ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor pressure sensor includes a semiconductor pressure-sensing chip including a semiconductor body having a diaphragm that flexes in response to applied pressure, a strain gauge disposed in the diaphragm for altering an electrical signal in response to flexing of the diaphragm, and an amplifying circuit disposed in the semiconductor body outside the diaphragm and connected to the strain gauge for amplifying the electrical signal; a base supporting the semiconductor pressure-sensing chip; a package enclosing the semiconductor pressure-sensing chip and the base and having an opening providing access to the pressure-sensing chip; a plurality of leads penetrating the package and connected to the amplifying circuit; a substrate on which the package is mounted; and a gain-adjusting resistor disposed on the substrate opposite the package and electrically connected to the amplifying circuit for adjusting the gain of the amplifying circuit.
