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 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.
