[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The structure diagram of the existing fingerprint module 10 is shown, which includes an appearance protection layer 101, a fingerprint chip 102, a metal ring 103 and a substrate 104, wherein the fingerprint chip 102 is fixed on the substrate 104 by a conductive material, the metal ring is fixed on the substrate by a glue layer, and the appearance protection layer 101 is arranged on the surface of the fingerprint chip 102. Water vapor enters the module through the gap between the metal ring 103 and the fingerprint chip 102. The waterproof glue 105 wraps the conductive material between the fingerprint chip 102 and the substrate 104 to realize the waterproof function of the module body.

[0034] In the existing actual fingerprint module manufacturing process, since there is gas between the bottom of the fingerprint chip 102 and the substrate 104 during the filling glue wrapping process, the filling glue often cannot be completely wrapped, and the glue is a flowing liquid. The entire glue filling process cannot be accurately controlled, and products with insufficient waterproof function often flow out, causing losses.

[0035] First embodiment

[0036] This embodiment provides a waterproof fingerprint module 20 to improve the problem of insufficient waterproof function of the existing fingerprint module 10 .

[0037] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a waterproof fingerprint module 20 provided in this embodiment is shown.

[0038] The waterproof fingerprint module 20 includes a circuit substrate 210, a support member 230, a fingerprint recognition chip 250 and a protective layer 270. The fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the support member 230 are both arranged on the circuit substrate 210, and the support member 230 is arranged on the periphery of the fingerprint recognition chip 250. The fingerprint recognition chip 250 includes a first plane 251 and a second plane 253 forming a stepped structure, the support member 230 includes a first mounting surface 231 and a second mounting surface 232 opposite to the first mounting surface 231, the first plane 251 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is electrically connected to the circuit substrate 210, and the second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is connected to the first mounting surface 231 of the support member 230 through the first adhesive layer 233. The second mounting surface 232 of the support member 230 is connected to the circuit substrate 210 through the second adhesive layer 213, and the protective layer 270 is arranged on the fingerprint recognition chip 250. Compared with the traditional fingerprint module 10, the waterproof fingerprint module 20 provided in this embodiment has a first adhesive layer 233 set between the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the support member 230, and a second adhesive layer 213 set between the support member 230 and the circuit substrate 210. The first adhesive layer 233 and the second adhesive layer 213 have a planar support, which is more stable, and the connection between the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the circuit substrate 210 is isolated from the outside world, thereby increasing the adhesive layer area and avoiding the problem of insufficient waterproof performance due to incomplete filling due to bubbles and other reasons.

[0039] The fingerprint recognition chip 250 includes a first plane 251 , a second plane 253 and a third plane 255 , wherein the first plane 251 and the second plane 253 form a stepped structure, the first plane 251 protrudes relative to the second plane 253 , and the third plane 255 is a surface opposite to the first plane 251 and the second plane 253 .

[0040] For example, in this embodiment, the fingerprint recognition chip 250 includes a plastic package, a wafer, a gold wire and a circuit substrate. The wafer is fixed on the circuit substrate by gluing with glue, and the wafer is electrically connected to the circuit substrate by the gold wire. The plastic package wraps the wafer and the gold wire to fix it on the circuit substrate. Therefore, the circuit substrate actually includes a circuit area and a non-circuit area around the circuit area. After the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is packaged, the non-circuit area of ​​the circuit substrate can be removed by mechanical processing, so that the fingerprint recognition chip 250 forms a stepped structure. In this embodiment, the first plane 251 protrudes relative to the second plane 253, that is, the first plane 251 includes the circuit area of ​​the circuit substrate of the fingerprint recognition chip 250, and the second plane 253 is a stepped surface formed after removing the non-circuit area. It should be noted that the position of the wafer, the gold wire and the circuit substrate can also be fixed by a mold injection molding method, and the fingerprint recognition chip 250 including a stepped structure can be made by injection molding.

[0041] The first plane 251 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is connected to the circuit substrate 210, which not only fixes the fingerprint recognition chip 250 on the circuit substrate 210, but also realizes the electrical connection between the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the circuit substrate 210 to complete the signal transmission.

[0042] The first plane 251 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 can be fixedly connected to the circuit substrate 210 through the conductive material 211. For example, the conductive material 211 can be solder paste or ACF film (Anisotropic Conductive Film, ACF), but is not limited thereto. The fingerprint recognition chip 250 can be fixedly connected to the circuit substrate 210 through solder paste or ACF film. The second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is connected to the support member 230.

[0043] The support member 230 is disposed on the circuit substrate 210 and disposed on the periphery of the fingerprint recognition chip 250. The support member 230 is used to support the fingerprint recognition chip 250 on one hand, providing a support surface for stably setting the glue layer, and on the other hand, is sleeved on the periphery of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 to protect the fingerprint recognition chip 250.

