    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.

    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 vertical Hall effect apparatus, including methods thereof. A substrate layer can be provided upon which an epitaxial layer is formed. The epitaxial layer is surrounded vertically by one or more isolation layers. Additionally, an oxide layer can be formed above the epitaxial layer. A plurality of Hall effect elements can be formed within the epitaxial layer(s) and below the oxide layer, wherein the Hall effect elements sense the components of an arbitrary magnetic field in the plane of the wafer and perpendicular to the current flow in the hall element. A plurality of field plates can be formed above the oxide layer to control the inherited offset due to geometry control and processing of the vertical Hall effect apparatus, while preventing the formation of an output voltage of the vertical Hall effect apparatus at zero magnetic fields thereof.

    摘要: A method of forming a composite diaphragm for a pressure transducer is disclosed. The method comprises providing a substrate layer having a first conductivity type and a first surface. Positive implants are deposited in the first surface of the substrate layer, and an epitaxial layer is grown on the first surface of the substrate layer so that the positive implants form positive diffusions in the epitaxial layer. An oxide pattern is formed on the epitaxial layer, and a top layer is deposited over the epitaxial layer and oxide pattern. The substrate layer and positive diffusions of the epitaxial layer are then etched to form the composite diaphragm. The positive diffusions can be patterned so that the resulting etched structure has improved diaphragm performance characteristics. For example, the remaining pattern can include a plurality of bosses and interconnecting battens so that the diaphragm has a relatively high burst pressure and a high output signal with improved linearity at low pressures.
