Patent ID: 8915152

Claim:
A force sensor comprising: a substrate that has a front side and a back side; a semiconductor body that has a top surface and a back surface, a piezoresistive element being arranged on the top surface of the semiconductor body, the semiconductor body being connected to the substrate, the semiconductor body including: a first wing provided on the top surface of the semiconductor body, the first wing having a upper side and a bottom side, the first wing being largely elastically movable along a normal vector of the top surface of the semiconductor body, the first wing being connected to the semiconductor body, the semiconductor body being configured as an abutment upon a movement of the first wing; a first force application area being arranged on the first wing; and a second wing situated opposite the first wing is arranged with a second force application area, the piezoresistive element being disposed between first wing and second wing; and a force distribution component configured in a shape of a bridge and being connected to the first force application area and the second force application area, the force distribution component including a first surface that has a third force application area and faces away from the top surface of the semiconductor body.
