Abstract

A sensor integrated circuit (IC) employing opposite facing ambient light sensor and proximity sensor, and related electronic devices and fabrication methods. As an example, the sensor IC can be integrated into an electronic device (e.g., a wearable device) to detect the proximity of a user and ambient light to control functions of the electronic device. To provide for the proximity sensor and the ambient light sensor to disposed in the sensor IC face outward in different (e.g., opposite) directions in a package to align towards a user and the user's experience of ambient light, the proximity sensor and the ambient light sensor are disposed on different sides of the sensor IC. In this manner, the ambient light sensor can be facing in the direction of ambient light perceived by a user of the electronic device, and the proximity sensor detect the user from a different side of the electronic device.
