Patent ID: 7405760

Claim:
An image pickup device comprising: a substrate having at least one passive device mounted on a first surface thereof; a non-molded digital signal processing (DSP) chip attached on the first surface of the substrate, the non-molded DSP chip having a first surface including an active surface facing upward and at least one electrode pad on the active surface electrically connected to the substrate by at least one bonding wire; an adhesive directly attached on the active surface of the non-molded DSP chip, the adhesive having a first surface directly attached on the active surface of the non-molded DSP chip and a second surface opposing the first surface; a CMOS image sensor (CIS) chip directly attached on the second surface of the adhesive and electrically connected to the substrate, the CIS chip having an active surface facing upward; and a housing kit having a lens and an infrared filter and mounted on the substrate, the lens configured to transmit an image to the CIS chip, wherein the adhesive does not fully cover the at least one electrode pad on the active surface of the DSP chip.
