Abstract:
An optical semiconductor package comprising:an electrical connection support plate that has a through-passage; a semiconductor component, a front face of which has an optical sensor and which is fixed to a rear face of the plate in such a way that its optical sensor is situated opposite the through-passage; means of electrical connection of the optical component to the support plate; means of encapsulation of the component on the rear face of the support plate; a lid, which is at least partly transparent, fixed to a front face of the support plate and covering the through-passage; external electrical connection means located on an exposed part of the support plate; a second semiconductor component, such as a microprocessor, a front face of which is fixed to a rear face of the optical component; means of electrical connection of this second component to the support plate; and means of encapsulation of the components stacked on the rear face of the support plate.
