Pre-formed solid as coupling mechanism in media-isolated pressure sensors

A media-isolated pressure sensor, the media-isolated pressure sensor comprising:

• a pressure sensing diaphragm that is coupled to a substrate of the media-isolated pressure sensor;
• a deformable solid, wherein the deformable solid is configured to deform so as to substantially cover a sensing surface of the pressure sensing diaphragm to create a barrier between the pressure sensing diaphragm and a measured media;
• and
• a ring seal assembly protruding from the substrate and defining a pressure sensing cavity wherein the ring seal assembly extends from the substrate beyond the furthest extent of the pressure sensing diaphragm and forms an enclosed perimeter around a pressure sensing die, and
• wherein the deformable solid fluidly couples the measured media to the pressure sensing diaphragm such that in an instance in which a force is applied to the deformable solid by the measured media the force is transmitted to the pressure sensing diaphragm.
