    摘要: A semiconductor pressure sensor compatible with fluid and gaseous media applications is described. The semiconductor pressure sensor includes a sensor capsule having a semiconductor die and a silicon cap that is bonded to the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die includes a diaphragm that incorporates piezoresistive sensors thereon, and a stress isolation mechanism for isolating the diaphragm from packaging and mounting stresses. The silicon cap includes a cavity for allowing the diaphragm to deflect. The semiconductor pressure sensor further includes a pressure port that is hermetically attached to the semiconductor die. The sensor capsule and pressure port may be incorporated into a plastic housing. In one embodiment, the silicon cap is bonded to the semiconductor die to form an integral pressure reference. In an alternative embodiment, a second pressure port is provided for allowing gage or differential pressure measurements. A technique for incorporating the piezoresistive sensors is also described. An ASIC may be optionally attached to the silicon cap, and/or active electronic circuitry may be fabricated on the semiconductor die or silicon cap. Additional coatings may be optionally applied to the pressure port and semiconductor die for enhancing chemical resistance.

    摘要: The present invention is a semiconductor pressure sensor. In one embodiment, the semiconductor pressure sensor includes a diaphragm having a first thickness and at least cone raised boss that is coupled to a first side of the diaphragm. The at least one raised boss increases the diaphragm thickness in the region occupied by the at least one raised boss to a second thickness. A plurality of piezoresistors are disposed on a second side of the diaphragm in regions of the first thickness. In another embodiment, a semiconductor pressure sensor diaphragm includes at least one raised boss disposed along a central axis on a first side of the diaphragm. At least two raised bridge regions are disposed along the central axis, interconnecting the at least one raised boss and a diaphragm edge. Each raised bridge region is narrower than the raised boss. A plurality of piezoresistors are disposed on the raised bridge regions of the diaphragm along the central axis.
