  • Patent number: 10748883
    Abstract: An encapsulation cover for an electronic package includes a cover body having a frontal wall provided with at least one optical element allowing light to pass through. The optical element is inserted into the encapsulation cover by overmolding into a through-passage of the frontal wall. A front face of the optical element is set back with respect to a front face of the frontal wall. The process for fabricating the encapsulation cover includes forming a stack of a sacrificial spacer on top of an optical element, with the stack placed into a cavity of a mold.

  • Publication number: 20190267349
    Abstract: Individual electronic units are formed by cutting a collective assembly. A collective support plate is provided which includes electronic chips. A collective cover plate is provided which includes ribs defining recesses. The collective assembly is formed by mounting the collective cover plate to the collective support plate in a manner where the electronic chips are located in the recesses and the ribs are located between electronic chips. A bead of glue is interposed between ends of the ribs and the surface of the collective support plate. After the glue is hardened, a cutting operation is performed on the collective assembly by cutting through the ribs and the collective support plate to produce the individual electronic units.
