Abstract

A method for packaging an image sensor includes the steps of providing a substrate, forming a first adhesive on one surface of the substrate, attaching a transparent material on the first adhesive, cutting or carving the surface of the transparent material to a depth penetrating the transparent material while not penetrating the first adhesive, cleaning the cut or carved surface of the transparent material, depositing a frame glue on the transparent material, and combining the transparent material with a microchip that includes a plurality of micro-lenses. The micro-lens is packaged within the transparent material. The microchip is then ground to perform a lithography process. Next, the substrate and part of the first adhesive are detached after the lithography process. After performing a cutting or carving procedure, the packaging process of the image sensors is completed.
