A semiconductor package and a method for forming a semiconductor package are disclosed. The semiconductor package includes a multi-layer package substrate having interconnect structures embedded therein. A sensor chip having an image sensing element is disposed on a top surface of the package substrate, and an integrated circuit is mounted to a bottom surface of the package substrate. The integrated circuit is a flip-chip assembly. The sensor chip is electrically connected to the integrated circuit. An adhesive material bonds a transparent covering member to the sensor chip to enclose the image sensing element.
