A sensor carrier having a main plane of extension, a first side parallel to the main plane of extension, a second side parallel to the main plane of extension, which is situated opposite the first side, and at least one electrical contact surface situated on the second side. At least one stress-measuring structure is embedded in the sensor carrier. A sensor module having such a sensor carrier as well as to a component having a sensor module having such a sensor carrier, are also described. A method for calibrating a sensor module and a method for operating a sensor module are also described.

Component having a micromechanical sensor module

A housing for a micromechanical sensor element, including a cavity in which the sensor element is disposable, and a damping element, the micromechanical sensor element being immobilizable in the cavity by the damping element so that the damping element and the sensor element together have a substantially common center of mass.

A semiconductor package. The semiconductor package includes a first side, a second side, a molded substrate, a die, and a lead frame. The second side of the semiconductor package is opposite the first side of the semiconductor package. The die and lead frame are embedded into the molded substrate. The lead frame is also positioned between the first side and the second side of the semiconductor package to provide a first electrical connection between the first side and the second side of the semiconductor package.

The invention relates to a printed circuit board arrangement, more particularly a multilayer printed circuit board. The printed circuit board arrangement comprises at least two printed circuit boards which are arranged parallel to one another and connected to one another. According to the invention, in the case of the printed circuit board arrangement of the type mentioned initially, at least one surface region of one printed circuit board is connected to another printed circuit board of the printed circuit board arrangement by means of an element embodied in an elastic and/or damping fashion in such a way that an oscillatory system, more particularly a spring-mass system, an oscillatory bending strip or a flexurally oscillatory board is formed by means of the surface region of the printed circuit board and the element.

A sensor device, having a flexible printed circuit board that has a fastening section for a chip structure, a chip structure situated on the fastening section of the flexible printed-circuit board, and a damper element for damping the chip structure from mechanical influences. The fastening section of the flexible printed circuit board, the chip structure and the damper element are situated one on top of the other.

Sensor having damping

A sensor system includes a supporting element and a sensor element attached to the supporting element and having a main plane of extension. The supporting element has (i) at least one contact element for electrical contacting of the sensor system and (ii) at least one relief structure for stress decoupling, the at least one relief structure being situated in a plane parallel to the main plane of extension essentially between the at least one contact element and the sensor element.
