Abstract

Implementations of an image sensor package may include an image sensor die including at least one bond pad thereon; a bond wire wirebonded to the at least one bond pad; and an optically transmissive lid coupled to the image sensor die with an optically opaque film adhesive over the at least one bond pad. The bond wire may extend through the optically opaque film adhesive to the at least one bond pad.

Claims (34)

1 . An image sensor package comprising:

an image sensor die comprising at least one bond pad thereon;

a bond wire wirebonded to the at least one bond pad; and

an optically transmissive lid coupled to the image sensor die with an optically opaque film adhesive over the at least one bond pad;

wherein the bond wire extends through the optically opaque film adhesive to the at least one bond pad.

2 . The package of claim 1 , further comprising a mold compound through which the bond wire extends and which contacts a sidewall of the image sensor die, the optically transmissive lid, and the optically opaque film adhesive.

3 . The package of claim 1 , further comprising a substrate coupled with the image sensor die.

4 . The package of claim 3 , further comprising a ball grid array underneath the substrate.

5 . The package of claim 1 , further comprising an air gap between the optically transmissive lid and the image sensor die.

6 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the optically opaque film adhesive extends across at least a portion of a non-active area of the image sensor die.

7 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the optically opaque film adhesive's opacity is achieved through the addition of a carbon black pigment.

8 . An image sensor package comprising:

an image sensor die;

an optically transmissive lid coupled to the image sensor die through an optically opaque film adhesive contacting at least a portion of a non-active area of the image sensor die; and

a bond wire extending through the optically opaque film adhesive.

9 . The package of claim 8 , further comprising a mold compound through which the bond wire extends and which contacts a sidewall of the image sensor die, the optically transmissive lid, and the optically opaque film adhesive.

10 . The package of claim 8 , further comprising a substrate coupled with the image sensor die.

11 . The package of claim 10 , further comprising a ball grid array underneath the substrate.

12 . The package of claim 8 , further comprising an air gap between the optically transmissive lid and the image sensor die.

13 . The package of claim 8 , wherein the optically opaque film adhesive extends across at least a portion of a bond pad of the image sensor die.

14 . The package of claim 10 , wherein the bond wire is wirebonded to the substrate.

15 . The package of claim 8 , wherein the optically opaque film adhesive's opacity is achieved through the addition of a carbon black pigment.

16 . An image sensor package comprising:

an image sensor die comprising at least one bond pad thereon;

a bond wire wirebonded to the at least one bond pad;

an optically transmissive lid coupled to the image sensor die with an optically opaque film adhesive over the at least one bond pad;

a mold compound coupled to the image sensor die, wherein the mold compound extends to an outermost sidewall of the package;

wherein the bond wire extends through the optically opaque film adhesive to the at least one bond pad;

wherein the bond wire extends through the mold compound; and

wherein the mold compound contacts a sidewall of the image sensor die, the optically transmissive lid, and the optically opaque film adhesive.

17 . The package of claim 16 , further comprising a substrate coupled with the image sensor die.

18 . The package of claim 17 , wherein an outermost perimeter of the mold compound and the substrate are equal.

19 . The package of claim 16 , further comprising a ball grid array underneath the substrate.

20 . The package of claim 16 , further comprising an air gap between the optically transmissive lid and the image sensor die.
