摘要： There is disclosed a semiconductor sensor device comprising a semiconductor diaphragm member having a top surface coated with an oxide layer; P+ sensor elements fusion bonded to the oxide layer at a relatively central area of the diaphragm; P+ finger elements fusion bonded to the oxide layer extending from the sensors to an outer contact location of the diaphragm for each finger; and an external rim of P+ material fusion bonded to the oxide layer and surrounding the sensors and fingers. A first glass wafer member is electrostatically bonded at a bottom surface to the fingers and rim to hermetically seal the sensors and fingers of the diaphragm member. The first glass wafer includes a depression above the sensors and has a plurality of apertures, where each aperture is associated with a separate finger at the contact location and each aperture being smaller than the associated finger lining up with the contact location wherein each contact location can be accessed via the associated aperture in the first glass wafer member. A second glass wafer member is sealingly coupled to a top surface of the first glass wafer and has a plurality of apertures aligned with the plurality of apertures of the first glass wafer member and containing a group of hermetically sealed pins for coupling to the contact locations.

摘要： A reduced size, hermetically sealed semiconductor transducer and methods for fabricating the same. In a preferred embodiment, the transducer comprises a transducer wafer including a diaphragm which deflects upon the application of a force thereto. At least one semiconductor transducer element and one electrical contact are disposed on a top surface of the transducer wafer, with the electrical contact coupled to the semiconductor element and extending to a peripheral portion of the wafer. A cover member is provided that is dimensioned to surround the semiconductor element. A peripheral glass frit bond is formed between the cover member and the transducer wafer, and between the cover member and at least a portion of the electrical contact. An aperture is formed in a top portion of the cover member, positioned above a region bounded by the peripheral glass bond. This aperture functions to prevent air gap formation in the peripheral glass frit bond. A sealing member hermetically seals the aperture, whereby a vacuum is maintained between the transducer element and the cover member, the transducer element thereby being hermetically sealed from the external environment, while at least a portion of the electrical contact remains exposed to enable subsequent wire bonding thereto.

摘要： A dual diaphragm pressure transducer, or sensor, with compensation for non-pressure effects is disclosed. The pressure sensor can include two pressure transducers located on separate portions of a chip. The first pressure transducer can be a differential pressure transducer, which produces a signal proportional to one or more applied pressures and includes other non-pressure effects. The second pressure transducer can be sealed in a hermetic chamber and thus can produce a signal proportional only to non-pressure effects. The signals can be combined to produce a signal proportional to the applied pressures with no non-pressure effects. The first and second pressure transducers can be physically and/or electrically isolated to improve sealing between the two pressure transducers and prevent pressure leaks therebetween.

摘要： A piezoresistive sensor device and a method for making a piezoresistive device are disclosed. The sensor device comprises a silicon wafer having piezoresistive elements and contacts in electrical communication with the elements. The sensor device further comprises a contact glass coupled to the silicon wafer and having apertures aligned with the contacts. The sensor device also comprises a non-conductive frit for mounting the contact glass to a header glass, and a conductive non-lead glass frit disposed in the apertures and in electrical communication with the contacts. The method for making a piezoresistive sensor device, comprises bonding a contact glass to a silicon wafer such that apertures in the glass line up with contacts on the wafer, and filling the apertures with a non-lead glass frit such that the frit is in electrical communication with the contacts. The use of a lead free glass frit prevents catastrophic failure of the piezoresistive sensor and associated transducer in ultra high temperature applications.

摘要： The RTD device of the present invention is comprised of a semiconductor substrate and a substantially thin conductive metal layer disposed upon the semiconductor substrate, wherein the conductive metal has a substantially linear temperature-resistance relationship. The conductive layer is etched into a convoluted RTD pattern, which consequently increases the overall resistance and minimizes the overall mass of the RTD assembly. A contact glass cover and a conductive metal-glass frit are placed over the RTD assembly to hermetically seal the RTD. The resultant structure can be “upside-down” mounted onto a header or a flat shim so that the bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate is exposed to the external environment, thus shielding the RTD from external forces. The resultant structure is a low mass, highly conductive, leadless, and hermetically sealed RTD that accurately measures the temperature of liquids and gases and maintains fast response time in high temperatures and harsh environments.
