  • Patent number: 7736930
    Abstract: An optical sensor package that includes an optical sensor die is mounted by flip chip interconnect onto a lead frame in a “die-down” orientation, that is, with the active side of the optical sensor die facing the lead frame. An opening is provided in the lead frame die paddle (pad), and light passes from outside the package through the opening in the lead frame die pad onto light collection elements on the active side of the chip.

  • Patent number: 6858933
    Abstract: An injection mold is provided for encapsulating an integrated circuit chip to form a semiconductor package. The injection mold includes at least one injection cavity for housing the chip, and an insert having a front part that forms part of the wall of the injection cavity. A transverse surface of the insert has a roughness that is chosen such that the face of the semiconductor package has a suitable roughness in a corresponding region. Also provided is a semiconductor package that includes an encapsulation block and an integrated circuit chip. The material of the encapsulation block is transparent. One face of the chip includes an optical sensor and lies parallel to a transverse face of the encapsulation block. The transverse face of the encapsulation block includes a region that has a roughness that is less than the roughness of at least the rest of the transverse face.

  • Patent number: 6696006
    Abstract: An injection mold is provided for injection molding an encapsulation material to encapsulate at least one integrated circuit chip. The injection mold includes at least two parts that define at least one injection circuit, and at least one blind complementary channel communicating with the injection circuit. The injection circuit includes at least one injection cavity for housing the chip, at least one transfer chamber from which the encapsulation material is injected, and at least one injection channel connecting the transfer chamber to the injection cavity. The blind complementary channel is formed between the two parts of the mold and forms at least one appendage of encapsulation material that is connected to the encapsulation material that fills the injection circuit. Also provided is a method for injection molding an encapsulation material to encapsulate at least one integrated circuit chip.
