  • Sensor arrangement for measuring a pressure and a temperature in a fluid
    Patent number: 7467891
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement (1) for measuring a pressure and a temperature in a fluid is disclosed. The sensor arrangement (1) comprises a temperature sensitive electrical element (3) and a pressure sensing electrical element (6), the temperature sensitive electrical element (3) and pressure sensing electrical element (6) are both coupled to one side of a metallic membrane structure (4,16). The metallic membrane structure is arranged to pass on the temperature of the fluid which is at the other side of the membrane structure (4,16) to the temperature sensitive electrical element (3) and to pass on the pressure in the fluid to the pressure sensing electrical element (6). In this way a combined pressure and temperature sensor is obtained which is applicable in vehicle air-conditioning systems working with CO2 as refrigerant.

  • Flip-chip mounted pressure sensor
    Patent number: 6405597
    Abstract: A device for measuring pressure in a space includes a semiconductor component suitable for measuring pressure that is positioned in the space and that has connecting pads for flip-chip mounting, a support element with a flat surface carrying a pattern of conductors onto which the semiconductor component is attached, and spacer elements in the space between the pattern of conductors and the bonding pads of the semiconductor component such that there is a space between the semiconductor component and the surface of the support elements in which space the pressure equals the pressure to be measured.
