Abstract
Optical semiconductor package ( ) and process for fabricating an optical semiconductor package, in which an electrical connection support plate has a through-passage ( ); a semiconductor component ( ), a front face ( ) of which has an optical sensor and which is fixed to a rear face of the plate in such a way that its optical sensor is situated opposite the through-passage; electrical connection ( ) connects the optical component to the support plate; the component is encapsulated on the rear face of the support plate; a lid ( ), which is at least partially transparent, is fixed to a front face of the support plate and covers the through-passage; and external electrical connections ( ) are located on an exposed part of the support plate. Furthermore, another semiconductor component ( ) may be fixed to the rear face of the support plate ( ) and electrically connected, to the latter, this component also being encapsulated ( ).
