Abstract:
A sensor package includes a packaging formed by a package bottom, first and second sidewalls extending upwardly from first and second opposite sides of the package bottom, and third and fourth sidewalls extending upwardly from third and fourth opposite sides of the package bottom, the sidewalls and package bottom defining a cavity. An integrated circuit is attached to the package bottom. A plate extends between two of the sidewalls within the cavity and is spaced apart from the package bottom. Sensors are attached to a top surface of the plate on opposite sides of an opening. Wire bondings electrically connect pads on a top face of the sensor to corresponding pads on a top face of the integrated circuit, for example by passing through the opening in the plate or passing past a side end of the plate. A lid extends across and between the sidewalls to close the cavity.

A support substrate has a face above which at least one electronic component is fixed. A peripheral area of the face includes an annular local metal layer. An encapsulating cover for the electronic component includes a peripheral wall having an end edge that is mounted above the peripheral area. The annular metal local layer includes, at the periphery thereof, a series of spaced-apart teeth with notches formed therebetween. The teeth extend as far as the peripheral edge of the support substrate.

An electronic device includes an integrated circuit chip mounted to a heat slug. The heat slug has a peripheral region having first thickness along a first direction, the peripheral region surrounding a recess region (having a second, smaller, thickness along the first direction) that defines a chip mounting surface along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The recess region defines side borders and a nook extends into the heat slug along the side borders. An insulating body embeds the integrated circuit one chip and heat slug. Material of the insulating body fills the nook.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor package with an one or more dice present within a transparent resin, which may be an epoxy-based transparent resin or a silicone-based transparent resin, includes coupling the one or more dice to respective surfaces of a plurality of base portions of a panel substrate. Each one of the respective surfaces is between ones of a plurality of walls of the panel substrate that protrude from the respective surfaces of the panel substrate. A plurality of wirebonds may be formed to provide electrical pathways between the one or more dice and conductive structures of the panel substrate accessible at the respective surfaces of the panel substrate. A transparent resin may be formed to fill recesses or cavities between ones of the plurality of walls, and the panel substrate may then be singulated along the plurality of walls.
