本发明是有关于一种堆叠式光学感测封装体,且特别是有关于一种将发光元件堆叠在感光芯片上的堆叠式光学感测封装体。
现今的智能电话、平板计算机或其他手持装置搭配有光学模块,例如光学深度感测器(例如飞行时间(Time Of Flight,TOF)感测器),来达成手势检测、三维(3D)成像、近接检测或相机对焦等功能。操作时,光学深度感测器向场景中发射近红外光,利用光的飞行时间信息,测量场景中物体的距离。光学深度感测器的优点是深度信息计算量小,抗干扰性强,测量范围远,因此已经渐渐受到青睐。
光学深度感测器的核心组件包含:光源,例如是红外线垂直共振腔面射激光(Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser,VCSEL);光感测器,例如是单光子雪崩二极管(Single Photon Avalanche Diode,SPAD);和时间至数字转换器(Time to Digital Converter,TDC)。光学深度感测器中的VCSEL向场景发射脉冲波,SPAD接收从待测物体反射回来的脉冲波,TDC记录发射脉冲和接收脉冲之间的时间间隔,可以利用飞行时间计算待测物体的深度信息。
图1显示一种传统的TOF光学感测模块300的示意图。如图1所示,TOF光学感测模块300包含一帽盖(cap)310、一发光单元320、一感测器芯片330及一基板350,譬如是印刷电路板。基板350上通过粘胶材料设置发光单元320及感测器芯片330。发光单元320及感测器芯片330电连接至基板350。感测器芯片330上形成有至少一参考像素331及至少一感测像素341。帽盖310具有一发射窗314及一接收窗312,并且设置于基板350的上方,以将基板350上的发光单元320及感测器芯片330容置于帽盖310的一腔室315中。发光单元320发出测量光L1通过发射窗314到达物体(未显示),感测像素341通过接收窗312接收物体反射的感测光L3。测量光L1被帽盖310反射后产生参考光L2朝参考像素331行进。借由计算感测像素341与参考像素331收到光线的时间差,可以换算成距离信息。
在上述的光学感测模块300中,单一发光单元320与单一感测器芯片330是先通过传统的取放(pick and place)方式并排设置于基板350上,再通过打线351而将感测像素 341、参考像素331及发光单元320电连接至基板350,以便后续可以从基板350的一侧拉出电连接点到电路板(未显示)。然后,使用封装胶352来固定打线351。接着,将帽盖310组装至基板350上。因为用取放方式设置感测像素341、参考像素331及发光单元320,故很容易在生产时产生放置时的误差(例如几十微米)。再者,在组装帽盖310时,接收窗312与对应的感测像素341及发射窗314与对应的发光单元320的对准也都有组装精准度上的生产问题。此外,这种封装方式无法用芯片尺寸封装(Chip Scale Package,CSP)或晶圆级芯片尺寸封装(Wafer Level Chip Scale Package,WLCSP),因此无法有效大量生产及缩小封装体积。
发明内容
因此,本发明的一个目的是提供一种堆叠式光学感测封装体,可以用CSP或WLCSP的工艺来完成光学感测封装体,进而有效大量生产,缩小封装体的体积。
为达上述目的,本发明提供一种堆叠式光学感测封装体,至少包含:一感光芯片,具有一光感测区;一发光元件,设置于感光芯片的一上表面上;及一覆盖体,设置于感光芯片上,并且具有一接收窗及一发射窗。发光元件发射测量光,测量光的一部分通过发射窗照射在一目标物并从目标物反射输出感测光,光感测区通过接收窗接收感测光而产生一感测电信号。
利用上述的实施例,可以采用CSP或WLCSP工艺,以感光芯片当作封装基板,将发光元件堆叠于感光芯片的上面,再进行电连接封装及切割的工艺,以达到大量生产及缩小封装体积的目的。

本发明的实施例主要是采用WLCSP或CSP工艺来完成光学感测封装体,利用晶圆级的批量制造工艺,来大量生产并降低成本,并且通过整合性的光学制造,大幅改进发光元件与感光芯片排列的精准度(甚至到微米级精度)。利用晶粒键合(Die Bond)、胶合或是表面安装技术(Surface Mount Technology,SMT)将发光元件(例如发光芯片)放置于具有感光芯片的晶圆或芯片的上面,进行电连接以及封装的工艺,再进行切割,以达到大量生产、缩小封装体积的目的,并且实现收发光或飞行时间感测的效果。由于本领域技术人员可以从以下实施例轻易理解如何进行WLCSP或CSP工艺,故于此省略其详细图式说明。
