Abstract: A microelectromechanical transducer includes a semiconductor body having first and second surfaces opposite to one another. A plurality of trenches extend in the semiconductor body from the first surface towards the second surface, including a first pair of trenches having a respective main direction of extension along a first axis, and a second pair of trenches having a respective main direction of extension along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. A first piezoresistive sensor and a second piezoresistive sensor extend at the first surface of the semiconductor body respectively arranged between the first and second pair of trenches. The first piezoresistive sensor, the second piezoresistive sensor and the plurality of trenches form an active region. A first structural body is mechanically coupled to the first surface of the semiconductor body to form a first sealed cavity which encloses the active region.

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: In an embodiment of the present invention, a load sensor package includes a housing having a cap, a column, a peripheral structure, and a base. The base includes a major surface configured to mount a stress sensor, while the cap includes a cap major surface configured to receive a load to be measured. The column is configured to transfer a predetermined fraction of the load to be measured to the base through the stress sensor. The peripheral structure is configured to transfer the remaining fraction of the load to be measured to the base.

Abstract: A microelectronic device includes a chip housing a functional part and carrying first electrical contact regions in electrical connection with the functional part through first protected connections extending over or in the chip. A substrate has a first contact area and a second contact area, which is remote from the first contact area. The first contact area carries second electrical contact regions, and the second contact area carries external connection regions. The second contact regions and the external connection regions are in mutual electrical connection through second protected connections extending over or in the substrate. A protection-ring structure surrounds the first and second electrical contact regions and delimits a first chamber closed with respect to the outside. The first electrical contact regions and the second electrical contact regions are in mutual electrical contact.

Abstract: A pressure sensor with double measuring scale includes: a flexible body designed to undergo deflection as a function of a the pressure; piezoresistive transducers for detecting the deflection; a first focusing region designed to concentrate, during a first operating condition, a first value of the pressure in a first portion of the flexible body so as to generate a deflection of the first portion of the flexible body; and a second focusing region designed to concentrate, during a second operating condition, a second value of said pressure in a second portion of the flexible body so as to generate a deflection of the second portion of the flexible body. The piezoresistive transducers correlate the deflection of the first portion of the flexible body to the first pressure value and the deflection of the second portion of the flexible body to the second pressure value.

Abstract: A load-sensing device is arranged in a package forming a chamber. The package has a deformable substrate configured, in use, to be deformed by an external force. A sensor unit is positioned in direct contact with the deformable substrate and is configured to detect deformations of the deformable substrate. An elastic element within of the chamber is arranged to act between the package and the sensor unit to generate, on the sensor unit, a force keeping the sensor unit in contact with the deformable substrate. The deformable substrate may be a base of the package, and the elastic element may be a metal lamina arranged between the lid of the package and the sensor unit. The sensor unit may be a semiconductor die integrating piezoresistors.
