Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Described herein is a ruggedized wafer level microelectromechanical ("MEMS") force sensor including a base and a cap. The MEMS force sensor includes a flexible membrane and a sensing element. The sensing element is electrically connected to integrated complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor ("CMOS") circuitry provided on the same substrate as the sensing element. The CMOS circuitry can be configured to amplify, digitize, calibrate, store, and/or communicate force values through electrical terminals to external circuitry.
