1. A method of producing packaged optronic integrated circuit devices comprising: (a) providing a transparent protective layer overlying a first surface of a semiconductor wafer including a plurality of dies; (b) providing an insulating layer overlying a second surface of the wafer and having an outer surface facing away from the wafer; (c) forming contacts electrically connected to the dies, the contacts extending onto the outer surface of the insulating layer; and (d) separating the dies from one another, the step of forming the contacts being performed before completion of the step of separating the dies from one another. 2. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the step of separating the dies from one another includes forming notches extending through the wafer between the dies before forming the contacts and severing the transparent protective layer after forming the contacts. 3. A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the step of forming notches exposes pads of the dies in the notches and the step of forming contacts includes connecting the contacts to the pads in the notches.
