Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip with a light receiving element disposed in a surface of the semiconductor chip, and a light transmission window having a first surface facing the light receiving element and a second surface generally parallel to the first surface and for protecting the light receiving element. One of two liquid agents constituting a two-part adhesive is applied to the surface of the semiconductor chip so that the liquid agent surrounds the light receiving element, and the other of the liquid agents of the two-part adhesive is applied to the first surface of the light transmission window in correspondence with the former liquid agent. These liquid agents are brought into contact with each other to fix the light transmission window to the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip and part of the light transmission window is then resin-molded so that the second surface of the light transmission window is exposed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip with a light receiving element disposed in a surface of said semiconductor chip and a light transmission window for protecting said light receiving element, said light transmission window having a first surface facing said light receiving element and a second surface generally parallel to said first surface, said method comprising: applying a first of first and second liquid agents comprising a two-part adhesive to a surface of a semiconductor chip in which is disposed a light receiving element to surround said light receiving element with said first liquid agent; applying the second of said liquid agents of said two-part adhesive to a first surface of a light transmission window at a location corresponding to the first of said liquid agents as applied to said semiconductor chip; fixing said semiconductor chip and said light transmission window to each other by bringing said first and second liquid agents into contact with each other; and molding said semiconductor chip in a resin without obscuring said second surface of said light transmission window with the resin.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
183 words
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a semiconductor chip with a light receiving element disposed in a surface of said semiconductor chip and a light transmission window for protecting said light receiving element, said light transmission window having a first surface facing said light receiving element and a second surface generally parallel to said first surface, said method comprising: applying a first of first and second liquid agents comprising a two-part adhesive to a surface of a semiconductor chip in which is disposed a light receiving element to surround said light receiving element with said first liquid agent; applying the second of said liquid agents of said two-part adhesive to a first surface of a light transmission window at a location corresponding to the first of said liquid agents as applied to said semiconductor chip; fixing said semiconductor chip and said light transmission window to each other by bringing said first and second liquid agents into contact with each other; and molding said semiconductor chip in a resin without obscuring said second surface of said light transmission window with the resin.
