Abstract: A blind opening is formed in a bottom surface of a semiconductor substrate to define a thin membrane suspended from a substrate frame. The thin membrane has a topside surface and a bottomside surface. A stress structure is mounted to one of the topside surface or bottomside surface of the thin membrane. The stress structure induces a bending of the thin membrane which defines a normal state for the thin membrane. Piezoresistors are supported by the thin membrane. In response to an applied pressure, the thin membrane is bent away from the normal state and a change in resistance of the piezoresistors is indicative of the applied pressure.
