Abstract

An integrated circuit package for an integrated circuit having one or more sensor elements in a sensor element area of the circuit. An encapsulation covers bond wires but leaves an opening over the sensor element area. A protection layer is provided over the integrated circuit over which the encapsulation extends, and it has a channel around the sensor element area to act as a trap for any encapsulation material which has crept into the opening area.
