A process for manufacturing encapsulated optical sensors, and an encapsulated optical sensor manufactured using this process

摘要

A process for manufacturing encapsulated optical sensors, including the steps of: forming a plurality of mutually spaced optical sensors (24) in a wafer (10) of semiconductor material; bonding a plate (30) of transparent material to the wafer (10) so as to seal the optical sensors (24); and dividing the wafer (10) into a plurality of dice (40), each comprising an optical sensor (24) and a respective portion (41) of the plate (30).
