Abstract

An integrated circuit package system is provided including providing a wafer including image sensor systems having interconnects connected thereto and encapsulating the image sensor systems and interconnects in a transparent encapsulant. The system includes removing a portion of the transparent encapsulant to expose portions of the interconnects and singulating the wafer to form image sensor devices including at least one of the image sensor systems and a number of the interconnects.

Claims

1. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

an integrated circuit die including an image sensor system having interconnects connected thereto; and

a transparent encapsulant on the integrated circuit die with portions of the interconnects exposed and with only the transparent encapsulant over the image sensor system to comprise an image sensor device.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a substrate; and

the image sensor device mounted on the substrate with the interconnects connected to the substrate.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a substrate having an aperture provided therein; and

the image sensor device mounted on the substrate at least partially in the aperture with the interconnects connected to the substrate.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a substrate having an aperture provided therein and board substrate connectors on the bottom thereof; and

the image sensor device mounted on the substrate at least partially in the aperture and among the substrate connectors with the interconnects connected to the substrate.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a substrate having a dam around the periphery thereof;

the image sensor device mounted on the substrate with the interconnects connected to the substrate; and

a liquid encapsulant material around the image sensor device and filling the dam.

6. An integrated circuit package system comprising:

an integrated circuit die including image sensor systems having interconnects connected thereto; and

a transparent encapsulant encapsulating the image sensor systems with a notch to expose portions of the interconnects and with only the transparent encapsulant over the image sensor system to comprise an image sensor device.

7. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

a substrate having passive or active devices electrically connected thereto;

the image sensor device mounted face up on the substrate with the interconnects connected to the substrate by bonding wires; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the bonding wires.

8. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

a substrate having passive or active devices electrically connected thereto and having an aperture provided therein;

the image sensor device mounted face up or face down at least partially in the aperture with the interconnects connected to the substrate by bonding wires or electrical connections; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the bonding wires.

9. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

a substrate having passive or active devices electrically connected thereto and having an aperture provided therein and substrate connectors on the bottom thereof;

the image sensor device mounted face up at least partially in the aperture and among the substrate connectors with the interconnects connected to the substrate by bonding wires or electrical connections; and

an encapsulant encapsulating the bonding wires.

10. The system as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

a substrate having a dam around the periphery thereof;

the image sensor device mounted on the substrate with the interconnects connected to the substrate by bonding wires; and

a solidified liquid encapsulant material in the dam to cover the bonding wires.
