Abstract

Abstract Methods for the production of image sensors having simplified chip mounting are provided which comprise disposing a photo-setting type insulating resin on the upper side of a substrate, a portion of the substrate being transparent and having circuit conductor layers on its upper side; bringing an image sensor chip, the underside of which has electrodes, into contact with the upper side of the substrate so that the photo-setting type resin is wedged away and the electrodes come into contact with the corresponding circuit conductor layers; flowing current into the image sensor chip through the circuit conductor layers to determine that the image sensor chip operates in a normal manner; and irradiating the photo-setting type resin with light so that the resin is hardened.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 126 words
A method for the production of image sensors comprising disposing a photo-setting type insulating resin on an upper side of a substrate, a portion of which is transparent and which has circuit conductor layers on said upper side, bringing an image sensor chip, an under side of which has electrodes, into contact with the upper side of said substrate so that said photo-setting type insulating resin positioned onto said circuit conductor layers is wedged away and said electrodes come into contact with the corresponding circuit conductor layers, flowing current into said image sensor chip through said circuit conductor layers to determine that said image sensor chip operates in a normal manner, and irradiating said photo-setting type insulating resin with light so that said resin is hardened.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 126 words
A method for the production of image sensors comprising disposing a photo-setting type insulating resin on an upper side of a substrate, a portion of which is transparent and which has circuit conductor layers on said upper side, bringing an image sensor chip, an under side of which has electrodes, into contact with the upper side of said substrate so that said photo-setting type insulating resin positioned onto said circuit conductor layers is wedged away and said electrodes come into contact with the corresponding circuit conductor layers, flowing current into said image sensor chip through said circuit conductor layers to determine that said image sensor chip operates in a normal manner, and irradiating said photo-setting type insulating resin with light so that said resin is hardened.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
A method for the production of image sensors according to claim 1, wherein said substrate is a transparent substrate and said photo-setting type insulating resin is transparent.
