A pressure sensor assembly, which includes a pressure sensing element having a diaphragm, a plurality of piezoresistors connected to the diaphragm, and at least one layer of sealing glass connected to the diaphragm. The pressure sensor assembly also includes a base, a layer of sealing glass is connected to the base, and is configured to maximize the sensitivity of the plurality of piezoresistors via tailoring the side surfaces of the glass surface to control the deformable diaphragm. The layer of sealing glass includes a first recess portion, and a second recess portion formed as part of the layer of sealing glass on the opposite side of the layer of sealing glass as the first recess portion. One of the plurality of piezoresistors is partially surrounded by the first recess portion, and another of the plurality of piezoresistors is partially surrounded by the second recess portion.
