Abstract

A semiconductor pressure detecting device comprises a package having a pressure introducing hole, a base plate which has a first through hole at the center thereof and is bonded on the periphery thereof to the inside of the package so that the first through hole becomes concentric with the pressure introduction hole, a mount which has a second through hole at the center thereof and is mounted on the base plate so that the second through hole becomes concentric with the first through hole and located inside the bonding portion of the package and the base plate, and a semiconductor pressure sensor chip, wherein the base plate has a groove which surrounds the mount at a position inside of the bonding portion.

Claims

1. A semiconductor pressure detecting device comprising:

a package having a pressure introducing hole;

a base plate which has a first through hole at the center thereof and is bonded on the periphery thereof to the inside of the package so that said first through hole becomes substantially concentric with said pressure introduction hole;

a mount which has a second through hole at the center thereof and is mounted on said base plate so that said second through hole becomes substantially concentric with said first through hole and located inside the bonding portion of said package and said base plate; and

a semiconductor pressure sensor chip for detecting a pressure introduced through said pressure introduction hole made in said mount, said first through hole and said second through hole;

wherein said base plate has a groove which surrounds the mount at a position inside of said bonding portion.

2. A semiconductor pressure detecting device according to claim 1;

wherein said groove comprise a first groove and a second groove formed to oppose each other while interposing said mount, and a third groove and a fourth groove formed to oppose each other which are formed to interpose said mount and are substantially at right angles to said first groove and said second groove, respectively.

3. A semiconductor pressure detecting device comprising:

a package having a pressure introducing hole;

a base plate which has a first through hole at the center thereof and is bonded at the periphery thereof to the inside of said package so that said first through hole becomes substantially concentric with said pressure introduction hole;

a mount which has a second through hole at the center thereof and is mounted on said base plate so that said second through hole becomes substantially concentric with said first through hole and located inside the bonding portion of said package and said base plate; and

a semiconductor pressure sensor chip mounted on said mount for detecting a pressure introduced through said pressure introduction hole made in said mount, said first through hole and said second through hole;

wherein said base plate comprises a first base plate which is bonded onto said package at the periphery of the bottom surface thereof and a second base plate which is bonded onto said first base plate inside the periphery of the top surface of said first base plate, and said semiconductor pressure sensor chip is mounted on said second base plate via said mount.

4. A semiconductor pressure detecting device according to claim 3;

wherein the joint between said first base plate and said second base plate is located inside the periphery of said mount.
