Abstract:
A method of forming a window cap wafer (WCW) structure for semiconductor devices includes machining a plurality of cavities into a front side of a first substrate; bonding the first substrate to a second substrate, at the front side of the first substrate; removing a back side of the first substrate so as to expose the plurality of cavities, thereby defining the WCW structure comprising the second substrate and a plurality of vertical supports comprised of material of the first substrate.
Abstract:
A method of forming a wafer level packaged circuit device includes forming a device wafer, the device wafer including a first group of one or more material layers left remaining in a first region of a substrate of the device wafer; and forming a cap wafer configured to be attached to the device wafer, the cap wafer including a second group of one or more material layers left remaining in a second region of a substrate of the cap wafer; wherein a combined thickness of the first and second groups of one or more material layers defines an integrated bond gap control structure upon bonding of the device wafer and the cap wafer.

Abstract:
According to some embodiments, a camera includes a multi-chip system in a package (MCSiP). The MCSiP comprising a set of electronics, an encapsulate, and a plurality of interconnects. The set of electronics includes a plurality of bare integrated circuit dies and other passive or active electronic components. Each die is operable to provide a functional component of a computing system operable to receive a signal describing electromagnetic radiation detected by an imaging sensor and facilitate generating an image according to the signal. The encapsulate comprises an adhesive molding compound deposited outwardly from the set of electronics in order to hold the set of electronics in position. The interconnects communicatively couple each die to other dies, the other electronic components, or components external to the MCSiP.
