Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional optical detection modules using chip scale package technology face inaccuracies due to ambient light interference through the lateral surface of the glass substrate, leading to incorrect detection results.

Innovation Solution

A manufacturing method that involves spacing chip scale package assemblies on a carrier, filling light-sheltering material between them, removing the carrier, and trimming the material to form light-sheltering layers attached to the glass substrates, which block ambient light and enhance detection accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If chip scale package assemblies are disposed on a carrier without light sheltering, then the manufacturing process is simple and efficient, but ambient light interferes with the detection chip causing inaccurate detection results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the light sheltering function into separate layers (first light sheltering layer on the glass substrate, second light sheltering layer on the detection chip) rather than using a single complex sheltering structure. This segmentation allows each layer to independently block light from different directions, improving detection accuracy while maintaining manufacturing simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a light sheltering layer as an intermediary substance between the ambient environment and the detection chip. This intermediary blocks harmful ambient light from reaching the detection chip's photosensitive areas, thereby improving measurement precision without significantly complicating the overall device structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If light sheltering material is filled between adjacent chip scale package assemblies, then light leakage is prevented, but the manufacturing process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight interferenceVSAvoidmanufacturing ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the light sheltering function with the existing chip scale package assembly structure by integrating light sheltering layers directly onto the glass substrate and detection chip. This merging approach eliminates the need for separate light sheltering components between assemblies, preventing light leakage while maintaining manufacturing ease

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The light sheltering layers are applied in advance during the manufacturing process - the first layer is formed on the glass substrate before assembling the detection chip, and the second layer is formed on the detection chip. This preliminary action ensures light blocking capability is built-in from the start, preventing light interference without requiring additional complex manufacturing steps later

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Function Achieved in This Case

The solution effectively prevents light leakage, improving the detection efficiency of optical detection modules by ensuring that the imaging area of the detection chip can distinguish optical signals from ambient light, resulting in more accurate results.

Implementation Method 1

filling light sheltering material into a gap formed between two adjacent chip scale package assemblies... trimming the light sheltering material in the middle to form two light sheltering layers attached to the two adjacent chip scale package assemblies respectively, so that the two adjacent chip scale package assemblies with its own light sheltering layers respectively are separated to set as two optical detection modules
