Abstract

An image sensor package includes a molding having a locking feature. The package further includes a snap lid having a tab, where the tab is attached to the locking feature of the molding. To form the image sensor package, a window is placed in a pocket of the molding. The snap lid is secured in place. Once secured, the snap lid presses against a peripheral region of an exterior surface of the window. The window is sandwiched between the molding and the snap lid and held in place.
