Abstract:
1. A transducer for use in a harsh environment comprising: a substrate; a transducer die directly coupled to said substrate by a bond frame positioned between said substrate and said transducer die, said transducer die including a transducer element which provides an output signal related to a physical characteristic to be measured, or which receives an input signal and responsively provides a physical output; and a connecting component electrically coupled to said transducer element at a connection location that is fluidly isolated from said transducer element or the surrounding environment by said bond frame, wherein said bond frame is made of materials and said connecting component is electrically coupled to said transducer element by a connection having the same materials of said bond frame, and wherein said connecting component is electrically isolated from said bond frame.
