1 EP 1 942 661 B1 2 Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention [0001] The invention relates to image sensor technology and more particularly to a package module and an electronic assembly comprising an image sensor chip with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Description of the Related Art [0002] Charge coupled devices (CCD) and complementary metal oxide semiconductor CMOS image sensor devices are widely used in digital imaging applications. Image capture technology is well known to consumers due to the proliferation of devices employing image sensor devices, including digital cameras, digital video recorders, image capture capable mobile phones, and monitors. [0003] A typical image sensor device includes an array of pixel diodes, control circuitry, an analogue to digital converter, and an amplifier. Regardless of whether these devices are on the same chip as the sensor device, in the camera module or on the printed circuit board (PCB), protection against electromagnetic interference EMI resulting from electromagnetic radiation is a design challenge. If EMI protection can not be designed into a package module or electronic assembly of an image sensor device performance may suffer. US 2006/006880 A1 discloses a CCD package comprising a wafer and a glass plate adhered to a first or front face of the wafer by using an adhesive. The adhesive is formed in such a manner that it avoids the CCD sensor part formed on the first face of the semiconductor wafer. An electrode pad out of a metallic wire layer is formed on the first face of the semiconductor wafer. An input/output terminal shown as solder ball is electrically connected with the pad by means of a conductor layer that is electrically insulated from the semiconductor wafer. The conductor layer is formed on the inner wall of a penetrating hole formed immediately below the electrode pad in the semiconductor wafer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION [00] The following description is of the best-contemplated mode of carrying out the invention. This descrip- 2
3 EP 1 942 661 B1 4 20 2 30 3 40 4 0 tion is provided for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention and should not be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the invention is best determined by reference to the appended claims. [0011] Fig. 1 demonstrates an electronic assembly for an image sensor device known to the inventors. This is not prior art for the purposes of determining the patentability of the invention. This merely shows a problem founded by the inventors. [0012] As shown in Fig. 1, the electronic assembly comprises an image sensor chip scale package (CSP) module and a lens set 200 sequentially mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) 300. The CSP module comprises a device chip 4, such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor chip or CMOS image sensor chip, is interposed between lower and upper substrates 0 and 2 comprising glass, quartz or other transparent material. The device chip 4 is adhered to the lower substrate 0 via an epoxy layer 112 and is adhered to the upper substrate 2 via a spacer (or dam) 6 forming a cavity 8 therebetween. A micro-lens array (not shown) may be formed on the device chip 4 in the cavity 8. A conductive layer 1 is disposed along the sidewall and the bottom of the lower substrate 0. Typically, the conductive layer 1 on the bottom of the lower substrate 0 is patterned to form grounding pads of the CSP module and signal pads. In order to simplify the diagram, only two grounding pads 1a of the CSP module and one signal pad 1b are depicted. The conductive layer 1 over the sidewall of the lower substrate 0 laterally contact grounding pads 3 of the device chip 4 to electrically connect the grounding pads 1a of the CSP module and grounding pads 3 of the device chip 4. A protective layer 1 covers the conductive layer 1. The protective layer 1 at the bottom of the lower substrate 0 is patterned to expose the pads 1a and 1b. Solder balls 111 and 113 are respectively disposed on the corresponding pads 1a and 1 b. [0013] A lens set 200 comprising a stack of multiple lenses (not shown) is mounted on the CSP module to form a compact camera module (CCM). The CCM is mounted on the PCB 300 via solder balls 111 and 113. The solder balls 111 are electrically connected to a grounding layer 302 inside the PCB 300 through grounding pads 301 of the PCB 300 and plugs 309 thereunder. The solder ball 113 is electrically connected to the circuits (not shown) on the PCB 300 through a pad 30. [0014] In order to suppress EMI, a metal housing 2 covers the CCM and is electrically connected to the grounding layer 302 through grounding pads 303 of the PCB 300 and plugs 307 thereunder. The metal housing 2 for EMI shielding, however, increase the total volume of the CCM, thus, reducing the size and weight of the CCM is difficult. Moreover, the metal housing for EMI shielding increases manufacturing cost. The inventors have discovered that the following method for fabricating an electronic assembly for an image sensor device can integrate the semiconductor technology with EMI shielding technology without requiring use of a metal housing. [00] Accordingly, the invention relates to an electronic assembly for an image sensor device and a method for fabricating the same, capable of suppressing EMI problems without requiring use of a metal housing for EMI shielding. Fig. 2E illustrates an embodiment of an electronic assembly for an image sensor. Elements in Fig. 2E that are the same as those in Fig. 1 are labeled with the same reference numbers as in Fig. 1 and are not described again for brevity. The electronic assembly for the image sensor device comprises a CCM mounted on a PCB 300, comprising a lens set 200, a package module and an opaque conductive layer 220. Similar to the package module shown in Fig. 