[0044] The support member 230 includes a first mounting surface 231 and a second mounting surface 232 opposite to the first mounting surface 231. A first adhesive layer 233 is provided between the first mounting surface 231 of the support member 230 and the second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250, and the first mounting surface 231 of the support member 230 and the second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 are bonded through the first adhesive layer 233. The first adhesive layer 233 is more stable because it is supported by the first mounting surface 231 of the support member 230 and the second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250. The first adhesive layer 233 firmly bonds the fingerprint recognition chip 250 to the support member 230, and at the same time fills the gap between the first mounting surface 231 of the support member 230 and the second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250, which can prevent water vapor from penetrating through the gap between the support member 230 and the fingerprint recognition chip 250, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the waterproof fingerprint module 20.

[0045] The first adhesive layer 233 may be made of a glue material with waterproof properties, such as ASEC301403 or Loctite 3128, but is not limited thereto. Compared with the conventional waterproof adhesive 215 that only wraps the connection surface, the waterproof fingerprint module 20 provided in this embodiment improves the waterproof performance of the waterproof fingerprint module 20 by providing the first adhesive layer 233.

[0046] The second mounting surface 232 of the support member 230 is connected to the circuit substrate 210 via the second adhesive layer 213. The second adhesive layer 213 is disposed between the second mounting surface 232 of the support member 230 and the circuit substrate 210. The support with two planes is more stable and has a better waterproof effect. The second adhesive layer 213 firmly adheres the support member 230 to the circuit substrate 210, and completely fills the gap between the second mounting surface 232 of the support member 230 and the circuit substrate 210, preventing moisture from penetrating through the gap between the support member 230 and the circuit substrate 210, thereby affecting the electrical connection between the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the circuit substrate 210.

[0047] The second adhesive layer 213 may be a waterproof adhesive layer that is the same as or different from the first adhesive layer 233 , and may be made of, for example, ASEC301403 or Loctite 3128.

[0048] A first chamfer is provided on the periphery of the support member 230, and the first chamfer of the support member 230 is connected to the second mounting surface 232 of the support member 230. A waterproof glue 215 is provided at the connection between the first chamfer and the second mounting surface 232, and the waterproof glue 215 completely wraps the second glue layer 213, so that the second glue layer 213 is isolated from the outside and prevents moisture from penetrating. The first chamfer can guide the waterproof glue 215 so that the waterproof glue 215 completely wraps the second glue layer 213, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the waterproof fingerprint module 20.

[0049] The waterproof glue 215 may be glue with better waterproof performance, such as Loctite UF3808, but is not limited thereto.

[0050] The support member 230 is disposed on the periphery of the fingerprint recognition chip 250, the inner periphery of the support member 230 is adjacent to the fingerprint recognition chip 250, and the inner periphery of the support member 230 is provided with a second chamfer. The second chamfer of the support member 230 is connected to the second mounting surface 232. The inner periphery of the support member 230 is formed with a second chamfer to prevent the fingerprint recognition chip 250 or the circuit substrate 210 from being cut by the internal edges and corners.

[0051] The waterproof fingerprint module 20 includes a protective layer 270, which is disposed on a side surface of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 away from the circuit substrate 210, namely, the third plane 255. The protective layer 270 is used to protect the fingerprint recognition chip 250. The protective layer 270 can be made of glass, sapphire, ceramic, paint and other materials, but is not limited thereto. The protective layer 270 can also be used to print a logo, etc.

[0052] The size of the protection layer 270 is comparable to the area of ​​the fingerprint recognition chip 250 , so that the fingerprint recognition chip 250 can be completely covered without exceeding the range of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the support member 230 may be an integral metal ring 243 made of metal, but is not limited thereto. Figure 3 In order to improve the waterproof performance of the waterproof fingerprint module 20 as much as possible, the area of ​​the second adhesive layer 213 between the support member 230 and the circuit substrate 210 can be increased without affecting the size of other components, that is, the area of ​​the second mounting surface 232 of the support member 230 is increased.

[0054] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the circuit substrate 210 may be a conventional circuit board or a flexible circuit board, but is not limited thereto.

[0055] Second embodiment

[0056] See also Figure 4 This embodiment provides a waterproof fingerprint module 20. The basic principle of the waterproof fingerprint module 20 provided in this embodiment is roughly the same as that of the waterproof fingerprint module 20 provided in the first embodiment. In order to briefly describe this embodiment, the same parts will not be described in detail. For the details not introduced in this embodiment, please refer to the relevant content in the first embodiment.

