Pressure sensor device and pressure sensor cell thereof
First Claim
1. A pressure sensor device comprising:
- a pressure sensor cell comprising;
a pressure sensor chip having a pressure receiving section for receiving pressure and means for converting strain of the pressure receiving section into an electrical signal;
a base member having a first face, a second face, and a through hole extending through the first and second faces;
pressure introducing means having a first face, a second face, and a through hole penetrating through the first and second faces;
a resin case having a signal terminal for outputting the electrical signal from the pressure sensor chip;
a joining member joining the pressure introducing means and the base member; and
at least one of a protective member or a filler, wherein the pressure sensor chip is joined to the second face of the base member with the pressure receiving section facing the through hole of the base member, wherein the joining member joins the second face of the pressure introducing means to the first face of the base member with the through hole of the pressure introducing means communicating with the through hole of the base member, wherein one of the protective member or filler covers the joining member, wherein the resin case is bonded to the pressure introducing means, and wherein the pressure sensor chip and the signal terminal are electrically connected together by wire bonding.

Abstract
A pressure sensor device includes a pressure sensor cell that includes a sensor chip having a diaphragm with piezo-resistors, an amplifying circuit, and various adjusting circuits, and a base member to which the sensor chip is joined, with the diaphragm facing a through hole of the base member. The base member and a metallic member are joined together with a joining member so that their respective through holes communicate with each other. A protective film or filler covers the joining member between the base member and the metallic pipe member. The metallic pipe member is bonded to a resin case, and a signal terminal of the resin case and the pressure sensor chip are electrically connected together by wire bonding, thus forming a pressure sensor cell. The metallic pipe member protrudes beyond an end face of the resin case to support load.
