摘要:
A dielectric structure is formed by a molding process, so that a first surface of a dielectric structure is shaped by contact with the mold. The opposite second surface of the dielectric structure is applied onto the front surface of a wafer element. The dielectric layer may include protruding bumps and terminals may be formed on the bumps. The bumps may be of a precise height. The terminals lie at a precisely controlled height above the front surface of the wafer element. The terminals may include projecting posts which extend above a surrounding solder mask layer to facilitate engagement with a test fixture. The posts are immersed within solder joints when the structure is bonded to a circuit panel.

An image sensor package is disclosed that reduces the overall size of known image sensor packages. The image sensor package includes an image sensor and image sensor controller that are arranged on a substrate so that the surfaces of the image sensor and image sensor controller are directly adjacent one another. A package in accordance with the present invention reduces the amount of space in the package by allowing at least one surface of the image sensor controller and at least one surface of the image sensor to be directly attached or connected to one another. Electrical conductive material in the nature of anisotropic conductive materials is also preferably applied to the substrate in the form of an adhesive layer to allow for the image sensor controller and the image sensor to be in electrical communication with one another.
