Abstract: A biometrics sensor module includes a housing, a biometrics sensor and a coupling electrode. The housing has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The biometrics sensor has a sensing surface, which is disposed on the first surface of the housing and has sensing members arranged in an array. The coupling electrode is disposed on the first or second surface of the housing. Two regions, projected from the sensing surface and the coupling electrode to the second surface of the housing, do not overlap with each other. A coupling signal is provided to the coupling electrode and directly or indirectly couples the coupling signal to an object, so that the sensing members of the biometrics sensor sense biometrics messages of the object contacting with the second surface of the housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fingerprint sensing mechanism using a two-dimensional thermoelectric sensor array to capture the thermal image related to the ridges and valleys on the finger, wherein its fabricating method is totally compatible with integrated circuits processing. Using the body temperature of a human being as the stimulation source for biometrics, a temperature difference is produced from a ridge of a fingerprint contacting the thermoelectric sensor and the temperature gradient is converted into an electrical signal. A plurality of thermoelectric sensors arranged in a two-dimensional array forms a fingerprint sensor so as to obtain the electrical signal output of the ridge profile of the fingerprint.

Abstract: A capacitive fingerprint sensor against ESD damage and contamination interference includes a substrate, a plurality of plate electrodes, a metal mesh, a plurality of ESD units, a plurality of bonding pads, and a protection layer. The plate electrodes, bonding pads and metal mesh are positioned on the substrate at the same level, and are composed of the same material. The ESD units are connected to the metal mesh that is conducted to the ground, and are exposed via a plurality of first openings. Thus, electrostatic charges from a finger may be discharged through this path to the ground. The metal mesh is covered by the protection layer and is not exposed. The number of the ESD units is far less than that of the plate electrodes so as to reduce the contamination interference on the captured fingerprint image.
