Abstract: A pressure sensor includes a housing, an isolator positioned at a first end of the housing, and a first cavity formed between the first end of the housing and the isolator. The pressure sensor further includes a second cavity formed in the housing and a channel with a first end fluidly connected to the first cavity and a second end fluidly coupled to the second cavity. A pressure sensor chip is positioned in the second cavity and includes a first diaphragm positioned at a top side of the pressure sensor chip laterally outwards from the second end of the channel to prevent a fluid from jetting onto the first diaphragm.

Abstract: A pressure sensor comprising a housing, a diaphragm wafer, and an isolator configured to absorb lateral stress. The diaphragm wafer includes a fully exposed diaphragm, a fluid contact surface, a sensing element, and a support portion, where the support portion and the contact surface define a cavity. The isolator extends laterally from the support portion to the housing. The pressure sensor is easily drainable, eliminating the buildup of particulates, and the diaphragm can be directly wire-bonded to printed circuit boards, eliminating the need for extensive electrical feedthrough.

Abstract: A micromechanical pressure sensor for measuring a pressure differential includes a diaphragm having an inner region and two edge regions, one opposite the other with respect to the inner region. Two or more piezoresistive resistance devices are on the diaphragm, at least one in each of the inner and edge region, and are configured to be electrically connected in a bridge circuit. The micromechanical pressure sensor is configured so that an operating temperature of the one or more piezoresistive resistance devices in the inner region is substantially the same as an operating temperature of the one or more piezoresistive resistance devices in at least one of the edge regions throughout a full operating range such that an error of the micromechanical pressure sensor output resulting from self-heating is less than if the micromechanical pressure sensor were not configured to maintain the operating temperatures substantially the same.

Abstract: A micro-fuse assembly includes a substrate, a number of thin-film micro-fuses on the substrate, and a topping wafer configured to sealingly engage to at least one of the substrate or the thin-film micro-fuses to define a cavity therebetween. The cavity is configured to encapsulate the thin-film micro-fuses within an inert environment sealed within the cavity. A method of encapsulating a micro-fuse assembly within an inert environment using a topping wafer is also disclosed.
