Method of assembling micromechanical sensors
First Claim
1. A method for assembling micromechanical sensors, particularly Hall sensors, pressure or acceleration sensors, in which at least one silicon sensor element is applied to a substrate,characterized in thatthe at least one silicon sensor element (10) is bonded to the substrate (20) via at least one assembly pedestal (11, 12, 13), the bearing faces of which are small compared with the surface area of the silicon sensor element (10), so that a gap (50) exists between the substrate (20) and the silicon sensor element (10), except in the region of the at least one assembly pedestal (11, 12, 13), thereby minimizing temperature-induced tensions between the sensor element (10) and the substrate (20).

Abstract
A method is proposed for assembling micromechanical sensors, in particular Hall sensors, or pressure or acceleration sensors, in which at least one silicon sensor element is applied to a substrate. The at least one silicon sensor element is joined to the substrate via at least one assembly pedestal, the cap faces of which are kept small compared with the surface of the silicon sensor element, so that a gap exists between the substrate and the silicon sensor element except for the region of the at least one assembly pedestal.
