A chip package having die pads with protective layers is provided. At least one protective layer is covering and arranged at a peripheral zone of at least one die pad for minimizing area of the die pad exposed outside as well as shielding and protecting the peripheral zone of the die pad. A weld zone of the die pad is not covered by the protective layer so that the weld zone of the die pad is exposed. In a crossed-over state, one of bonding wires crossing one of the die pads with a corresponding connection pad of a carrier plate will not get across a second upper space defined by the weld zone of the rest of the die pads. Thereby the one of the bonding wires can be more isolated by the protective layers on the peripheral zones of the rest of the die pads.
