    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a fluid property sensing device is described. The fluid property sensing device includes a substrate having a trench formed therein. The trench includes a bottom surface and opposite side surfaces. A first electrode is disposed on a first side surface of the trench and a second electrode is disposed on a second side surface of the trench. The first electrode and second electrode form a capacitor to measure a complex impedance of a fluid that fills a space between the first electrode and the second electrode. This complex impedance indicates a property of the fluid. A fluid level sensing die, having a number of fluid level sensing components disposed thereon, may be attached to the substrate, preferably in such a way that the fluid level sensing die is surrounded by the trench. In this way the surface area of the electrodes provided in the trench can be increased. The number of level sensing components may be thermal sensing components.

    Abstract: A method of forming a fluid level sensor includes coupling an array of heating elements and sensors to a first side of a substrate. A second side of the substrate is coupled to a carrier. The method also includes coupling an electrical interface to the carrier and electrically coupling the array to the electrical interface via a conductive wire. The method further includes overmolding the electrical interface, the first side of the substrate, and the conductive wire to form an overmolded fluid level sensor. The carrier may be coupled to the second side of the substrate and the electrical interface via a releasable adhesive and may be removed after overmolding the fluid level sensor.
