A non-ceramic image sensor semiconductor package with improved moisture resistance, lower cost, higher reliability, and lower profile is provided. A semiconductor chip with a vision chip active area is attached to a multi-layer resin mask organic substrate. A plurality of bonding wires are attached between conductive parts of the semiconductor chip and the multi-layer resin mask organic substrate to create selective electrical connections. A transparent window is placed on top of the semiconductor chip and covers the vision chip active area. A wire shielding block is formed on the multi-layer resin mask organic substrate around the semiconductor chip covering and protecting the bonding wires and the semiconductor chip not covered by the transparent window. A liquid encapsulant is formed to protectively seal the device but does not block the vision of the vision chip active area through the transparent window. Since no space is required between the vision chip active area, and the transparent window, the overall height of the device is reduced. This allows the image sensor semiconductor package of the present invention to be more compact.
