    摘要: A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip including a substrate having a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to the first surface; a stress-sensitive sensor disposed at the first surface of the substrate, wherein the stress-sensitive sensor is sensitive to mechanical stress; a first pair of adjacent stress-decoupling trenches arranged laterally from a first lateral side of the stress-sensitive sensor, where each stress-decoupling trench of the first pair of adjacent stress-decoupling trenches extends partially from the first surface into the substrate towards the second surface although not completely to the second surface; and a first spring structure formed between the first pair of adjacent stress-decoupling trenches such that the first spring structure is arranged laterally from the stress-sensitive sensor and is configured to absorb external stress from an environment.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first region; a second region that is peripheral to the first region; a substrate having a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to the first surface; a stress-sensitive sensor disposed in the first region at the first surface of the substrate; a back end of line (BEOL) stack disposed on the first surface of the semiconductor chip that extends laterally from the MEMS element, in the first region, into the second region; a first cavity formed in the BEOL stack that exposes the sensitive area of the stress-sensitive sensor, wherein the first cavity extends entirely through the BEOL stack over the first region thereby exposing a sensitive area of the stress-sensitive sensor; and at least one stress-decoupling trench laterally spaced from the stress-sensitive sensor and laterally spaced from the first cavity with a portion of the BEOL stack interposed between.
