    摘要: The sensor geometry for improved package stress isolation is disclosed. A counterbore on the backing plate improves stress isolation properties of the sensor. The counterbore thins the wall of the backing plate maintaining the contact area with the package. The depth and diameter of the counterbore can be adjusted to find geometry for allowing the backing plate to absorb more package stresses. Thinning the wall of the backing plate make it less rigid and allows the backing plate to absorb more of the stresses produced at the interface with the package. The counterbore also keeps a large surface area at the bottom of the backing plate creating a strong bond with the package.

    摘要: A gauge pressure sensor apparatus and a method of forming the same. A constraint wafer can be partially etched to set the diaphragm size, followed by bonding to a top wafer. The thickness of the top wafer is either the desired diaphragm thickness or is thinned to the desired thickness after bonding. The bonding of top wafer and constraint wafer enables electrochemical etch stopping. This allows the media conduit to be etched through the back of the constraint wafer and an electrical signal produced when the etching reaches the diaphragm. The process prevents the diaphragm from being over-etched. The invention allows the die size to be smaller than die where the diaphragm size is set by etching from the back side.

    摘要: A pressure sensor apparatus and method that incorporates a silicon frit bonded cap. The pressure sensor includes a silicon sensor wafer with diaphragms at a bottom surface thereof, a silicon cap wafer mounted on the topside of each sensor wafer, a plurality of silicon sensor die formed on the sensor wafer, a silicon cap wafer etched to create a plurality of reference cavities on the topside of the diaphragm, a thin glass frit to form a wafer-to-wafer bond between the sensor wafer and cap wafer. Sensing devices such as semiconductor die/sensor, peizoresistors, can be used to sense the pressure. The wafer-to-wafer frit bonding improves the output signal drift and the thermal performance of the pressure sensor minimizes the thermal mismatch created by anodic bonded glass wafers.

    摘要: A differential pressure sensor includes two pressure ports for allowing media to pass into contact with both the top and bottom sides of the diaphragm. A silicon pressure sensor die can be attached between the pressure ports using die attach materials for sensing a differential pressure between the media to evaluate media differential pressure. A cap with an opening can be placed on topside of a diaphragm formed in the silicon pressure die. The silicon pressure die can include die bond pads that can be electrically connected to the diaphragm to output electrical signals. The cap can seal the die bond pads from the harsh media and route the electrical signals therein. Media can pass through the opening in the cap such that a media path to the top of the diaphragm is not exposed to the die bond pads of the silicon pressure die to ensure long-term sensor reliability.
