Abstract:
1. An integrated electronic device for detecting a local parameter related to a force experienced in a given direction, within a solid structure, the device comprising: a substrate comprising a semiconductor material having a substantially planar region configured to define a plane substantially perpendicular to the given direction; at least one sensor, arranged at the substantially planar region of the substrate, and configured to detect the local parameter at least in the given direction with a piezo-resistive effect; at least one substantially planar face configured in a portion of the integrated electronic device around the at least one sensor, the at least one face belonging to an inclined plane by an angle relative to the plane substantially perpendicular to the given direction, which plane is defined by the substantially planar region of the substrate; the angle being defined such as to reduce on the at least one sensor the effect of forces acting in directions other than the given direction at the portion of the device around the at least one sensor.
