Abstract

Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a substrate coupled to one or more die and to one or more connectors, a glass lid coupled over one or more die by an adhesive and a housing comprising one or more sides and a bottom opening and a top opening. The substrate may be coupled to the housing at the bottom opening and the glass lid may be coupled under the housing at the top opening.

Claims (42)

1. A method of making a semiconductor package, the method comprising:

providing a substrate;

coupling one or more die to the substrate;

electrically coupling the one or more die to the substrate using one or more connectors;

encapsulating one of the one or more connectors and at least a portion of one of the one or more die using a mold compound;

coupling an additional die to one of the one or more die after encapsulating at least a portion of the one of the one or more die;

electrically coupling the additional die to the substrate with one or more connectors;

coupling a glass lid to the additional die using an adhesive; and

simultaneously coupling a housing to the substrate at a bottom opening of the housing and over the glass lid at a top opening of the housing using an adhesive.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a ball grid array substrate.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the housing is made of an opaque material.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the housing is formed through one of injection molding, transfer molding and any combination thereof.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of ball mounts is coupled to a second side of the substrate opposing a side of the substrate coupled to the die.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coupling one or more lenses to the housing in an optical path of the glass lid.

7. A method of making a semiconductor package, the method comprising:

providing a substrate;

coupling a first die to the substrate;

electrically coupling the first die to the substrate using one or more connectors;

encapsulating one of the one or more connectors and at least a portion of the first die using a mold compound;

coupling a second die to the first die after encapsulating at least a portion of the first die;

electrically coupling the second die to the substrate with one or more connectors;

coupling a glass lid to the second die using an adhesive; and

simultaneously coupling a housing to the substrate at a bottom opening of the housing and over the glass lid at a top opening of the housing using an adhesive.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the substrate is a ball grid array substrate.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the housing is made of an opaque material.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the housing is formed through one of injection molding, transfer molding and any combination thereof.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein a plurality of ball mounts is coupled to a second side of the substrate opposing a side of the substrate coupled to the die.

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising coupling one or more lenses to the housing in an optical path of the glass lid.

13. A method of making a semiconductor package, the method comprising:

providing a substrate;

coupling a first die to the substrate;

electrically coupling the first die to the substrate using one or more connectors;

encapsulating one of the one or more connectors and at least a portion of the first die using a mold compound;

coupling a second die over the first die after encapsulating at least a portion of the first die;

electrically coupling the second die to the substrate with one or more connectors;

coupling a glass lid to the second die using an adhesive; and

simultaneously coupling a housing to the substrate at a bottom opening of the housing and over the glass lid at a top opening of the housing using an adhesive.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the substrate is a ball grid array substrate.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the housing is made of an opaque material.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the housing is formed through one of injection molding, transfer molding and any combination thereof.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein a plurality of ball mounts is coupled to a second side of the substrate opposing a side of the substrate coupled to the die.

18. The method of claim 13 , further comprising coupling one or more lenses to the housing in an optical path of the glass lid.
