Abstract:
A method for making a chip photoelectric sensor assembly comprising: a substrate provided on an upper surface thereof with a printed circuit board mounted thereon, and a plurality of bonding wires, said substrate further provided in an underside thereof with a plurality of soldering pads; a photoelectric sensor chip provided in the center of an upper surface thereof with a plurality of photoelectric sensors and a photosensitive area formed by said photoelectric sensors, said photoelectric sensor chip further provided on the upper surface thereof with a plurality of electric connection ports whereby said photoelectric sensor chip is mounted on said substrate such that said electric connection ports of said photoelectric sensor chip are connected with said bonding wires of said substrate; a protective cover made of an electrically-insulating resin and shielding said electric connection ports and said bonding wires; and a light-permeable protective layer masking said photosensitive area of said photoelectric sensor chip whereby said light-permeable protective layer has a thickness ranging between 1 and 10 microns; said method comprising:(a) making or providing a semiconductor wafer; (b) providing the wafer with a plurality of photoelectric sensors and electric connection ports; (c) coating evenly the wafer with a covering of a photosensitive hard coating material such that the photoelectric sensors and the electric connection ports are covered by the coating; (d) forming a light-permeable protective layer of the photosensitive hard coating material by a photolithographic process such that only the photoelectric sensors are masked by the light-permeable protective layer; (e) dividing the wafer into a plurality of photoelectric sensor chips; (f) mounting respectively the photoelectric sensor chips on a substrate with a printed circuit board mounted on the upper surface thereof whereby said substrate is provided on the upper surface thereof with a plurality of bonding wires and in the underside thereof with a plurality of soldering pads; (g) connecting electrically the photoelectric sensor chip with the substrate by connecting the electric connection ports with the bonding wires; and (h) providing each photoelectric sensor chip with a protective cover of an electrically-insulating resin whereby said protective cover shields the electric connection ports and the bonding wires.
