Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a light transparent window in a package for an integrated circuit having elements erasable by light; comprising the steps of:placing a conformal window forming material on a surface of said integrated circuit containing said elements;placing said circuit and said conformal material in a cavity of a mold;causing a contact surface of said mold to engage a portion of said conformal window forming material at said contact surface, wherein said conformal window forming material has lateral sides between said contact surface and said integrated circuit;with said contact surface engaging said portion of said conformal material, inserting molding compound into said mold cavity, wherein said molding compound is formed to encapsulate said integrated circuit and said lateral sides;curing said molding material and said conformal window forming material to form said package; andremoving said package from said mold.
