    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 includes a sensing element fabricated on an N-type epitaxial layer grown on a P-type substrate, a P-type isolation region located around the edge of the sensing element die and in contact with the P-type substrate, and a conductive elastomeric seal engaging the P-type isolation region prevents shorting of the conductive elastomeric seal with the N-type epitaxial layer of the sensing element die. A method of making a pressure sensor comprises growing an n-type epitaxy layer on a p-type substrate wafer, resulting in a pressure sensor die and substrate having an edge, obtaining a mask adapted for fabricating an isolation diffusion layer around the edge using P-type material, and creating an isolation layer diffusion using P-type doping material around the edge using the mask. A conductive elastomeric seal can then be placed over the sensor die to make electrical contact to the package.

    摘要: Various embodiments of reduced-size vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility vehicles (UVs) are disclosed herein. In at least some embodiments, the vehicles include frames that are wider near the front and rear sections of the vehicles than within the mid-sections of the vehicles. This, in combination with the use of shock-absorbers that are substantially vertically oriented, allows for the opening-up of large interior cavities within the front and rear sections of the vehicles within which can be positioned large front and rear internal compartments that can provide storage/carrying capacity as well as added buoyancy for the vehicle, among other things. Also, in at least some embodiments, the vehicles can include special cooling and/or exhaust systems having components that are positioned substantially within the mid-sections of the vehicles, thus further increasing the amounts of space available for the cavities/compartments within the front and rear sections of the vehicles.