[0057] The waterproof fingerprint module 20 includes a circuit substrate 210, a support member 230, a fingerprint recognition chip 250 and a protective layer 270. The fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the support member 230 are both arranged on the circuit substrate 210, and the support member 230 is arranged on the periphery of the fingerprint recognition chip 250. The fingerprint recognition chip 250 includes a first plane 251 and a second plane 253 forming a stepped structure, the support member 230 includes a first mounting surface 231 and a second mounting surface 232 opposite to the first mounting surface 231, the first plane 251 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is electrically connected to the circuit substrate 210, and the second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is connected to the first mounting surface 231 of the support member 230 through the first adhesive layer 233. The second mounting surface 232 of the support member 230 is connected to the circuit substrate 210 through the second adhesive layer 213, and the protective layer 270 is arranged on the fingerprint recognition chip 250. Compared with the traditional fingerprint module, the waterproof fingerprint module 20 provided in this embodiment has a first adhesive layer 233 set between the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the support member 230, and a second adhesive layer 213 set between the support member 230 and the circuit substrate 210, so as to isolate the connection between the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the circuit substrate 210 from the outside world, increase the area of ​​the adhesive layer, and avoid the problem of insufficient waterproof performance caused by incomplete filling due to bubbles and the like.

[0058] In this embodiment, the support member 230 includes a gasket 241 and a metal ring 243 . The gasket 241 is connected to the circuit substrate 210 , and the metal ring 243 is disposed on the gasket 241 . The metal ring 243 is disposed on the periphery of the fingerprint identification chip 250 .

[0059] The gasket 241 is annular, and the first mounting surface 231 and the second mounting surface 232 are formed on the gasket 241 , and are two opposite surfaces on the gasket 241 .

[0060] The second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is connected to the first mounting surface 231 of the gasket 241 through the first adhesive layer 233. The periphery of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is chamfered, and the chamfer of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 is connected to the second plane 253. A waterproof glue 215 is provided at the connection between the chamfer of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the second plane 253, and the waterproof glue 215 wraps the first adhesive layer 233 to prevent moisture from penetrating from the gap between the second plane 253 of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 and the first mounting surface 231 of the gasket 241. The chamfer can guide the waterproof glue 215 so that the waterproof glue 215 completely wraps the first adhesive layer 233. The third adhesive layer 2432 can be made of a glue material with waterproof properties, for example, it can be ASEC301403 or Loctite 3128 and other materials, but is not limited thereto.

[0061] The second mounting surface 232 of the gasket 241 is connected to the circuit substrate 210 through the second adhesive layer 213 .

[0062] The metal ring 243 is disposed on the gasket 241, and the metal ring 243 is disposed on the periphery of the fingerprint identification chip 250. The metal ring 243 includes a bonding surface 2431, and the bonding surface of the metal ring 243 is connected to the first mounting surface 231 of the gasket 241 through the third adhesive layer 2432. The third adhesive layer 2432 firmly adheres the metal ring 243 to the gasket 241, and can also prevent moisture from penetrating through the gap between the metal ring 243 and the gasket 241.

[0063] The third adhesive layer 2432 may be an adhesive layer with waterproof performance that is the same as or different from the first adhesive layer 233 and the second adhesive layer 213 , and may be made of materials such as ASEC301403 or Loctite 3128.

[0064] The inner circumference of the metal ring 243 is chamfered, and the chamfer of the inner circumference of the metal ring 243 is connected to the bonding surface 2431 of the metal ring 243. In this embodiment, the metal ring 243 is arranged on the periphery of the fingerprint recognition chip 250. By providing a chamfer on the inner circumference of the metal ring 243, the metal ring 243 can be prevented from cutting the fingerprint recognition chip 250, thereby improving the quality of the product.

[0065] The waterproof fingerprint module 20 includes a protective layer 270, which is disposed on a side surface of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 away from the circuit substrate 210, namely, the third plane 255. The protective layer 270 is used to protect the fingerprint recognition chip 250. The protective layer 270 can be made of glass, sapphire, ceramic, paint, etc., but is not limited thereto. The protective layer 270 can also be used to print a logo, etc.

[0066] The size of the protection layer 270 is comparable to the area of ​​the fingerprint recognition chip 250 , so that the fingerprint recognition chip 250 can be completely covered without exceeding the range of the fingerprint recognition chip 250 .

[0067] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the waterproof performance of the waterproof fingerprint module 20 can be improved by increasing the area of ​​the second adhesive layer 213, see Figure 5 , that is, the area of ​​the second mounting surface of the gasket 241 is correspondingly increased.

[0068] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the circuit substrate 210 may be a conventional circuit board or a flexible circuit board, but is not limited thereto.
