Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLC
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A semiconductor package comprising:
a digital signal processor, comprising a first side and a second side;
an image sensor array comprising a first side and a second side;
a first plurality of hybrid bond interconnect (HBI) bond pads comprised in the digital signal processor;
a second plurality of HBI bond pads comprised in the image sensor array;
an edge seal comprised in the image sensor array and the digital signal processor;
a first metal stack comprised within the digital signal processor;
a second metal stack comprised within the image sensor array; and
a via bar having a width that is smaller than a width of each HBI bond pad of the first plurality of HBI bond pads and the second plurality of HBI bond pads;
wherein the digital image signal processor is coupled to the image sensor array through the first plurality of HBI bond pads and the second plurality of HBI bond pads;
wherein the via bar electrically couples the first metal stack and the second metal stack;
wherein the via bar forms an additional seal inside the edge seal; and
wherein the width of the via bar is less than a widest width of the first metal stack and is less than a widest width of the second metal stack.
