Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to embodiments of sensor package including a doped resin on respective surfaces and sidewalls of a transparent portion, a sensor die, and a support structure extending from the transparent portion to the sensor die. The support structure suspends the transparent portion over a sensor of the sensor die. The doped resin is doped with an additive material, and the additive material is activated by exposing the doped resin to a laser. The doped resin is exposed to the laser forming conductive layers extending along the doped resin for providing electrical connections within the sensor package and to electronic components external to the embodiments of the sensor die packages. The conductive layers are at least partially covered by a non-conductive layer.
