Abstract
Disclosed are packaging methods for the fabrication of analytical device packages and fabricated analytical device packages. The methods include providing a sensor wafer and mounting individual plates or a plate wafer on the sensor wafer. The sensor wafer includes sensor chips with aperture regions and is treated with selective depositions, either prior to or during the fabrication of the analytical device packages, to produce different surface characteristics at different portions of the aperture regions. Before dicing the sensor wafer, openings of the individual plates or the plate wafer are covered by a protective layer to protect surface characteristics at different portions of the aperture regions. A fabricated analytical device package includes a sensor chip with different surface characteristics, a plate, a packaging substrate and an optional cover.
