A first embodiment of the present invention provides an integrated sensor packaging structure 100. The integrated sensor packaging structure 100 comprises a substrate 1, a plurality of sensor modules 2 disposed on the substrate 1, and a plurality of optical modules 3 disposed on the substrate. Each of the sensor modules 2 may correspond to one of the optical modules 3 in position.

[0047] In this embodiment, the substrate 1 may be, for example, a ceramic substrate or a printed circuit board, but the present invention does not limit the material of the substrate 1. The substrate 1 may also be further provided with an electrical connector 11 so that the sensor module 2 can be electrically connected to an electronic component (not shown in the figure).

[0048] In this embodiment, the number of the plurality of sensor modules 2 is three, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the number of the plurality of sensor modules 2 may be two or more than three. In addition, the plurality of sensor modules 2 may be multi-package BGA (Multi-Package Ball Grid Array, mPBGA) or plastic leaded chip carrier (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier, PLCC), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0049] Each of the sensor modules 2 includes a sensing chip 21, a frame 22, and a light-transmitting member 23. The sensing chip 21 is disposed on the substrate 1, the frame 22 is disposed on the substrate 1 and surrounds the sensing chip 21, and the light-transmitting member 23 is disposed on the frame 22. Specifically, the light-transmitting member 23, the frame 22, and the substrate 1 together surround a closed space SP, and the sensing chip 21 is disposed in the closed space SP.

In this embodiment, the sensing chips 21 of each sensor module 2 have different thicknesses, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0052] In other words, in the integrated sensor packaging structure 100 of the present invention, multiple different sensor modules 2 are integrated on the substrate 1 to simplify the overall structure, and multiple sensor modules 2 include multiple sensing chips 21 of different thicknesses so that the integrated sensor packaging structure 100 can adapt to different focusing distances.

[0053] See also Figures 1 to 3 And with Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 for Figure 3 Schematic diagram of enlarged area IV in the middle. In each of the sensor modules 2, the frame 22 is annular, and a notch 222 is formed on a top surface 221 of the frame 22, so that the top surface 221 of the frame has a stepped structure S. Specifically, the notch 222 may be annular, and the notch 222 may be formed on a side of the top surface 221 of the frame 22 adjacent to the sensing chip 21 (such as the inner edge of the top surface 221). In addition, in each of the sensor modules 2, the frame 22 may be, for example, a molding compound, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0054] The light-transmitting member 23 may be, for example, transparent glass, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The light-transmitting member 23 may be disposed on the top surface 221 of the frame 22 , and a gap (not numbered in the figure) may be formed between the light-transmitting member 23 and the notch 222 of the frame 22 .

The adhesive layer 24 may be located in the gap between the light-transmitting member 23 and the notch 222 of the frame 22, so that the light-transmitting member 23 may be adhered to the frame 22 through the adhesive layer 24. In addition, the frame 22 of each of the sensor modules 2 may have a flange portion 223, the flange portion 223 is annular and protrudes from the top end surface 221 of the frame 22, and the flange portion 223 surrounds a ring side surface 231 of the light-transmitting member 23, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In other words, in each of the sensor modules 2, the greater the thickness of the sensing chip 21, the greater the height of the frame 31 of the corresponding optical module 3. Therefore, the greater the thickness of the sensing chip 21, the greater the distance between the lens 32 installed in the corresponding frame 31 and the sensing chip 21. In other embodiments, the height of the frame 31 may also vary according to actual needs, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0061] In this embodiment, the integrated sensor packaging structure 100 may include only one optical module 3. The frame 31 is disposed on the substrate 1 and surrounds the outer periphery of each sensor module 2, and the frame 31 may be integrally formed.

[0062] Specifically, in the optical module 3, the frame 31 includes a plurality of the supporting portions 311 and a plurality of the holding portions 312, each of the supporting portions 311 is disposed on the substrate 1 and surrounds a corresponding one of the sensor modules 2, each of the holding portions 312 can hold the lens 32, and the plurality of the supporting portions 311 and the plurality of the holding portions 312 are integrally formed.

[0063] In each of the sensor modules 2, the thickness of the sensing chip 21 is positively correlated with the height of a corresponding one of the retaining portions 312 of the frame 31 (e.g., the distance between the end of the retaining portion 312 away from the substrate 1 and the substrate 1). Therefore, the greater the thickness of the sensing chip 21, the greater the distance between the lens 32 mounted on the corresponding retaining portion 312 and the sensing chip 21.

[0064] [Third embodiment]

[0065] See also Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 Schematic diagram of an integrated sensor packaging structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The third embodiment of the present invention is similar to the second embodiment of the present invention, and the similarities between the two embodiments are not repeated here, while the differences between the two embodiments are described as follows.

[0066] In this embodiment, the frame 31 includes one supporting portion 311 and one frame body 22 . The supporting portion 311 surrounds the plurality of sensing chips 21 , the light-transmitting member 23 and the frame body 22 , and the frame body 22 surrounds the plurality of sensing chips 21 .

[0067] In addition, in this embodiment, the number of the light-transmitting member 23 is one, and the light-transmitting member 23 is disposed above the plurality of the sensing chips 21. In other words, the projection area formed by the positive projection of each of the sensing chips 21 onto the light-transmitting member 23 may be located on the bottom surface of the light-transmitting member 23, and the plurality of the sensing chips 21 are disposed in the closed space SP. In addition, each of the retaining portions 312 is disposed on a side of the supporting portion 311 away from the substrate 1, and the bottom surface of each of the retaining portions 312 of the frame 31 may be directly disposed on the light-transmitting member 23, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
