CONCLUSION Measurements of piezoresistive
coefficients in lightly doped (111) silicon Applications of piezoresistive sensors in
electronic packaging. The sensors are not mounted on the chips. Integral part of the structure to be
analyzed by the way of the fabrication process.

CONCLUSION (Continued)
The sensor are capable of providing non-intrusive measurements of surface on chip even within encapsulated packages.
Piezoresistive stress sensors have much higher sensitivity than metallic stress sensors.
