Abstract
A sensor isolation system including a sensor, a package for the sensor, and a compliant interposer disposed between the sensor and the package and interconnecting the sensor to the package to isolate the sensor from thermal and mechanical stresses and yet at the same time providing a physical interconnect between the sensor and the package.
Claims19
An interposer for isolating a sensor from its package, the interposer comprising:
- a planar base portion;
- and
- a plurality of spring elements extending from the base portion and disposed between the sensor and the package, the spring elements elastically deforming and isolating the sensor from thermal and mechanical stresses to the package.
