  • Temperature coefficient of offset adjusted semiconductor device and method thereof
    Patent number: 5994161
    Abstract: A non-zero temperature coefficient of offset (Tco) in a semiconductor device (5) is adjusted by reducing the amount of adhesive material used to secure a first structure to a second structure. An adhesive layer (14) used to secure a sensor die (11) to a constraint die (12) in a pressure sensor application is reduced in thickness and/or formed so that adhesive material does not completely cover the constraint die (12). The Tco is further adjusted by reducing the amount and/or patterning the adhesive layer (18) used to secure the sensor (10) to its package (16).
