Abstract

A complex optical proximity sensor includes a substrate, a light emitter coupled to the substrate, an application-specific integrated circuit chip coupled to the substrate, a proximity sensor embedded in the application-specific integrated circuit chip, a barrier disposed between the application-specific integrated circuit chip and the light emitter, and an ambient light detection chip manufactured in advance and then coupled to the application-specific integrated circuit chip thereon with a pre-determined height. The elements are disposed within a limited area of an aperture and, with a manufacturing method of the complex optical proximity sensor, the detection angle of the ambient light is thereby maximized and the detection angle of the proximity sensor is thereby minimized.
