[0046] With the increasing popularity of cameras, their application scenarios are expanding, including mobile phone photography, drone videography, and security monitoring. While users appreciate the speed and convenience of cameras in these applications, they are also plagued by some inconveniences. For example, imaging is difficult in bright lighting, backlit shots result in dark faces, and front-lit shots result in overexposure and excessive brightness. While adjusting the aperture and focal length can address some of these issues, this also introduces new drawbacks, such as high cost, long focusing times, and unsuitability for high-speed imaging.
[0047] The camera module is a crucial component for image capture and the most important part of a camera. Figure 1 shows an exploded view of a camera module in related art. As shown in Figure 1, the camera module primarily includes a cover 40, a lens module 20, a voice coil motor (VCM) 30, a bracket 50, an infrared filter 60, an image sensor 10, and a printed circuit board (PCB) 70.
[0048] The main components of the lens module 20 are the lens group and the filter device (aperture). The aperture is a device used to control the amount of light that passes through the lens and enters the photosensitive surface of the image sensor. The aperture is usually set in the lens module. The amount of light entering is proportional to the square of the effective light-transmitting hole diameter D of the lens and inversely proportional to the focal length f of the lens. The ratio of D to f is called the relative clear aperture. The reciprocal of the relative clear aperture is called the aperture number, also known as the F number, F = f / D. The smaller the aperture number, the larger the clear aperture, and the more light enters in the same unit time. Figure 2 shows the aperture diagram under different states.
[0049] The voice coil motor 30 controls the current to drive the spring / shrapnel movement, adjusting the position of each lens in the lens module along the X, Y, and Z axes to achieve the sharpest focus. Simply put, the voice coil motor adjusts the focal length.
[0050] The image sensor 10 is the core component of the camera module. It converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and converts it into a digital signal through the readout circuit. The complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensor (CMOS image sensor, abbreviated as CIS) is an image sensor commonly used in camera modules. Figure 3 shows a simplified diagram of the imaging optical path of the camera module. As shown in Figure 3, the imaging optical path is roughly as follows: the light enters from the lens module, the aperture adjusts the amount of light entering, the lens group adjusts the focal length, passes through the packaging substrate of the image sensor, and is incident on the sensor chip. The sensor chip is located at the focal plane of the optical path. The correlation can be expressed by the following formula:
[0051] Here, ΔL represents depth of field, f represents focal length (image distance), F represents aperture value, L represents shooting distance, and δ represents the diameter of the circle of confusion. In camera modules, the diameter of the circle of confusion is generally fixed, so to achieve clear imaging, the aperture value and focal length need to be adjusted to appropriate values.
[0052] The camera modules described above include an aperture and adjustable focus. Some low-cost camera modules, however, use a fixed focus or no aperture, and are unable to capture images in scenes with varying lighting conditions.
[0053] In the related art, in order to achieve clear imaging, a separate dimming component is usually provided in the camera module (for example, arranged on the light incident side of the lens group, the light exit side of the lens group, or between adjacent lenses in the lens group). This structure will significantly increase the overall thickness of the camera module, which is not conducive to the thinness and lightness of the device. The present disclosure proposes a packaging structure for an image sensor, which integrates the dimming component into the packaging structure of the image sensor, thereby greatly reducing the thickness of the camera module. Without increasing more costs, the image sensor disclosed in the present disclosure can effectively adjust the brightness of the incident light, so that it can quickly image in a high-brightness range. Since there is no need to change the aperture size, there is no need to readjust the focal length, which greatly shortens the imaging time.
