A semiconductor device has a substrate and a first electrical component including a sensing region disposed over the substrate. The sensing region can be responsive to external stimuli, such as pressure. A cover lid is disposed over the first electrical component and extending to the substrate with an opening in the cover lid aligned over the sensing region. A gel material is disposed within the opening of the cover lid to seal the sensing region with respect to an environment condition, such as liquid. A bond wire is coupled between the first electrical component and substrate. An adhesive layer is disposed around a perimeter of the sensing area and the cover lid is bonded to the adhesive layer. A second electrical component is disposed on the substrate and the first electrical component is disposed on the second electrical component.
