  • Patent number: 11508776
    Abstract: An image sensor semiconductor package (package) includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS) die has a first surface with a photosensitive region and a second surface opposite the first surface of the CIS die. The second surface of the CIS die is coupled with the first surface of the PCB. A transparent cover is coupled over the photosensitive region of the CIS die. An image signal processor (ISP) is embedded within the PCB. One or more electrical couplers electrically couple the CIS die with the PCB. A plurality of electrical contacts on the second surface of the PCB are electrically coupled with the CIS die and with the ISP. The ISP is located between the plurality of electrical contacts of the second surface of the PCB and the CIS die.

  • Publication number: 20170345862
    Abstract: Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a first semiconductor die coupled to a first side of a substrate having one or more internal traces. One or more connectors coupled to the first semiconductor die and the first side of the substrate. A glass lid coupled to the first side of the substrate over the first semiconductor die. A mold compound that encapsulates at least a portion of the substrate. A second semiconductor die coupled to a second side of the substrate opposing the first side. The second semiconductor die is electrically coupled with the first semiconductor die through the one or more traces of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 8981511
    Abstract: A multi-chip package may include an image sensor chip, an image signal processor (ISP) chip, a cover glass, and a package substrate. The ISP chip may be placed on the substrate. The image sensor chip may be placed over the ISP chip. An adhesive film may be formed between the ISP and image sensor chips. A cover glass may be suspended above the image sensor chip. The ISP chip and the image sensor chip may be wire bonded to the substrate. The multi-chip package may be hermetically sealed using a liquid compound or a dam structure. During normal operation, the ISP chip sends control signals to the image sensor chip via a first set of wire bond members and conductive traces in the substrate while the image sensor chip sends output signals to the ISP chip via a second set of wire bond terminals and conductive traces in the substrate.