[0054] Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the basic structure of a conventional image sensor. Image sensor 10 typically includes a sensor chip 11, an optical film layer 13 located on the light-entering side of sensor chip 11, and a packaging structure 12. The optical film layer 13 typically includes a color filter and a microlens structure. The direction of incident light is indicated by the arrow in Figure 4. Figure 5 shows a top view of the packaging structure of a conventional image sensor. Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of the packaging structure of a conventional image sensor taken along line AA in Figure 5. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the packaging structure 12 of a conventional image sensor includes: a first transparent substrate 100, a carrier layer (Cavity) 111, a redistribution layer (Redistribution Layer) 112, a solder mask (Barrier Solder Mask) 113, and a solder mask face (Solder Mask Face) 114. The carrier layer 111 is used to accommodate the optical film layer, and the redistribution layer 112 is typically a conductive layer primarily made of Cu. The solder mask 113 forms a barrier surrounding the photosensitive area 01 to prevent the colloid used in the packaging process from entering the photosensitive area 01. The sensor chip's pads are typically distributed in a dotted pattern. After soldering the sensor chip's pads to the package structure, some gaps remain between the sensor chip and the package. To enhance the bond strength between the sensor chip and the package and prevent particulate contaminants from entering the photosensitive area, a viscous colloid, such as an epoxy resin, can be used to fill the gaps. Solder mask surface 114 protects the rewiring layer and reserves locations (i.e., first through-holes 131) where solder material (e.g., Sn balls) will be subsequently applied.
[0055] For the packaging structure of the conventional image sensor shown in Figures 5 and 6, the following steps can be used to produce it: 1. Producing a carrier layer: Using spin coating, exposure and development and other processes to prepare the carrier layer to form a cavity for subsequently accommodating the optical film layer of the image sensor. The material of the carrier layer can be resin, and the thickness is generally 30μm; 2. Producing a rewiring layer: Using electroplating, exposure and development, etching and other processes to produce the rewiring layer. The material of the rewiring layer is mainly Cu, and the thickness is generally 3-4μm; 3. Producing a solder mask: Using spin coating, exposure and development and other processes to prepare the solder mask, forming a retaining wall around the photosensitive area of the image sensor to prevent the colloid used in the packaging process from entering the photosensitive area. The material of the solder mask can be resin, and the thickness is generally 10μm; 4. Producing a solder mask surface: Using spin coating, exposure and development and other processes to prepare the solder mask surface, used to protect the rewiring layer and reserve the position where the welding material is required later. The material of the solder mask surface can be resin, and the thickness is generally 15μm. The aperture of the first through hole can be 100μm.
[0056] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, an image sensor is provided. FIG7 shows a top view of the packaging structure of an image sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG8 shows a cross-sectional view of the image sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the cross-sectional view of the packaging structure is taken along line BB in FIG7 . FIG9-13 respectively show cross-sectional views of the packaging structure of the image sensor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 7-13 , the packaging structure 12 of the image sensor 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a first transparent substrate 100; a packaging component 110 for packaging the sensor chip, the packaging component being arranged on a side of the first transparent substrate 100 facing the photosensitive area 01 of the sensor chip 11, and the orthographic projection of the packaging component 110 on the first transparent substrate 100 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the photosensitive area 01 of the sensor chip on the first transparent substrate 100; and a dimming component 120 for adjusting the intensity of light incident on the photosensitive area 01 of the sensor chip, the dimming component 120 being arranged on one side of the first transparent substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the dimming component 120 on the first transparent substrate 100 covering the orthographic projection of the photosensitive area 01 of the sensor chip 11 on the first transparent substrate 100.
[0057] 7-13 , the packaging component 110 may include: a carrier layer 111, which is arranged on a side of the first transparent substrate 100 facing the photosensitive area of the sensor chip; a rewiring layer 112, which is arranged on a surface of the carrier layer 111 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100; a solder mask 113, at least a portion of which is arranged on a surface of the carrier layer 111 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, the orthographic projection of the solder mask 113 on the first transparent substrate 100 surrounds the orthographic projection of the photosensitive area 01 on the first transparent substrate 100, and in a direction perpendicular to the first transparent substrate 100, the thickness of the portion of the solder mask 113 arranged on the surface of the carrier layer 111 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100 is greater than the thickness of the rewiring layer 112; a solder mask surface 114, which is arranged on a side of the first transparent substrate 100 facing the photosensitive area of the sensor chip and covers at least a portion of the rewiring layer 112, the solder mask surface 114 including a plurality of first through holes 131. The plurality of first through holes on the solder mask surface expose the redistribution layer, and Sn ball solders may be subsequently applied to the plurality of first through holes to fan out the circuit of the sensor chip to the PCB.
