    Abstract: A cell phone is provided having multiple sensors configured to detect and measure different parameters of interest. The cell phone includes at least one monolithic integrated multi-sensor (MIMS) device. The MIMS device comprises at least two sensors of different types formed on a common semiconductor substrate. For example, the MIMS device can comprise an indirect sensor and a direct sensor. The cell phone couples a first parameter to be measured directly to the direct sensor. Conversely, the cell phone can couple a second parameter to be measured to the indirect sensor indirectly. Other sensors can be added to the cell phone by stacking a sensor to the MIMS device or to another substrate coupled to the MIMS device. This supports integrating multiple sensors such as a microphone, an accelerometer, and a temperature sensor to reduce cost, complexity, simplify assembly, while increasing performance.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit having an indirect sensor and a direct sensor formed on a common semiconductor substrate is disclosed. The direct sensor requires the parameter being measured to be directly applied to the direct sensor. Conversely, the indirect sensor can have the parameter being measured to be indirectly applied to the indirect sensor. The parameter being measured by the direct sensor is different than the parameter being measured by the indirect sensor. In other words, the direct sensor and indirect sensor are of different types. An example of a direct sensor is a pressure sensor. The pressure being measured by the pressure sensor must be applied to the pressure sensor. An example of an indirect sensor is an accelerometer. The rate of change of velocity does not have to be applied directly to the accelerometer. In one embodiment, the direct and indirect sensors are formed using photolithographic techniques.

Each sensor node can also include electronic circuitry or a power source. A joint region is coupled between a first flexible interconnect region and a second flexible interconnect region. The first sensor node is coupled to the first flexible interconnect region. Similarly, the second sensor node is coupled to the second flexible interconnect region.
