A semiconductor package includes a substrate, and a semiconductor die flip
chip mounted to the substrate. The package also includes substrate
circuitry on a circuit side of the substrate, die circuitry on a back
side of the die, terminal contacts on the die circuitry, bonded
connections between the substrate circuitry and the die circuitry, and an
encapsulant on the bonded connections and edges of the die. The die can
include an image sensor on the circuit side configured to receive
electromagnetic radiation transmitted through the substrate. A method for
fabricating the package includes the step of providing a wafer with
multiple dice, forming the die circuitry on the dice, and simulating the
wafer into individual dice. The method also includes the steps of
providing a substrate panel with multiple substrates, forming the
substrate circuitry on the substrates, flip chip bonding the dice to the
substrates, forming bonded connections between the dice and the
substrates, forming the terminal contacts on the die circuitry, and
singulating the panel into separate components.
