A sensor package includes a sensor, at least one external wall, and an interposer, arranged between the sensor and the at least one external wall. The sensor is wire bonded to the interposer and the interposer is wire bonded to the at least one external wall. Using an interposer, wire bonded to both the sensor and the at least one external wall, is an improved approach to electrically connecting a sensor and a sensor package. The interposer allows for short wire bonds from the sensor and the at least one external wall to the interposer, replacing the single, long wire bond from the sensor to the at least one external wall in the prior art. This provides improved resilience of the sensor package under high stress. Furthermore, it allows an existing sensor and package combination to be improved without needing to redesign either component.

This disclosure provides devices and methods for 3-D device packaging with backside interconnections. One or more device elements can be hermetically sealed from an ambient environment, such as by vacuum lamination and bonding. One or more via connections provide electrical interconnection from a device element to a back side of a device substrate, and provide electrical interconnection from the device substrate to external circuitry on the back side of the device. The external circuitry can include a printed circuit board or flex circuit. In some implementations, an electrically conductive pad is provided on the back side, which is electrically connected to at least one of the via connections.
