Introduction

Rachel Gleeson is an inventor associated with Melexis Technologies NV in Tessenderlo, Belgium. Her patent work includes a method for manufacturing a sensor device, with a focus on integrating the sensor element and its electrical connection into a thinned substrate.

Latest Patents

Gleeson is named on one patent, titled “Method of Manufacturing a Sensor Device.” The method forms a substrate containing a sensor element and bonds a cap layer to it before thinning the substrate. It then creates a via connecting the sensor element to the substrate’s back side, providing an electrical connection. A mask defines an area around a predetermined window region, and part of the cap layer around that region is removed after the via is formed. This process describes a structured approach to manufacturing a sensor device with a back-side electrical connection.
