1. A micro machined accelerometer package including:

  • a chip having a top surface and a bottom surface and having a micro machined accelerometer formed in the chip, the accelerometer including a mass cantilevered from the remainder of the chip to be movable out of the plane of the chip;

    a first hollow molded cap bonded to the top surface over at least part of the accelerometer to define a first cavity into which the cantilevered mass may move, wherein the first molded cap has been bonded to the chip at the wafer stage prior to separation of the wafer into individual chips.
