Abstract
A sensor device may include an electronic device that has at least one integrated circuit device and a MEMS sensor that are each monolithically integrated with a semiconductor substrate. The sensor device may include a suspension structure that suspends the MEMS sensor over a back cavity within the semiconductor substrate. The suspension structure may be springs or a spring structure formed from etching the front side of the substrate.
