Abstract:
1. A mold for fabricating an integrated circuit sensor package comprising: a first mold block comprising a mounting surface for mounting thereon a substrate, said 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, wherein said second substrate surface contacts said mounting surface of said first mold block; a second mold block comprising: 1) a cavity portion suitable for receiving an integrated circuit sensor disposed on said first substrate surface; 2) a contact surface surrounding said cavity portion suitable for forming a seal with said first substrate surface; and 3) a compliant layer mounted with said cavity portion; and a clamping block capable of being pressed against at least a portion of said second substrate surface; wherein pressing said second mold block against said first substrate surface and said clamping block against said second substrate surface causes said contact surface to form said seal with said first substrate surface, wherein said seal surrounds said integrated circuit sensor, and wherein said pressing further causes said compliant layer to press against a sensor array surface of said integrated circuit sensor.
