<p>A method for packaging a sensor device having a sensitive structure (2) integrated on a semiconductor chip (5) is provided. When molding the device package, an inward extending section (11) of the mold maintains an access opening to the sensor. A buffer layer (6) is arranged on the chip between the inward extending section (11) and the sensitive structure. The buffer layer (6) protects the sensitive structure (2) from damage by the inward extending section (11) and acts as a seal while casting the housing. The buffer layer (6) also covers at least part of the semiconductor electronic components of the circuitry (3) integrated onto the chip (5). By covering these components, mechanical stress, as it is e.g. caused by different thermal expansion coefficients of the packaging and the chip, can be reduced.</p> |