图2显示依据本发明较佳实施例的光学感测封装体的示意图。如图2所示,本实施例提供一种堆叠式光学感测封装体100,其为一个封装完成的封装体,并且至少包含一感光芯片10、一发光元件20及一覆盖体30。于另一实施例中,堆叠式光学感测封装体100可以还包含一发光驱动模块(未显示),用于控制发光元件20的操作。可以理解的,发光驱动模块可以与感光芯片10整合成一体,也可以与感光芯片10及发光元件20分开,借由导线而电连接在一起,故于此不作特别限制。
感光芯片10具有一光感测区11。发光元件20设置于感光芯片10的一上表面10T上。亦即,发光元件20堆叠于感光芯片10上。覆盖体30设置于感光芯片10上,并且具有一接收窗31及一发射窗32作为光限制结构,使发光元件20发射测量光L1从发射窗32往外行进。测量光L1的一部分通过发射窗32照射在一目标物F并从目标物F反射输出感测光L3,光感测区11通过接收窗31接收感测光L3而产生一感测电信号。因 此,本实施例的发光元件20与感光芯片10通过上述光限制结构来进行光线发射及接收,使感光芯片10产生感测电信号。依据上述结构,可以用CSP或WLCSP工艺来制造多个光学感测封装体100于芯片或晶圆上,然后进行切割形成多个光学感测封装体100,使得光学感测封装体100的平面尺寸接近感光芯片10的上表面10T的平面尺寸,如此可以进行大量生产,并有效缩小光学感测封装体100的体积。
于一实施例中,感光芯片10具有:光敏结构,例如光电二极管、雪崩二极管(Avalanche Photo Diode,APD)等等;可选的微光学镜组(未显示),位于光敏结构的上方,其中微光学镜组可以包含微透镜、滤光层、光孔等光学元件;以及感测电路,用于处理来自于光敏结构的电信号。感光芯片10的制造可以是使用例如互补式金属氧化物半导体(Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor,CMOS)工艺,例如采用前面照度(Front Side Illumination,FSI)或背面照度(Back Side Illumination,BSI)工艺,抑或者其他的半导体工艺,本发明并不以此为限。感光芯片10的材料可以包含半导体材料,半导体材料例如硅、锗、氮化镓、碳化硅、砷化镓、磷化镓、磷化铟、砷化铟、锑化铟、硅锗合金、磷砷镓合金、砷铝铟合金、砷铝镓合金、砷铟镓合金、磷铟镓合金、磷砷铟镓合金或上述材料的组合。感光芯片上可以还包括一个或多个电气元件(如集成电路)。集成电路可以是类比或数字电路,类比或数字电路可以被实现为在芯片内形成并且根据芯片的电气设计与功能而达成电连接的主动元件、被动元件、导电层和介电层等等。此外,发光元件20可以是VCSEL或发光二极管(Light-Emitting Diode,LED),例如红外线LED。
于本实施例中,可利用金属焊料(Metal Solder)SMT(图中未示)或金属打线方式将发光元件20电连接至感光芯片10的上表面10T的多个电气接点12的一部分。更具体地,发光元件20至少通过多条连接线40以及感光芯片10中的内连线而电连接至电气接点12(例如焊垫)。可以利用晶圆级光刻技术(Wafer-Level Photolithography,WLP)、热压成型(Compression Molding)或网印(Screen printing)方式于感光芯片10上形成覆盖体30,其局部包覆发光元件20,且包覆连接线40,覆盖体30可以将感光芯片10与发光元件20阻隔开,形成围挡结构并且提供固定及保护发光元件20的功能。于一例子中,覆盖体30可以是由不透光的有机材料所形成。于另一例子中,覆盖体30可以是由透光有机材料形成,再于覆盖体30的上表面30T上形成一不透光的阻光层(图中未示),用于更进一步阻挡光线穿透,阻光层的材料可以是任何能阻止光线穿透的金属材料或非金属材料。于又另一例子中,覆盖体30为WLP或网印技术所使用的单层或多层材料所形成。覆盖体30可以进一步限制发光与收光的角度,也避免杂散光进入感光芯片10。电气接点12的另 一部分是电连接至光感测区11的感测像素。于本实施例中,电气接点12通过打线方式电连接至外部印刷电路板或软性电路板(未显示)。
