Abstract

Methods for manufacturing microelectronic imaging units and microelectronic imaging units that are formed using such methods are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a plurality of imaging dies on a microfeature workpiece. The individual imaging dies include an image sensor, an integrated circuit operably coupled to the image sensor, and a plurality of external contacts operably coupled to the integrated circuit. The method further includes attaching a plurality of covers to corresponding imaging dies, cutting the microfeature workpiece to singulate the imaging dies, and coupling the singulated dies to a support member. The covers can be attached to the imaging dies before or after the workpiece is cut.
