Abstract

Microelectronic imaging devices and methods of packaging microelectronic imaging devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a microelectronic imaging device includes a microelectronic die having an integrated circuit, an image sensor electrically coupled to the integrated circuit, and a plurality of bond-pads electrically coupled to the integrated circuit. The imaging device further includes a cover over the image sensor and a plurality of interconnects in and/or on the cover that are electrically coupled to corresponding bond-pads of the die. The interconnects provide external electrical contacts for the bond-pads of the die. The interconnects can extend through the cover or along a surface of the cover.
