1. A method comprising:
- applying a drop to an active area of an image sensor, wherein an image sensor substrate comprises image sensors integrally connected together, said image sensors comprising said image sensor;
pressing a window into said drop to form a window support; and
singulating said image sensor substrate subsequent to said pressing.

Abstract
A drop is applied to an active area of an image sensor. A window is pressed into the drop to form a window support. The window support is then cured, or otherwise set-up, to form an image sensor package. During use, radiation is directed at the image sensor package. This radiation passes through the window, passes through the window support, and strikes the active area, which responds to the radiation. The window and the window support are transparent to the radiation.

11. A method comprising:
-
applying a drop to an active area of an image sensor, wherein said image sensor comprises bond pads on a first surface of said image sensor, said bond pads defining a central region of said first surface inwards of said bond pads, said active area being located within said central region; and
pressing a window into said drop to form a window support comprising squeezing said drop with said window in a first direction towards said active area, wherein said drop has a volume sufficient to have said window support entirely cover said active area and insufficient to have said window support extend over any of said bond pads.

12. A method comprising:
-
attaching a single sheet comprising a first window and a second window to a support;
scoring said single sheet between said first window and said second window with a first cut;
cutting through said single sheet with a second cut in said first cut to singulate said first window from said second window;
removing said first window from said support;
applying a drop to an active area of an image sensor; and
pressing said first window into said drop to form a window support. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
