OPTICAL SENSOR PACKAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18179744 titled 'OPTICAL SENSOR PACKAGE
The abstract describes an optical sensor module with a protective dam made of photosensitive epoxy materials to create a gap between the lid and the sensor die. The epoxy materials can change between liquid and solid phases during assembly and can be fully hardened by curing. The protective dam can be a single layer or a multi-layer stack with different properties, acting as a spacer to minimize the tilt angle of the lid with respect to the sensor.

Original Abstract Submitted
An optical sensor module includes a transparent lid spaced apart from the optical sensor die by a protective dam. The dam can be formed by photosensitive epoxy materials that can be patterned using a photolithography process. The epoxy materials can change between liquid and solid phases during assembly, and then can be fully hardened by curing. The protective dam can be formed as a single layer, or as a multi-layer stack of epoxy materials, in which the layers may have different properties. In some implementations, the epoxy dam acts as a spacer that provides a substantially uniform gap to minimize a tilt angle of the transparent lid with respect to the optical sensor.
