The patent US11990494B2 describes a novel package structure that integrates multiple components to enhance functionality and performance. The structure includes a first die with a silicon substrate and a die pad, featuring an active surface with a sensing area. A second die is positioned such that its back surface faces the back surface of the first die. The assembly is encapsulated, with a dam structure that exposes the sensing area, and a light-transmitting sheet placed on top. The design incorporates conductive connectors and circuit layers that facilitate electrical connections between the dies, utilizing through silicon vias for efficient signal transmission. Additionally, an insulating layer penetrates the silicon substrate, ensuring electrical isolation while maintaining connectivity to the die pad.

Further claims detail enhancements to the package structure, such as the inclusion of a die connector on the second die that is coplanar with the encapsulating surface. The second circuit layer can be positioned between the first and second dies, optimizing space and functionality. The design also creates an enclosed space formed by the first die, dam structure, and light-transmitting sheet, with specific air pressure conditions maintained within this space and a gas gap. This innovative approach aims to improve the overall performance of the package structure, potentially benefiting applications that require precise sensing and efficient electrical connections.
