摘要:
A flow-through pressure sensor apparatus that reduces the dead space of a flow tube utilized to provide fluid communication between a pressure sense die and a fluid and with an absolute minimum trapped volume. A cover (e.g., plastic) with two-molded ports can be added to one side of the pressure sense die utilizing molded-in solder pins to improve ruggedness and rigidity. A temperature and a humidity sensor can also be mounted to a substrate (e.g., ceramic) in the flow path and can be connected to a programmable compensation integrated circuit on the opposite side utilizing a clip end of mounting pins or by vias through the substrate outside a pressurized area.

摘要:
A pressure detection mechanism having a pressure sense die which may be attached directly to a surface of an alumina-based substrate with an adhesive having an optimum thickness. The adhesive may be stress compliant and may be one or more of silicone, silicone-epoxy, epoxy or any other suitable adhesive material. A compensation and interface application specific integrated circuit may be attached to the surface of the package substrate. The pressure sense die may be electrically connected to the integrated circuit with bond wires. The integrated circuit may be electrically connected to trace conductors on the package substrate with bond wires, and trace conductors may be connected to stress compliant metal conductors or leads for external connection to a mounting surface such as a printed circuit board. Hard plastic, or like material, symmetric covers, with one or more pressure ports or vents, may be attached to both sides of the substrate.

摘要:
Methods and devices for adhesively bonding a sensor die to a substrate are described. In some cases, a sensor assembly may include a pressure sensor die mounted to a substrate with an adhesive. The pressure sensor die may be fabricated to include a back-side having one or more adhesion features (e.g. recesses or indentations), which increase the surface area of the pressure sensor die that is in contact with the adhesive, to thereby increase the adhesion force therebetween. In some cases, the one or more adhesion features may define a non-planar interface between the pressure sensor die and the adhesive which, in some instances, may reduce the formation and/or propagation of cracks in the adhesive, which also may help increase the adhesion force therebetween.

摘要:
A force sensor apparatus and method of forming the same. The apparatus includes a force sense element that can be attached to a substrate. An actuator disposed in a hole formed within the cap is operably coupled to the force sense element for transferring force to the sense element in response to receiving a force from an external source. The force sense element is configured to sense the external force and generate an output signal representing the force. Preferably, one or more bond pads, associated with the force sense element and the substrate, can be electrically connected via wire bonding. A cover associated with an integrated flexible membrane can be mounted on the substrate in order to protect internal components associated with the force sensor apparatus from an external environment.

The present disclosure relates to sensors including pressure sensors, humidity sensors, flow sensors, etc. In some illustrative cases, a sensor assembly may include a pressure port connected to a sensor unit, an electrical connector connected to the sensor unit and an outer housing encompassing at least portions of the pressure port, sensor unit and electrical connector. In one example, the sensor unit may include a carrier carrying a sense element, where the carrier may extend into a recess of the pressure port and may be secured to the pressure port at an internal side thereof through the use of an adhesive layer.
