Abstract:
1. A method for assembling an electronic device package comprising: forming a package shell having an aperture formed in a first surface thereof and a second-side cavity formed in a second surface thereof and in communication with the aperture, the second-side cavity having an outside perimeter that is larger than an outside perimeter of the aperture to form a cavity first surface in the second-side cavity; forming at least one solder pad on at least the second surface of the package shell; mounting an optically interactive microelectronic device having an active surface within the second-side cavity such that at least a portion of the active surface is exposed through the aperture and the second surface of the package shell protrudes beyond the optically interactive microelectronic device, wherein mounting an optically interactive microelectronic device comprises: depositing a transparent encapsulant within the aperture to cover the at least a portion of the active surface exposed therethrough; and covering the aperture with a transparent lid.
