Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a fingerprint detection device mounted in a package having an opening for fingerprint detection and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the spread of the Internet,
The digitization and networking of information is progressing rapidly,
At the same time, the importance of managing corporate information and personal information is increasing. In order to use such information safely, it is necessary to authenticate the user's qualification by some method when accessing the information. Conventionally, an authentication number is set in advance for each user, and a password is set to perform individual authentication. However, in the conventional personal authentication using the authentication number and password, the risk of plagiarism, spoofing, etc. is increasing, and personal authentication with higher confidentiality is being demanded.

On the basis of such a background, a personal authentication method utilizing biological characteristics such as fingerprints and iris that are invariant to everyone and are constant throughout life is spreading. Especially regarding fingerprint authentication,
Since the fingerprint sensor can be miniaturized and a highly accurate matching algorithm has been established through many years of research,
It is rapidly spreading, mainly for use as a login means for personal computers.

The principle of a fingerprint detection device used for fingerprint authentication is roughly classified into an optical system and a semiconductor system. The optical fingerprint detection device has a large number of parts such as lenses and prisms, and it is difficult to downsize the optical fingerprint detection device to a certain size or more due to optical size restrictions. On the other hand, the semiconductor type device can be easily downsized, and thus can be mounted on a mobile phone or a mobile information terminal.

The semiconductor type fingerprint detecting device is a mechanism for converting geometric fingerprint information peculiar to an individual into an electric signal from a change in capacitance or a change in pressure at a fingerprint detecting portion on the surface of the fingerprint detecting element. Therefore, it is inevitably required that the fingerprint detection unit be exposed to the outside of the device. However, in the case of a fingerprint detection element that partially converts a change in body temperature into an electric signal, it is possible to apply resin to the surface of the detection part for protection, but the coating on the detection part is not covered by other skins. It needs to be much thinner than.

As a fingerprint detecting device for exposing the detecting portion of the fingerprint detecting element to the outside as described above, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-2892
The configuration disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 68 is known. The structure of the conventional fingerprint detecting device will be described below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

FIG. 8 shows a schematic structure of a conventional fingerprint detecting device 30. In FIG. 8, a fingerprint detection element 31 formed as a semiconductor element is provided on a lead frame 32 made of a metal such as 42 alloy which is a high nickel iron alloy containing 42% nickel (Ni) in iron (Fe). It is mounted via a die-bonding adhesive 33 such as silver (Ag) paste. The electrode pad 34 on the fingerprint detection element 31 is made of gold (A
It is connected to the lead portion 36 that is led out to the outside by the lead frame 32 via the thin metal wire 35 made of u) or the like. A fingerprint detecting section 37 is formed on the surface of the fingerprint detecting element 31. The surface of the fingerprint detection unit 37 is temporarily covered with a removable protective film (not shown). A lead frame 32 having a fingerprint detection element 31 covering the fingerprint detection portion 37 with a protective film is sandwiched in a molding die (not shown), and a sealing resin 38 made of epoxy resin or the like is press-fitted and hardened. A package 39 is obtained by Then, the above-mentioned protective film is removed with a predetermined solvent or the like, and the fingerprint detection unit 37 is exposed to the outside, whereby the fingerprint detection device 30 is obtained. When the fingerprint detection unit 37 exposed to the outside is brought into contact with the fingerprint 40 of the fingertip, an electric signal corresponding to the fingerprint 40 is obtained at the lead unit 36 connected to the fingerprint detection element 31.

FIG. 9 shows a schematic device configuration which is assumed when an electric signal of fingerprint information obtained from the fingerprint detection device 30 is stored in an external storage device 50. Figure 9
In, the fingerprint detecting device 30 is made of an organic material such as glass epoxy and is mounted on the wiring board 51 on which a predetermined conductive wiring pattern (not shown) is formed. A predetermined land pattern 52 is formed on the conductive wiring pattern. By connecting the lead portion 36 of the fingerprint detecting device 30 to the land pattern 52 with the solder material 53, the wiring board 51 and the fingerprint detecting device 30 can be electrically connected.

On the other hand, the memory element 54 made of a semiconductor integrated circuit chip has a lead frame 55 made of 42 alloy or the like.
It is mounted on top with an adhesive 56 such as Ag paste. The electrode pad 57 on the memory element 54 is connected to the lead portion 59 of the lead frame 55 via a thin metal wire 58 made of Au or the like. A lead frame 55 carrying the memory element 54 is sandwiched between molding dies (not shown), and a sealing resin 60 made of epoxy resin or the like is injected and solidified to obtain a package 61, which serves as the memory device 50. It can be manufactured. The storage device 50 includes a lead unit 59.
By being connected to the predetermined land pattern 62 by the solder material 63, the electrical connection with the wiring board 51 can be obtained.

After a predetermined electrical connection is made, if an arbitrary fingerprint 40 is pressed against the exposed fingerprint detecting portion 37 of the fingerprint detecting device 30, the surface of the fingerprint detecting portion 37 will have a geometrical shape peculiar to an individual. Fingerprint information is obtained by generating a distribution pattern such as a change in capacitance, a change in pressure, or a thermal change corresponding to a typical fingerprint, and converting the distribution pattern into a predetermined electric signal. This information is electrically stored in the storage device 50, and when personal authentication is required, the fingerprint information converted into an electric signal by the fingerprint detection element 31 is stored in advance in the storage device 50 via a predetermined algorithm. Individuals can be specified by comparing and collating with the fingerprint information registered in.

[0011]

However, in the case of the fingerprint detecting device 30 having the structure described in the above publication, the protective film is temporarily covered with the fingerprint detecting portion to form the package 39, and then the protective film is formed. A process such as removal is required, and the manufacturing method is very complicated. Therefore, cost increase is inevitable. Further, when identifying an individual by fingerprint authentication and accessing the information, a process of comparing and collating with the fingerprint information which is converted into an electric signal in advance by the fingerprint detecting element 31 and stored in the storage device 50 is required. The fingerprint detection device 30 described in the above publication does not provide a method of arranging the storage device 50 inside. Therefore, as assumed in FIG. 9, the storage device 50 must be necessarily arranged outside the fingerprint detection device 30, which leads to an increase in size and cost of the device. As in recent years, increasing the cost and increasing the size of a fingerprint detection device mounted on a mobile phone or a mobile information terminal has become a major obstacle to mounting the fingerprint detection device on the mobile phone and the mobile information terminal.

An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device and a fingerprint detecting device which can be made small and thin and which is low in cost even if it has an opening to the outside and a storage device.
