Abstract:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit sensor package comprising the steps of:mounting a substrate on a first mold block, the substrate comprising a substantially planar material having a first substrate surface on a first side and a second substrate surface on an opposing second side, such that the second substrate surface contacts a mounting surface of the first mold block; placing an adhesive on the first substrate surface; placing an integrated circuit sensor on the adhesive; and pressing a second mold block against at least a portion of the first substrate surface and pressing a clamping block associated with the first mold block against at least a portion of the second substrate surface using a shaft, the second mold block comprising a cavity portion for receiving the integrated circuit sensor, a contact surface surrounding the cavity portion, and a compliant layer mounted with the cavity portion, wherein pressing the second mold block against the first substrate surface and pressing the clamping block against the second substrate surface causes the contact surface to form with the first substrate surface a seal surrounding the integrated circuit sensor and further causes the compliant layer to press against a sensor array surface of the integrated circuit sensor, thereby pressing the integrated circuit sensor into the adhesive and the first substrate surface.
