Abstract:
A method for forming a thermally insulated pressure transducer assembly comprising the steps of:forming at least one piezoresistive structure on a first side of a first wafer said wafer further including a second side adapted to be exposed to a pressure to be measured; forming at least one contact area electrically coupled to said at least one piezoresistive structure on said first side of said first wafer; coupling a second wafer including at least one aperture to said first side of said wafer, such that said at least one aperture is aligned with said at least one contact area; coupling a first header assembly including at least one pin to said second wafer, such that said at least one pin is electrically coupled to said at least one contact area; and, coupling a second header assembly including at least one tube to said first header, such that said at least one pin makes electrical contact with said at least one tube.
