Zusammenfassung:	A method is presented for forming multiple surface mount technology (SMT) sensor packages in a panel for separation into individual SMT sensor packages. A base plate is mapped as a grid of sensor footprints, and each footprint is populated with electronic and sensor components. A cover plate including window elements is mapped to a similar grid. The cover plate is bonded to the base plate, such that the window elements are positioned to allow incident electromagnetic radiation upon corresponding sensors mounted on the printed circuit board. Each sensor footprint is sealed within a recess or cell beneath the cover. The sensor circuits may be tested before and/or after being separated into individual SMT sensor packages.
