Abstract
Pressure sensors and their methods of manufacturing, where the pressure sensors have a small, thin form factor and may include features designed to improve manufacturability and where the method of manufacturing may improve yield and reduce overall costs.
Claims28
A pressure sensor comprising:
- a membrane formed on a top surface of a handle portion of the pressure sensor;
- a base portion opposite the handle portion, the base portion being thicker than the handle portion;
- a plurality of bond pads formed on a top surface of the base portion;
- a device identifier on a top surface of the pressure sensor;
- and
- a blocking structure on the top surface of the pressure sensor between the plurality of bond pads and the device identifier.
