[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the embodiments of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the embodiments of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0037] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a posture change or a motion state change, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0038] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides an image processing component and a camera module, which can quickly and effectively dissipate the heat generated by the chip when it is working, thereby keeping the chip in a suitable working temperature environment and ensuring its reliability and service life during operation.

[0039] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an image processing component, including a substrate 1, a chip 2 and a heat sink 4.

[0040] The substrate 1 includes a first surface 11 and a second surface 12 that are arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, the first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are two sides of the substrate 1 along the thickness direction.

[0041] The chip 2 is fixed to the first surface 11 of the substrate 1 by means of a first adhesive 3 .

[0042] The heat sink 4 is fixed to the side of the chip 2 away from the substrate 1 by the second adhesive 5 . Specifically, the heat sink 4 covers the entire chip 2 .

[0043] In the present application, by providing a heat sink 4 on the side of the chip 2 away from the substrate 1, the heat generated by the chip 2 during operation can be quickly and effectively dissipated, so that the chip 2 is maintained in a suitable operating temperature environment to ensure its reliability and service life during operation.

[0044] In the related art, the chip 2 of the image processing component generates heat continuously during operation, and the heat generated cannot be quickly and effectively transferred out of the air, and can only be dissipated through the air. However, the thermal conductivity of air is very low, so the heat dissipation effect is poor. This causes the heat of the chip 2 to become higher and higher, thereby reducing the reliability of the chip 2 during operation. If the heat generated by the chip 2 cannot be discharged in time, it will bring many hazards, such as reducing the performance of the chip 2, shortening the service life of the chip 2, and increasing the energy consumption of the collection, etc.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, a heat sink 4 is provided on the surface of the chip 2, and the heat generated by the chip 2 is transferred to the heat sink 4 through the second adhesive 5, and then dissipated through the heat sink 4. Compared with the prior art in which the heat of the chip 2 is only dissipated by air, the heat of the chip 2 can be dissipated quickly and effectively, thereby ensuring that the chip 2 can maintain working in a relatively suitable temperature environment.

[0046] In the related art, after the image processing component is packaged, an enclosed space will be formed at the bottom of the chip 2. The heat generated by the chip 2 will cause the air in the enclosed space to expand, thereby forming a certain pressure inside, which will easily affect the reliability of the connection structure between the chip 2 and the substrate 1.

[0047] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing groove 13 is provided on the first surface 11 of the substrate 1, and the chip 2 is arranged in the fixing groove 13. The first adhesive 3 includes a first connecting part 31, a second connecting part 32 and a third connecting part 33. The first connecting part 31 is connected to the chip 2, the second connecting part 32 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove 13, and the third connecting part 33 is connected to the inner side wall of the fixing groove 13.

[0048] In the present application, by arranging the chip 2 in the fixing groove 13 of the substrate 1, and filling the first adhesive 3 in the fixing groove 13, the first connecting portion 31 of the first adhesive 3 is connected to the chip 2, the second connecting portion 32 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove 13, and the third connecting portion 33 is connected to the inner side wall of the fixing groove 13, not only can the chip 2 be connected and fixed along the thickness direction of the chip 2, but also the chip 2 can be fixed around the chip 2, thereby improving the fixing effect of the chip 2, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the chip 2 and the substrate 1, and effectively alleviating the problem of looseness between the chip 2 and the substrate 1 due to increased pressure in a confined space.

[0049] Specifically, the chip 2 is connected to the heat sink 4 through the second adhesive 5, and the heat can be quickly and effectively dissipated through the second adhesive 5 and the heat sink 4, thereby alleviating the increase in air pressure in the enclosed space at the bottom of the chip 2 due to the increase in temperature. By reducing the increase in air pressure in the enclosed space, the risk of separation between the chip 2 and the substrate 1 is alleviated.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second adhesive 5 includes a first part 51 located in the fixing groove 13 and a second part 52 connected to the first part 51, the first part 51 connects the chip 2 and the fixing groove 13, and the second part 52 is located outside the fixing groove 13, and the second part 52 connects the heat sink 4 and the substrate 1.