1, the grounding pad 3 of the device chip 4 is electrically connected to the grounding layer 302 inside the PCB 300 through the conductive layer 1, the pad 1a, the solder ball 111, the grounding pad 301 of the PCB 300 and the plug 309 formed in the PCB 300. Unlike the package module shown in Fig. 1, however, the package module shown in Fig. 2E further comprises a conductive layer 117 similar to the conductive layer 1 on a sidewall 0b of the lower substrate 0, overlying a sidewall 0a of the lower substrate 0, but is insulated from the device chip 4. That is, the conductive layer 117 is not connected to any part of grounding pad 3 of the device chip 4 or other input/output pad 119 of the device chip 4, such that the conductive layer 117 is insulated from the devices or circuits (not shown) of the device chip 4. In this embodiments, the conductive layers 1 and 117 and the pads 111, 113 and 1 comprise a single layer, respectively. In some embodiments, the conductive layers 1 and 117 and the pads 111, 113 and 1 may comprise a multi-layer structure. Typically, the multi-layer structure may comprise a plurality layers and a plurality of plugs disposed therebetween for electrical connection. [0016] Moreover, the conductive layer 117 extends to the bottom of the lower substrate 0 to form a pad 117a for electrically connecting to the grounding layer 302 through a solder ball 1 formed on the pad 117a and a grounding pad 321 of the PCB 300 and a plug 323 formed in the PCB 300. A protective layer 130a covers the conductive layer 117 and exposes a portion of the conductive layer 117 over the sidewall 0a of the lower substrate 0. The opaque conductive layer 220 is disposed on the sidewall of the lens set 200 and is electrically connected to the conductive layer 117. The opaque conductive layer 220 may, for example, extend onto the package module to directly contact the exposed portion of the conductive layer 117 over the sidewall 0a of the lower substrate 0. In this embodiment, the opaque conductive layer 220 may comprise metal or other suitable EMI shielding materials. Additionally, because the conductive layer 220 is opaque it may serve as a light-shielding layer. [0017] The opaque conductive layer 220, the conductive layer 117, the pad 117a and the solder ball 1, rather than the metal housing 2 shown in Fig. 1, serve to suppress EMI. 3
EP 1 942 661 B1 6 [0018] Figs. 2A to 2E are cross sections of an exemplary embodiment of an electronic assembly for an image sensor device. Elements in Figs. 2A to 2E that are the same as those in Fig. 1 are labeled with the same reference numbers as Fig. 1 and are not described again for brevity. As shown in Fig. 2A, a package module is provided. The package module may be fabricated by CSP, wafer level CSP or other conventional package technology. In this embodiment, the package module is preferably fabricated by CSP. The package module is similar to that shown in Fig. 1, with the arrangement of a conductive layer 117 covered by a protective layer 130 being the difference. More particularly, the conductive layer 117 over a sidewall 0a of the lower substrate 0 is insulated from the device chip 4. That is, the conductive layer 117 is not connected to a grounding pad 3 of the device chip 4 or other input/output pad 119 of the device chip 4, such that the conductive layer 117 is insulated from the devices or circuits (not shown) of the device chip 4. Moreover, the conductive layer 117 partially extends to the bottom surface of the lower substrate 0 to serve as a pad 117a. A solder ball 1 is disposed on the pad 117a for a subsequent mounting process. [0019] As shown in Fig. 2B, the protective layer 130 is partially removed by conventional lithography and etching, to leave a portion of the protective layer 130a, thus, a portion of the protective layer 117 over the sidewall 0a of the lower substrate 0 is exposed. In some embodiments, the protective layer 130 may be partially removed to expose the portion of the protective layer 117 over the sidewall 0a of the lower substrate 0 prior to formation of solder balls 111, 113 and 1. [0020] A lens set 200 is subsequently mounted on the package module, as shown in Fig. 2C. In this embodiment, the lens set comprising a stack of multiple lenses (not shown) does not use a housing or holder for mounting the lens set to the package module. [0021] As shown in Fig. 2D, an opaque conductive layer 220 is deposited on the sidewall of the lens set 200 and the sidewall of the package module to directly contact the exposed conductive layer 117 over the sidewall 0a of the lower substrate 0. Thus, a CCM is completed. In this embodiment, the opaque conductive layer 220 may comprise metal or other EMI shielding materials and serve as a light shielding layer. [0022] As shown in Fig. 2E, the CCM is electrically connected to a PCB 300. For example, the CCM is mounted on a PCB 300 through the solder balls 111, 113 and 1 formed on the CCM and the pads 301, 30 and 321 on the PCB 300 for the electrical connection. More particularly, the pad 301 is electrically connected to a grounding layer 302 inside the PCB 300 through a plug 309 for grounding the system. Moreover, the pad 321 is electrically connected to the grounding layer 302 through a plug 323 for EMI shielding. Thus, an electronic assembly for an image sensor device with EMI shielding is completed. [0023] According to the invention, since the opaque conductive layer 220, the conductive layer 117, the pad 20 2 30 3 40 4 0 117a and the solder ball 1 can be utilized, rather than the metal housing 2 shown in Fig. 1, the size and weight of the CCM can be reduced. Moreover, since the electronic assembly for an image sensor device can be fabricated without forming an additional housing or cover for EMI shielding, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. [0024] While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art).
