to claim 1 , further comprising electrodes provided on a first side of the sensor chip opposite to the second side of the sensor chip.

5. The package according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive layer affixes the plate-like transparent member with the second side of the sensor chip.

6. The package according to claim 4 , wherein the resin region includes a first side and a second side, the second side of the resin region being in contact with the plate-like transparent member and the first side of the resin region being free of the electrodes.

7. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the package is mounted by flip chip.

8. The package according to claim 1 , wherein an edge of the plate-like transparent member is coincident with an edge of the package.

9. The package according to claim 1 , wherein the resin region includes a light shielding resin having a light shielding property.

10. A package, comprising:

a glass substrate;

a supporting substrate;

a wiring layer formed over a second side of the supporting substrate;

a semiconductor substrate formed over the wiring layer and having a second side as a light-incident side and a first side opposite to the second side;

an adhesive layer between the glass substrate and the second side of the semiconductor substrate; and

a resin region including resin material provided around side wall portions of the semiconductor substrate, the wiring layer and the supporting substrate,

wherein a length in a horizontal direction of a first side of the glass substrate affixed to the second side of the semiconductor substrate is longer than a length in the horizontal direction of a second side of the glass substrate.

11. The package according to claim 10 , further comprising a lens layer provided at the second side of the semiconductor substrate.

12. The package according to claim 11 , further comprising a color filter layer provided between the second side of the semiconductor substrate and the lens layer.

13. The package according to claim 10 , wherein end portions of the glass substrate extend over the side wall portions of the semiconductor substrate, the wiring layer and the supporting substrate.

14. The package according to claim 10 , further comprising electrodes provided on a first side of the supporting substrate opposite to the second side of the supporting substrate.

15. The package according to claim 10 , wherein the adhesive layer affixes the glass substrate with the second side of the semiconductor substrate.

16. The package according to claim 10 , wherein the supporting substrate is a silicon substrate.

17. The package according to claim 14 , wherein the resin region includes a first side and a second side, the second side of the resin region being in contact with the first side of the glass substrate and the first side of the resin region being free of the electrodes.

18. The package according to claim 10 , wherein the semiconductor substrate includes a pixel array.

19. The package according to claim 10 , wherein the package is mounted by flip chip.

20. The package according to claim 10 , wherein an edge of the glass substrate is coincident with an edge of the package.

21. The package according to claim 10 , wherein the resin region includes a light shielding resin having a light shielding property.

22. A manufacturing method of a package, comprising:

affixing a plate-like transparent member to a second side of a pixel array unit of a sensor chip, the sensor chip having the pixel array unit in which pixels that perform photoelectric conversion are arrayed, the transparent plate-like member being larger than the sensor chip in size; and

forming a resin region including resin material provided around side wall portions of the sensor chip,

wherein a length in a horizontal direction of a first side of the plate-like transparent member affixed to the second side of the pixel array unit of the sensor chip is longer than a length in the horizontal direction of a second side of the plate-like transparent member.

23. The manufacturing method according to claim 22 , further comprising affixing electrodes on a first side of the sensor chip opposite to the second side of the sensor chip.

24. The manufacturing method according to claim 23 , further comprising affixing a second side of the resin region to the plate-like transparent member and maintaining a first side of the resin region to be free of the electrodes.

25. The manufacturing method according to claim 22 , wherein the resin region includes a light shielding resin having a light shielding property.

26. The manufacturing method according to claim 22 , wherein an edge of the plate-like transparent member is coincident with an edge of the resin region.
