Abstract:
1. A method for assembling at least one package containing an electronic device sensitive to light or other radiation comprising: mounting the electronic device on a carrier substrate comprising a contiguous planar structure having at least one conductive trace thereon, the at least one conductive trace having a first end comprising a terminal pad on a first surface of the carrier substrate and a second end comprising an attachment pad on a second, opposing surface of the carrier substrate; providing at least one electrical interconnection between a bond pad on the electronic device and the first end of the at least one conductive trace; forming a molded barrier on the carrier substrate prior to mounting the electronic device, the molded barrier surrounding a central exposed area that contains the electronic device and the at least one electrical interconnection; and filling the central exposed area of the molded barrier with a clear compound to form a transparent shell that encapsulates the electronic device, the bond pad, and the at least one electrical interconnection.