[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7-13, a portion of the solder mask 113 can be arranged on the surface of the carrier layer 111 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, and another portion can be arranged on the surface of the redistribution layer 112 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100. In other embodiments, the solder mask can be arranged entirely on the surface of the carrier layer facing away from the first transparent substrate, as long as the thickness of the solder mask is greater than the thickness of the redistribution layer. Because the thickness of the solder mask is greater than the thickness of the redistribution layer, the solder mask can effectively prevent the colloid used in the subsequent packaging process from entering the photosensitive area.
[0059] In some embodiments, the dimming component can be an electrochromic functional layer. As shown in Figures 8-10, the dimming component 120 may include: a first transparent conductive layer (First Transparent Conductive Layer) 121, which is arranged on one side of the first transparent substrate 100; an electrochromic layer (Electrochromic Layer) 122, which is arranged on the surface of the first transparent conductive layer 121 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100; an ion conductive layer (Ions Conductor Layer) 123, which is arranged on the surface of the electrochromic layer 122 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100; an ion storage layer (Ions Storage Layer) 124, which is arranged on the surface of the ion conductive layer 123 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100; and a second transparent conductive layer (Second Transparent Conductive Layer) 125, which is arranged on the surface of the ion storage layer 124 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100. The orthographic projections of the electrochromic layer 122 , the ion conductive layer 123 , the ion storage layer 124 and the second transparent conductive layer 125 on the first transparent substrate 100 are located inside the orthographic projection of the first transparent conductive layer 121 on the first transparent substrate 100 .
[0060] The disclosed embodiment utilizes an electrochromic dimming component to adjust the light transmittance without adjusting the aperture F value, thereby achieving clear imaging without adjusting the focal length through a voice coil motor. For high-end cameras with an aperture and variable focus, in application scenarios where the incident light intensity changes rapidly, such as drones flying against the light, the camera aperture and focal length do not need to be changed, and the transmittance can be quickly adjusted through the electrochromic functional layer to achieve fast and clear imaging. For low-cost cameras without an aperture, which cannot form images normally in environments that are too bright or too dark, the disclosed embodiment adjusts the light transmittance through the electrochromic functional layer, so that the camera without an aperture can better balance the imaging of the brightest and darkest areas, and obtain a wider dynamic range.
[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the dimming component (electrochromic functional layer) 120 and the packaging component 110 are arranged on the same side of the first transparent substrate 100. The first transparent conductive layer 121 is arranged on the surface of the first transparent substrate 100 facing the photosensitive region of the sensor chip, the electrochromic layer 122 is arranged on the surface of the first transparent conductive layer 121 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, and the ion conductive layer 123 is arranged on the surface of the electrochromic layer 122 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100. The ion storage layer 124 is arranged on the surface of the ion conductive layer 123 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, and the second transparent conductive layer 125 is arranged on the surface of the ion storage layer 124 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100.
[0062] The electrochromic functional layer is directly integrated with the packaging component on the same transparent substrate, without the need for an additional carrier substrate, reducing the overall thickness of the image sensor by at least 200μm.
[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 8, the carrying layer 111 includes a first carrying portion 111a and a second carrying portion 111b, the first carrying portion 111a is arranged on the surface of the first transparent conductive layer 121 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, and the second carrying portion 111b is arranged on the surface of the second transparent conductive layer 125 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, the surface of the first carrying portion 111a facing away from the first transparent substrate 100 and the surface of the second carrying portion 111b facing away from the first transparent substrate 100 are flush, the second carrying portion 111b includes at least one second through hole 132, the rewiring layer 112 is arranged on the surface of the first carrying portion 111a and the second carrying portion 111b facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, and the orthographic projection of the at least one second through hole 132 on the first transparent substrate 100 is located inside the orthographic projection of the rewiring layer 112 on the first transparent substrate 100.
[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the package assembly 110 further includes an electrical connection portion 115, which is disposed in the second through-hole 132 and electrically connects the second transparent conductive layer 125 to the rewiring layer 112. The second transparent conductive layer of the electrochromic functional layer and the rewiring layer of the package assembly are connected together via the electrical connection portion. Therefore, the leads for applying electrical signals to the electrochromic functional layer can share a film layer with the rewiring layer, thereby simplifying circuit wiring and simplifying the process of the entire package structure, achieving a high yield and low cost.
