Patent 9136258 was granted and assigned to Maxim Integrated Products on September, 2015 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An optical sensor device, system, and method are described that include a substrate, an electronic device disposed on the substrate, a molding layer, a lens, and a light-emitting diode (LED) package disposed on the substrate and at least partially over the sensor and molding layer. The LED package can include an LED substrate, an LED, a lens disposed on the LED, and electrical interconnections for coupling the LED to the substrate. In implementations, a process for fabricating the optical sensor device includes backgrinding a sensor die to a slim profile; attaching the sensor die onto a substrate; placing a molding layer on the sensor die; forming a lens on the molding layer; and placing an assembled light-emitting diode package on the substrate and at least partially over the sensor die and molding layer, where the assembled light-emitting diode package includes a 3D substrate.