[0051] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in the present application, the first part 51 of the second adhesive 5 is located in the fixing groove 13 and fixes the chip 2 together with the first adhesive 3, and the second part 52 of the second adhesive 5 is located outside the fixing groove 13, which can fix the heat sink 4 and the substrate 1, so that the heat sink 4 is pressed tightly above the chip 2, which can further improve the fixing effect of the heat sink 4 and further alleviate the problem of separation of the chip 2 and the substrate 1 due to increased air pressure in the confined space.

[0052] Specifically, the first part 51 of the second adhesive 5 can fully fill the fixing groove 13 with the first adhesive 3, thereby fixing the chip 2 in the fixing groove 13, avoiding the situation in which the first adhesive 3 cannot fully fill the fixing groove 13 during the packaging process and affects the connection effect between the chip 2 and the substrate 1.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first portion 51 includes a fourth connection portion 511 and a fifth connection portion 512 , the fourth connection portion 511 is connected to the chip 2 , and the fifth connection portion 512 is connected to the first adhesive 3 .

[0054] In the present application, the fourth connection portion 511 in the first part 51 of the second adhesive 5 is connected to the top surface of the chip 2 and covers the entire top surface of the chip 2 , and the fifth connection portion 512 is connected to the first adhesive 3 , thereby firmly fixing the chip 2 in the fixing groove 13 .

[0055] Specifically, the fourth connection portion 511 is connected not only to the top surface of the chip 2 but also to the upper half of the area around the chip 2 , and the first connection portion 31 of the first adhesive 3 is connected not only to the ground of the chip 2 but also to the lower half of the area around the chip 2 .

[0056] In some embodiments, the first portion 51 includes a sixth connecting portion 513 , and the sixth connecting portion 513 is connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 13 .

[0057] Specifically, the sixth connection portion 513 of the second adhesive 5 is connected to the upper half of the inner wall of the fixing groove 13, and the third connection portion 33 of the first adhesive 3 is connected to the lower half of the inner wall of the fixing groove 13. Because the first adhesive 3 and the second adhesive 5 are arranged in a front-to-back manner, the chip 2 and the substrate 1 are first connected through the first adhesive 3, and then the second adhesive 5 is painted on the top of the substrate 1 and the chip 2 through the glue painting process on the top surface of the chip 2. The second adhesive 5 can fully fill the gap between the chip 2 and the substrate 1, and then the heat sink 4 is mounted on the top of the chip 2 through the mounting process, thereby further improving the fixing effect of the chip 2.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second adhesive 5 is made of a high thermal conductivity material, and the thermal conductivity of the second adhesive 5 is 1.2 W / mk to 1.6 W / mk.

[0059] In the present application, the second adhesive 5 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity to improve the thermal conductivity between the chip 2 and the heat sink 4 , thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect on the chip 2 .

[0060] Specifically, the first adhesive 3 may also be made of a high thermal conductivity material, so that the heat generated by the chip 2 is transferred to the second adhesive 5 and the heat sink 4 through different locations. Optionally, the first adhesive 3 may also be made of other materials, and only connect and fix the chip 2 and the substrate 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, the chip 2 is electrically connected to the substrate 1 via gold bumps 6 , and the gold bumps 6 are located in the first adhesive 3 .

[0062] In the present application, the chip 2 is welded on the substrate 1 with the circuit and connected through the gold bump 6, so that the chip 2 and the substrate 1 form a circuit path, and then the first adhesive 3 is filled in the gap between the chip 2 and the substrate 1 through the bottom filling process. The first adhesive 3 not only connects the substrate 1 and the chip 2, but also can cover the gold bump 6 to protect the gold bump 6, thereby avoiding the situation where the gold bump 6 is broken due to the unreliable connection between the chip 2 and the substrate 1, thereby ensuring the reliability and service life of the image processing component.

[0063] In some embodiments, the image processing component includes a filter 7 disposed on the second surface 12 of the substrate 1 , and a photosensitive area 21 is disposed on a side of the chip 2 facing the filter 7 for receiving light passing through the filter 7 .

