Abstract:
1. Semiconductor input control device for inputting mechanical signals into an electronic system comprising: a force sensor die formed within a semiconductor substrate, the force sensor die comprises side one and side two, electrical connection elements, force-application area and at least one force sensor providing electrical output signals in response to an external force applied to the force-application area; a package enclosing at least part of the force sensor die; and a force-transferring element cooperated with the force-application area, where the force transferring element transfers an external force to the force sensor die; wherein the electrical connection elements and force-application area of the force-sensor die are located on the side one of the force sensor die and the force-transferring element is in contact with the force application area on the side one of the force sensor die when the external force is applied.