于本实施例中,接收窗31及发射窗32的一者或两者中填有透明层,且光学感测封装体100可以还包含一第一光学器件36及一第二光学器件37,分别设置于接收窗31及发射窗32上。第一光学器件36及第二光学器件37包含但不限于透光元件或者具有特殊光学功能的光学器件,例如是曲面镜、具有例如散光或聚光功能的镜头、绕射光学元件(Diffraction Optical Element,DOE)、特定波长的滤光元件、其他光学元件、抑或多个光学功能的结合的器件等等。于一例子中,利用至少一道光刻(Photo Lithography)工艺,在接收窗31或发射窗32中的透明层上制作至少一阶深度的菲涅尔透镜(Fresnel Lens),可以对感测光L3或测量光L1做聚焦或扩束的光学处理。于另一实施中,接收窗31及发射窗32为空腔。为简化起见,以下的图3至图6B,将以空腔作为例子来说明。
图3至图6A与图6B显示图2的光学感测封装体的数个变化例的示意图。与图2具有相同元件符号的元件具有相同功能,在此不再赘述。如图3所示,本例类似于图2,差异点在于感光芯片10中形成有多个导电填孔15(或称导电柱塞),使得电气接点12可以通过导电填孔15而电连接至感光芯片10的一下表面10B的输入输出接点16(以箭头示意表示)。于本例中,导电填孔15为一硅穿孔(Through Silicon Via,TSV)。接点的实施方式有很多,于此不特别限制。于一例中,接点包含焊垫或焊球,可以采用球栅网格阵列封装(Ball Grid Array,BGA)或平面网格阵列封装(Land Grid Array,LGA)。于另一例中,也可以在光学感测封装体100的背面配置有额外的重新分布层(ReDistribution Layer,RDL)(图中未示)来将封装的焊垫或焊球做重新分布,以配合所欲安装的电子装置的输入输出接点用。
如图4A所示,本例类似于图2,其中主要是使用多条重布导线33来取代图2的打线方式设置的连接线40。另外,发光元件20至少通过重布导线33(提供水平及铅直方向的导电路径)而电连接至电气接点12,重布导线33可以借由金属镀膜、电镀、或网印等工艺再配合光刻工艺制作,有别于图2的打线方式,更适合于晶圆级的制作跟整合。利用重布导线33可以免去打线所需要的打线弧高的限制,并有助于更进一步缩小光学感测封装体的体积。实际制作时,可以将发光元件20磨薄到100微米或甚至更薄,再放置到感光芯片10上,然后布置重布导线33及覆盖体30,再进行切割,完成光学感测封装体100。
可以理解的,可以依据图3与图4A的部分结构予以变化,以获得图4B的光学感测 封装体100,其中发光元件20至少通过所述多条重布导线33、电气接点12及导电填孔15而电连接至输入输出接点16,具有TSV与重布导线的整合效果。
如图5A所示,本例类似于图2,差异点在于第一光学器件36与第二光学器件37两者贴合至覆盖体30的上表面30T,以分别覆盖接收窗31与发射窗32,提供光学处理的功能并且保护感光芯片10与发光元件20。以晶圆级工艺制作时,可以将具有阵列排列的多个第一光学器件36与第二光学器件37的载板(图中未示)贴合至覆盖体30上后,进行切割工艺以形成光学感测封装体100。
如图5B所示,本例类似于图4A与图5A,其中第一光学器件36与第二光学器件37贴合至覆盖体30,以分别覆盖接收窗31与发射窗32,提供类似图4A与图5A的整合效果。
如图6A所示,本例类似于图5A,差异点在于覆盖体30是由塑胶材料通过射出成型所制成的保护盖,先将第一光学器件36与第二光学器件37贴合至覆盖体30对应于接收窗31与发射窗32的一下表面30B,再将保护盖粘贴至感光芯片10上,并使电气接点12位于保护盖的外部。另外,覆盖体30可以不再与发光元件20有直接接触,而是覆盖体30与发光元件20之间有隔开的间隙G。上述组装方式,亦可通过晶圆级或芯片级的方式进行。可以理解的,于另一实施例中,连接线40可以由封装胶(未显示)包覆住。
如图6B所示,本例类似于图4A与图6A的整合变化例,其中在形成覆盖体30以后,利用塑胶材料射出成型的光学感测封装体100的围挡结构34当作保护盖,将第一光学器件36与第二光学器件37贴合至围挡结构34的下表面34B,而分别覆盖接收窗31与该发射窗32,再将保护盖粘贴至覆盖体30上,实现WLP与组装的整合。可以理解的,于另一实施例中,围挡结构34也可以粘贴至感光芯片10上。
值得注意的是,上述所有实施例,都可以适当的交互组合、替换或修改,以提供多样化的效果。
在较佳实施例的详细说明中所提出的具体实施例仅用以方便说明本发明的技术内容,而非将本发明狭义地限制于上述实施例,在不超出本发明的精神及权利要求保护范围的情况下,所做的种种变化实施,皆属于本发明的范围。
