Implementations of semiconductor packages may include: a digital signal processor having a first side and a second side and an image sensor array, having a first side and a second side. The first side of the image sensor array may be coupled to the second side of the digital signal processor through a plurality of hybrid bond interconnect (HBI) bond pads and an edge seal. One or more openings may extend from the second side of the image sensor array into the second side of the digital signal processor to an etch stop layer in the second side of the digital signal processor. The one or more openings may form a second edge seal between the plurality of HBI bond pads and the edge of the digital signal processor.

Edge seals for semiconductor packages

An electronic device may include a sensing circuit and a current subtraction circuit. The sensing circuit may output first and second current signals. The current subtraction circuit may mirror the first and second current signals onto first and second current branches. The second current branch may be split into a first sub-path and a second sub-path. An amplifier may control the amount of current flowing through the second sub-path by forcing the current flowing through the first current branch and the current flowing through the first sub-path to be identical. Configured in this way, the current flowing through the second sub-path will be equal to the difference between the first and second current signals. The current flowing through the second sub-path may be optionally amplified using another current mirror.
