Abstract

An assembly facilitates mounting a set of abutted semiconductor chips, such as chips aligned to form a single full-page-width linear array of photosensors in a digital scanner or copier. An elongated bead of electrically conductive adhesive extends along a surface of a support substrate. A plurality of semiconductor chips is disposed along the elongated bead, each semiconductor chip including a linear array of photosensors on a front surface thereof, and a back surface attached to the support substrate by the electrically conductive adhesive. A connection block is disposed along another portion of the elongated bead, the block including a first surface contacting the bead, a second surface, and a conductor extending from the first surface to the second surface.
