Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip including a substrate having a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to the first surface; at least one stress-decoupling trench that extends from the first surface into the substrate, where the at least one stress-decoupling trench extends partially into the substrate towards the second surface although not completely to the second surface; a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) element, including a sensitive area, disposed at the first surface of the substrate and laterally spaced from the at least one stress-decoupling trench; and a stress-decoupling material that fills the at least one stress-decoupling trench and covers the sensitive area of the MEMS element.
