  • Sensing environmental parameter through stress induced in IC
    Patent number: 8872290
    Abstract: A sensor is provided for sensing a value of a physical parameter characteristic of the sensor's environment. The sensor is implemented in semiconductor technology. A behavior of the sensor's electronic circuitry is affected by stress. The stress is induced by a film covering the circuitry or only part thereof. The stress is caused by the film's material, whose dimensions depend on a value of the parameter. This dependence is different from the 5 dependence of the circuitry's substrate on the same parameter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2014
    Assignee: NXP B.V.
    Inventors: Romano Hoofman, Remco Henricus Wilhelmus Pijnenbrug, Youri Victorovitch Ponomarev
