Methods of forming integrated circuit packages having an LED molded into
the package, and the integrated circuit package formed thereby. An
integrated circuit including one or more semiconductor die, passive
components and an LED may be assembled on a panel. The one or more
semiconductor die, passive components and LED may all then be
encapsulated in a molding compound, and the integrated circuits then
singularized to form individual integrated circuit packages. The
integrated circuits are cut from the panel so that a portion of the lens
of the LED is severed during the singularization process, and an end of
the lens remaining within the package lies flush with an edge of the
package to emit light outside of the package.