[0064] In the present application, the filter 7 is an infrared filter 7, and the filter 7 is fixed to the second surface 12 of the substrate 1 by an adhesive. External light passes through the filter 7 and is projected onto the photosensitive area 21 of the chip 2, and the image processing component starts to work. Since higher pixels, more powerful processing capabilities, and richer shooting modes are the development trends of the future mobile phone camera sensor chip 2, the heat generation of the chip 2 increases, so the heat sink 4 is provided to increase the heat dissipation effect of the chip 2, and the second adhesive 5 is used to enable the heat sink 4 to tightly fix the chip 2 in the fixing groove 13, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the chip 2 and the substrate 1.

[0065] In some embodiments, a connecting channel 14 is provided in the substrate 1 , and the chip 2 and the filter 7 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting channel 14 , and the connecting channel 14 is enclosed to form a closed space.

[0066] In the present application, the communication channel 14 passes through the substrate 1 from top to bottom and is connected to the fixing groove 13. The chip 2 and the filter 7 enclose the communication channel 14 into a closed space to ensure that the electronic components on the chip 2 are not affected by the outside. However, the gas in the closed space will increase in pressure when the temperature rises, thereby increasing the thrust between the chip 2 and the filter 7, causing the chip 2 to tend to move away from the substrate 1, which is prone to the problem of the gold bump 6 between the chip 2 and the substrate 1 breaking. The heat dissipation effect of the chip 2 is improved by the heat sink 4, which can alleviate the problem of increased air pressure in the closed space to a certain extent. In addition, the heat sink 4 is fixed above the chip 2 and the substrate 1 by the second adhesive 5, which improves the fixing effect of the chip 2, thereby preventing the gold bump 6 between the chip 2 and the substrate 1 from breaking.

[0067] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in FIG. 5 , in some embodiments, the image processing component includes a fixing frame 8 disposed on the first surface 11 of the substrate 1 , and the heat sink 4 is located in the fixing frame 8 .

[0068] In the present application, the fixing frame 8 is made of metal. By accommodating the heat sink 4 in the fixing frame 8, the heat sink 4 can be protected, further increasing the strength of the overall structure.

[0069] The image processing component can dissipate the heat generated by the chip 2 when it is working quickly and effectively by arranging a heat sink 4 on the side of the chip 2 away from the substrate 1, so that the chip 2 is kept in a suitable working temperature environment, ensuring its working reliability and service life.

[0070] An embodiment of the present application provides a camera module, including the aforementioned image processing component.

[0071] The camera module in this application is a mobile phone camera, a tablet camera, a computer camera, a surveillance camera, etc.

[0072] When the camera module is packaged, the chip 2 is first soldered on the substrate 1 with the circuit through the flip chip 2 process, and connected through the gold bumps 6, so that the chip 2 and the substrate 1 form a circuit path; the first adhesive 3 is filled in the gap between the chip 2 and the substrate 1 through the bottom filling process, and the first adhesive 3 is cured in the oven so that the two are firmly fixed together. The first adhesive 3 is thermally baked and cured under the conditions of 150°C for 10s or 120°C for 60s; after the chip 2 is packaged, the substrate 1 and the chip 2 are connected. A second adhesive 5 with high thermal conductivity is drawn on the top side of the chip 2 by a glue drawing process on the top of the substrate 1 and the chip 2, and then the heat sink 4 is mounted on the back of the chip 2 by a mounting process. The heat sink 4 completely covers the chip 2, and then the chip 2 and the heat sink 4 are effectively bonded together after baking and curing. The second adhesive 5 is thermally baked and cured under the following conditions: baked at 150°C for 10s or at 120°C for 60s. The strength verification of the cured adhesive is as follows: 2X2mm silicon wafer on Au surface, shear strength 5.2Kgf.

[0073] The heat generated by the chip 2 during operation can be quickly and effectively transferred to the heat sink 4 through the second adhesive 5 with high thermal conductivity. The heat sink 4 has a larger heat dissipation area, thereby reducing the temperature of the chip 2 and improving the stability and reliability of the chip 2. When the product is under extreme working conditions and high pressure appears in the enclosed space between the chip 2 and the filter 7, since the heat sink 4 is added to the back of the chip 2, the second adhesive 5 not only connects the heat sink 4 and the chip 2, but also connects the heat sink 4 and the substrate 1, thereby improving the strength of the chip 2 attached to the substrate 1, thereby reducing the risk of separation of the chip 2 from the substrate 1 and increasing the reliability of the product.
