Abstract
Image sensor packages are fabricated simultaneously to minimize the cost associated with each individual image sensor package. To fabricate the image sensor packages, windows are molded in molding compound to form a molded window array. A substrate includes a plurality of individual substrates integrally connected together in an array format. Image sensors are attached and electrically connected to corresponding individual substrates. An adhesive layer attaches the molded window array to the substrate. The substrate and attached molded window array are singulated into a plurality of individual image sensor packages.
