Abstract

An image sensor module package structure with a supporting element comprises a chip, the supporting element and a light-transmitting element. The chip has light-sensing elements arranged on a light-sensing area of a first surface thereof, first conducting pads electrically connected to the light-sensing elements, and a conducting channel passing through the chip and electrically connected to the first conducting pads at one end. The supporting element has an opening, a first coupling surface, and a second coupling surface. The opening corresponds to the light-sensing area and the first coupling surface is combined with the first surface of the chip while the light-transmitting element is combined with the second coupling surface. The supporting element separates the light-transmitting element from the chip by a proper distance, so as to enhance an image sensing accuracy of an image sensor module. The chip having the conducting channel effectively facilitates reducing an overall volume of the image sensor module package structure.
