Patent number: 11300467Abstract: A differential pressure sensor with wireless RFID communication ability senses and records a specified differential pressure threshold without great energy consumption and without requiring direct access or visual inspection of the sensing element. The differential pressure sensor includes a sensing element sensing a differential pressure between a low pressure side and a high pressure side and a RFID tag comprising a tag antenna, a tag integrated circuit (IC) and a tamper loop connected to the tag IC for tracking a specific differential pressure threshold of the differential pressure sensor. The RFID tag is connected to the sensing element in such a way that the tamper loop is triggered if the specific differential pressure threshold has been reached.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: SMARTRAC INVESTMENT B.V.Inventors: Alex Boellaard, Laurence Singleton, Ray Freeman, Henry Prescher, Patrick Mende

Publication number: 20070176275Abstract: A stack of semiconductor chips includes a substrate or an interposer board comprising conductor structures for electrical connection of the stack and a first chip. The first chip includes an active side with peripherally arranged bonding pads and is mounted face-up on the substrate or the interposer board. The stack beyond includes at least a further chip with peripherally arranged bonding pads on its active side. The back side and at least two chip edges of the further chip are embedded by a mold cap providing a protuberance on the back side of the chip. The protuberance forms a planar surface extending substantially parallel and with a distance to the back side of the chip. The further chip is attached face-up to the active side of the first chip by an adhesive applied between the protuberance and the first chip so that the protuberance is inserted between both chips to provide a gap there. The protuberance has at least one linear dimension that is smaller than a linear dimension of the subjacent chip.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Inventors: Laurence Singleton, Alexander Wollanke, Jesus Belonio
