A sensor package having a thermopile sensor and a reference thermopile sensor disposed therein. In one or more implementations, the sensor package includes a substrate, a thermopile sensor disposed over the substrate, a reference thermopile sensor disposed over the substrate, and a lid assembly disposed over the thermopile sensor and the reference thermopile sensor. The lid assembly includes a transparent structure that passes electromagnetic radiation occurring in a limited spectrum of wavelengths and an electromagnetic blocker disposed over the lid assembly. The electromagnetic blocker defines an aperture over the thermopile sensor such that at least a portion of the electromagnetic blocker is positioned over the reference thermopile sensor. The electromagnetic blocker is configured to at least substantially block the electromagnetic radiation occurring in a limited spectrum of wavelengths from reaching the reference thermopile sensor.
摘要:
A first substrate having an array of emitters or detectors may be joined by bump bonding with a second substrate having read-in (RIIC) or read-out (ROIC) circuitry. After the two substrates are joined, the resulting assembly may be singulated to form sub-arrays such as tiles sub-arrays having pixel elements which may be arranged on a routing layer or carrier to form a larger array. Edge features of the tiles may provide for physical alignment, mechanical attachment and chip-to-chip communication. The pixel elements may be thermal emitter elements for IR image projectors, thermal detector elements for microbolometers, LED-based emitters, or quantum photon detectors such as those found in visible, infrared and ultraviolet FPAs (focal plane arrays), and the like.

A semiconductor package includes a substrate, at lest one support, a cover, and a plate. The substrate has at least one light sensor or thermal sensor, a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The light sensor or the thermal sensor is disposed on the first surface. The second surface has an opening to expose the light sensor (or the thermal sensor). The support is disposed on the first surface. The cover is disposed on the support, such that the cover is above the light sensor (or the thermal sensor) to form a first space between the cover and the light sensor (or the thermal sensor). The plate is placed on the second surface to cover the opening, such that a second space is formed between the plate and the light sensor (or the thermal sensor).
