Patent ID: 6893169

Claim:
A method for fabricating an optical semiconductor package, said method comprising the steps of: providing an electrical connection support plate having a passage that passes through the support plate; fixing a periphery of a front face of a first semiconductor component to a rear face of the electrical connection support plate such that the first semiconductor component covers the passage in the support plate; electrically connecting the first semiconductor component to the rear face of the support plate; molding an encapsulation block for the first semiconductor component on the rear face of the support plate; fixing a rear face of a second semiconductor component directly to the front face of the first semiconductor component such that the second semiconductor component passes through the passage in the support plate, the second semiconductor component having a front face with an optical sensor; electrically connecting the second semiconductor component to a front face of the support plate; and providing an encapsulation for the second semiconductor component on the front face of the support plate, the encapsulation for the second semiconductor component being at least partially transparent.
