Abstract: A microelectromechanical force/pressure sensor has: a sensor die, of semiconductor material, having a front surface and a bottom surface, extending in a horizontal plane, and made of a compact bulk region having a thickness along a vertical direction, transverse to the horizontal plane; piezoresistive elements, integrated in the bulk region of the sensor die, at the front surface thereof; and a cap die, coupled above the sensor die, covering the piezoresistive elements, having a respective front surface and bottom surface, opposite to each other along the vertical direction, the bottom surface facing the front surface of the sensor die. A conversion layer is arranged between the front surface of the sensor die and the bottom surface of the cap die, patterned to define a groove traversing its entire thickness along the vertical direction; the piezoresistive elements are arranged vertically in correspondence to the groove and the conversion layer is designed to convert a load applied to the front surface of the cap die and/or bottom surface of the sensor die along the vertical direction into a planar stress distribution at the groove, acting in the horizontal plane.

Abstract: A stress sensor formed by a membrane plate; a first bonding region arranged on top of the membrane plate; a cover plate arranged on top of the first bonding region, the first bonding region bonding the membrane plate to the cover plate; three-dimensional piezoresistive elements extending across the membrane plate that are embedded in the bonding layer; and planar piezoresistive elements that extend across the membrane plate and are surrounded by and separated from the bonding layer.
