    Abstract: A compact microelectronic gas sensor module includes electrical contacts formed in such a way that they do not consume real estate on an integrated circuit chip. Using such a design, the package can be miniaturized further. The gas sensor is packaged together with a custom-designed Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) that provides circuitry for processing sensor signals to identify gas species within a sample under test. In one example, the output signal strength of the sensor is enhanced by providing an additional metal surface area in the form of pillars exposed to an electrolytic gas sensing compound, while reducing the overall package size. In some examples, bottom side contacts are formed on the underside of the substrate on which the gas sensor is formed. Sensor electrodes may be electrically coupled to the ASIC directly, or indirectly by vias.

    Abstract: A proximity sensor includes a printed circuit board substrate, a semiconductor die, electrical connectors, a lens, a light emitting assembly, and an encapsulating layer. The semiconductor die is positioned over the printed circuit board substrate with its upper surface facing away from the printed circuit board substrate. Each of the electrical connectors is in electrical communication with a contact pad of the semiconductor die and a respective contact pad of the printed circuit board substrate. The lens is positioned over a sensor area of the semiconductor die. The light emitting assembly includes a light emitting device having a light emitting area, a lens positioned over the light emitting area, and contact pads facing the printed circuit board substrate. The encapsulating layer is positioned on the printed circuit board substrate, at least one of the electrical connectors, the semiconductor die, the lens, and the light emitting assembly.
