DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Referring to FIG. 2 is a substrate structure for photosensitive chip package of the present invention includes plurality of leadframes 30 arranged in matrix, a molded resin 31.

[0017] Please referring to FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the leadframes of the invention.

[0018] The plurality of leadframes 30 are arranged in matrix, each of leadframes 30 have a first board 32 and a second board 34 located on a height different from that of the first board 32. A chamber 38 is defined upper a central of the leadframe 30, and a middle board 40 is arranged within the internal of the chamber 38, then, the photosensitive chip 43 is mounted to the middle board 40, and is located within the chamber 38 (as shown is FIG. 4).

[0019] The molded resin 31 is made of industrial plastic by way of injection molding to encapsulate leadframes 30, and has a upper surface 42 and a lower surface 44, wherein the first boards 32 of the leadframes 30 are exposed from the upper surface 42 of the molded resin 31, the second board 34 of the leadframes 30 are exposed from the upper surface 42 of the molded resin 31, by way of wire 46 to electrically connected to the photosensitive chip 43 (as shown in FIG. 4).

[0020] Please referring to FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration showing a substrate structure for a photosensitive chip package of the present invention.

[0021] The photosensitive chip 42 is arranged onto the middle board 40 of the leadframes 30, by way of wires 46 electrically connected to the second board 34 of the leadframes 30, thus, the signals from the photosensitive chip 43 may be transmitted to the leadframes 30. The transparent layer 48 is mounted to the first board 32 of the leadframes 30, thus, the photosensitive chip 43 is covered, then, the photosensitive chip 43 may be received optical signals passing through the transparent layer 48.

[0022] Referring to FIG. 5 is a second schematic illustration showing a substrate structure for a photosensitive chip package of present the invention.

[0023] Wherein the second board 34 and middle board 40 of the leadframes 30 are exposed from the lower surface 44 of the molded layer 31, therefore, the lower surface of second board 34 may be electrically connected to a printed circuit board. Thus, the photosensitive chip 43 may enhance the effects of dissipation head

[0024] To sum up, the present invent has the following advantages.

[0025] 1. Since the leadframes 30 are formed with a chamber 38, and the photosensitive chip 33 is located within the chamber 38 so as to the volume the package can be reduced.

[0026] 2. Since the printed circuit board 39 is directly covered over the first board 32 of the leadframes 30, on frame layer has to be provided. Thus, the manufacturing processes may be simplified and manufacturing cost may be reduced.

[0027] While present the invention has been described by way of an example and in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications. Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications.