[0065] In some embodiments, the material of the electrical connection portion can be the same as that of the rewiring layer. The electrical connection portion and the rewiring layer can be formed together through the same process, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process.
[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , the solder mask surface 114 includes a first mask portion 114 a and a second mask portion 114 b. The first mask portion 114 a is disposed on a surface of the first transparent conductive layer 121 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100, and the second mask portion 114 b is disposed on a surface of the carrier layer 111 or the rewiring layer 112 facing away from the first transparent substrate 100. The surface of the first mask portion 114 a facing away from the first transparent substrate 100 and the surface of the second mask portion 114 b facing away from the first transparent substrate 100 are flush. The first mask portion 114 a includes at least one third through hole 133. The orthographic projection of the at least one third through hole 133 on the first transparent substrate 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the first transparent conductive layer 121 on the first transparent substrate 100. The third through hole 133 exposes a portion of the first transparent conductive layer 121.

[0070] For the packaging structure shown in Figure 9, the dimming component (electrochromic functional layer) can be first made on the first transparent substrate, and then the first transparent substrate can be turned over to make the packaging component. The specific preparation process of the electrochromic functional layer and the packaging component will not be repeated here. The electrochromic functional layer is directly integrated with the packaging component on the same transparent substrate, without the need for an additional carrier substrate, effectively reducing the thickness of the packaging structure. At the same time, since the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer of the electrochromic functional layer are not covered by the film layer of the packaging component, there is no need to set a through hole to expose the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer. The electrochromic functional layer can be directly controlled, reducing the preparation process.

[0072] For the packaging structure shown in Figure 10, the packaging component and the dimming component (electrochromic functional layer) can be made on the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate respectively, and then the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate can be bonded together. The specific bonding process can adopt the following method: use slit coating, spin coating, spray coating, micro-concave coating and other processes to make a layer of optically transparent glue on the back of any transparent substrate, and then bond the other transparent substrate to the optically transparent glue, and then anneal or UV irradiation to cure. Since the packaging component and the dimming component are made separately, the preparation processes of the two do not affect each other. At the same time, since the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer of the electrochromic functional layer are not covered by the film layer of the packaging component, there is no need to set a through hole to expose the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer. The electrochromic functional layer can be directly controlled, reducing the preparation process.

[0076] The packaging structure shown in FIG13 can be manufactured by the following steps: 1. Forming a third transparent conductive layer and a fourth transparent conductive layer on one surface of a third transparent substrate and a fourth transparent substrate, respectively. The material of the transparent conductive layer can be ITO, and the thickness can be 10-100 nm, for example, 52 nm; 2.

[0079] In some embodiments, the third transparent substrate and the fourth transparent substrate are flexible substrates, and the material of the flexible substrates may be, for example, PET, CPI, PA, etc. The thickness of the flexible substrate may be thinner than that of the glass substrate, thereby further reducing the overall thickness of the device.
[0080] In some embodiments, the first polarizer and the second polarizer may be rigid polarizers, so that the third transparent substrate and the fourth transparent substrate may be omitted, thereby further reducing the overall thickness of the device.

In this embodiment, the first nanograting array and the second nanograting array act as polarizers, and the principle is as follows: TE waves parallel to the wire grid drive electrons in the metal wire to oscillate along the length of the metal wire, where the electrons collide with atoms in the metal lattice, causing the TE waves to attenuate and radiate; TM waves driven perpendicular to the wire grid limit the space for electrons in the metal wire to move, reducing attenuation and radiation, allowing the TM waves to pass through the metal wire with little change. Two wire-grid polarizers are fabricated orthogonally, with the central liquid crystal layer using twisted nematic liquid crystals. The pitch is set so that the two substrates are rotated 90 degrees. Light passes through the first nano-grating array for polarization screening, and after optical rotation by the liquid crystal layer, it is emitted through the second nano-grating array. This allows the light transmittance to be adjusted by adjusting the deflection angle of the liquid crystal layer.
