20090057799 | Sensor semiconductor device and method for fabricating the same - A sensor semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same are provided. At least one sensor chip is mounted and electrically connected to a lead frame. A first and a second encapsulation molding processes are sequentially performed to form a transparent encapsulant for encapsulating the sensor chip and a part of the lead frame and to form a light-impervious encapsulant for encapsulating the transparent encapsulant.
