Abstract
The invention relates to a fingerprint sensing device comprising a sensing chip comprising an array of capacitive sensing elements. The sensing device comprises a coating material arranged in a layer on top of the array of sensing elements, the coating material comprising a plurality of cavities filled with a mold material; wherein locations of the cavities correspond to locations of the sensing elements, such that a cross-section area of a cavity covers at least a portion of an area of a corresponding sensing element; and wherein a dielectric constant of the mold material is higher than a dielectric constant of the coating material. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a device.
