Abstract

A sensor package structure includes a substrate, a sensor chip disposed on the substrate, a light-curing layer disposed on the sensor chip, a light-permeable layer disposed on the light-curing layer, a shielding layer being ring-shaped and disposed on an inner surface of the light-permeable layer, and a package body that is formed on the substrate. A projection region defined by orthogonally projecting the shielding layer onto a top surface of the sensor chip surrounds a sensing region of the sensor chip. A portion of the shielding layer in contact with the light-curing layer defines a ring-shaped arrangement region that has at last one light-permeable slot. The sensor chip, the light-curing layer, the light-permeable layer, and the shielding layer are embedded in the package body that exposes at least part of the light-permeable layer.
