Abstract
A wafer-level packaged magnetic sensor device includes: a first semiconductor substrate having a processing circuit configured for receiving a plurality of sensor signals, and for determining at least one difference signal, and for providing an output signal derived from said difference signal. A plurality of sensor substrates include a second semiconductor substrate with a first magnetic sensor, and a third semiconductor substrate with a second magnetic sensor the first semiconductor substrate being arranged at a location between the plurality of sensor substrates. The substrates are electrically connected by means of at least one redistribution layer.
