  • Patent number: 10833208
    Abstract: A cover for an electronic package is manufactured by placing an optical insert, having opposite faces and configured to allow light radiation to pass therethrough, between two opposite faces of a cavity of a mold in a position such that said optical faces of the optical insert make contact with said opposite faces of the cavity of the mold. A coating material is injected into the cavity and around the optical insert. The coating material is set to obtain a substrate that is overmolded around the optical insert so as to produce the cover. An electronic package includes an electronic chip mounted to a support substrate with the cover formed by the overmolded substrate mounted to the support substrate.

  • 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: 20200258850
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an electronic device includes fixing a rear face of an integrated-circuit chip to a front face of a support wafer. An infused adhesive is applied in the form of drops or segments that are separated from each other. A protective wafer is applied to the infused adhesive, and the infused adhesive is cured. The infused adhesive includes a curable adhesive and solid spacer elements infused in the curable adhesive. A closed intermediate peripheral ring is deposited on the integrated-circuit chip outside the cured infused adhesive, and an encapsulation block is formed such that it surrounds the chip, the protective wafer and the closed intermediate peripheral ring.

  • Publication number: 20200098958
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a carrier substrate having a front face and an electronic chip mounted on the front face. An encapsulation cover is mounted above the front face and bounds a chamber in which the chip is situated. A front opening is provided in front of an optical component of the chip. An optical element, designed to allow light to pass, is mounted on the cover in a position which covers the front opening of the cover. The optical element includes a central region designed to deviate light and a positioning pattern that is visible through the front opening. An additional mask is mounted on the encapsulation cover in a position which extends in front of the optical element. A local opening of the additional mask is situated in front of the optical component.

  • Patent number: 10480994
    Abstract: A microchip has a rear face attached to a front mounting face of a support plate. An encapsulation cover for the microchip is mounted to the support plate. The encapsulation cover includes a front wall, a peripheral wall extending from the front wall and an inside partition extending from the front wall and between opposite sides of the peripheral wall. The inside partition passes locally above the microchip to delimit two cavities. A bonding material is interposed between encapsulation cover and the support plate and microchip. An end part of the inside partition of the cover, adjacent to the front face of the microchip, include an accumulation and containment recess that is configured to at least partly receive the bonding material.

  • Patent number: 10483181
    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip is mounted to a front face of a support plate. An encapsulation cap in then mounted to the support plate. The encapsulation cap includes a front wall and a peripheral wall having an end edge at least partly facing a peripheral zone of the support plate. The support plate and the encapsulation cap delimit a chamber in which the integrated circuit chip is situated. To mount the encapsulation cap, a bead of glue is inserted between the peripheral zone and the end edge of the peripheral wall of the encapsulation cap. A peripheral outer face of the encapsulation cap includes a recess extending from the end edge which locally uncovers a part of the bead of glue. A local hardening of the glue at the recess is performed as a first attachment step. Further hardening of the remainder of the glue is then performed.

  • Publication number: 20190280130
    Abstract: Encapsulating cover for an electronic package is formed by a cover body having a front wall and, positioned around a through-passage, a mounting face that includes a bearing surface. A mounting face of an optical element bears against the bearing surface. The mounting face includes at least one local void that is set back with respect to the bearing surface to provide a space between the mounting face of the optical element and the bottom of the local void. The local void extends beyond an edge of the optical element. A drop of fastening adhesive extends locally into said local void and has a portion that is covered by the optical element and an uncovered portion that is located beyond the edge of the optical element.

  • 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.
