Abstract

A method of fabricating a flip chip image sensor package includes forming an aperture in a substrate and mounting an image sensor to the substrate. The image sensor is mounted such that an active area of the image sensor is aligned with the aperture. A bead is formed around a periphery of the image sensor. An aperture side of the aperture, the image sensor, and the bead define a pocket. The method further includes filling the pocket with a transparent liquid encapsulant and hardening the transparent liquid encapsulant. The hardened transparent liquid encapsulant serves as the window for the flip chip image sensor package.
