Abstract:
An example embodiment may include a sensor for monitoring and/or measuring stress in a semiconductor component. The component may include a substrate formed of a semiconductor material. The substrate may include a planar main surface. The sensor may include at least one slanted surface of the substrate material, the slanted surface being defined by an oblique inclination angle with respect to the main surface of the substrate. The sensor may also include at least one straight resistive path extending on at least part of the slanted surface and a plurality of contacts and terminals for accessing the at least one resistive path. The contacts and terminals may allow for the measurement of an electrical resistance of the resistive path and an assessment of a shear stress in a plane that is not parallel to the main surface of the substrate.

Claim (Index 10):
The sensor according to  claim 7 , further comprising:\n two planar resistive paths in a vicinity of the first cavity or the 3D shape, the two planar paths running along perpendicular lines in the plane of the main surface of the substrate; electrical contacts at a start and end location of each planar resistive path, and terminals for accessing the contacts; four additional electrical contacts located around the first cavity or the 3D shape, one on each of the four corners of the first cavity or the 3D shape, and terminals for accessing the four corner contacts; and four slanted resistive paths, each path running along one of the ribs of the first cavity or the 3D shape, between the respective corner contacts and the tip area of the first cavity or the 3D shape.
