    Abstract: Tools and methods for making molded an optical integrated circuit including one or more waveguides are disclosed. In one embodiment, a molding die is provided that includes a substrate that has a topographically patterned first surface. A conformal protective film is provided over the first surface of the substrate. The substrate may be formed of silicon or gallium arsenide, and may be patterned using conventional semiconductor patterning techniques, such as plasma etching. The protective film may be metal (e.g., nickel or titanium), diamond, or some other hard material. Typically, a plurality of such molding dies are formed from a wafer of the substrate material. The die is pressed into a moldable material, such as thermal plastic, to form the wave guide(s) of the optical integrated circuit. A plurality of the dies may be mounted around the curved surface of a heated roller, and a heated tape of the waveguide material may be fed under the roller in a mass production process. Alternatively, the die may be mounted in an injection molding cavity, and the IOC may be formed by an injection molding process.

    Abstract: An image sensor package includes an image sensor having an active area and bond pads on a front surface of the image sensor. A window is mounted to the image sensor by flip chip bumps formed between the bond pads of the image sensor and interior traces on an interior surface of the window. The window has an area less than an area of the front surface of the image sensor. A bead is formed between the window and the front surface of the image sensor thus forming a sealed cavity in which the active area is located. The bead has sides coplanar with sides of the image sensor such that the image sensor package is chip size.

    Abstract: A method for forming an image sensor assembly includes forming a lead frame or Land Grid Array (LGA) integrally into a molded image sensor die package so that the lead frame or LGA is fully supported and structurally fortified by the molded image sensor die package. An image sensor die is then attached to the thus supported lead frame or LGA using a standard flip-chip connection.

    Abstract: An image sensor package includes an image sensor having an active area, a window, and a window support in contact with the active area and in contact with the window. The window support entirely encloses, and thus protects, the active area of the image sensor. During use, radiation passes through the window, passes through the window support, and strikes the active area, which responds to the radiation. By forming the window and the window support to have a similar refractive index, the amount of reflected radiation is minimized thus enhancing the sensitivity of the image sensor package. Further, the window support completely fills the region between the window and the active area thus eliminating any possibility of moisture condensation within the image sensor package.

    Abstract: To form an image sensor package, a series of shallow cuts are made in an interior surface of a window sheet having a plurality of windows. A window support layer is formed on an upper surface of a wafer having a plurality of image sensors. The interior surface of the window sheet is pressed into the window support layer such that the windows are above active areas of the image sensors. The shallow cuts in combination with the window support layer define cavities above bond pads of the image sensors. The window sheet is cut from an exterior surface directly opposite of the cavities above the bond pads to singulating the windows from one another. The wafer is then singulated to form a plurality of image sensor packages.
