1. Semiconductor input control device for inputting mechanical signals into an electronic system comprising:
a force sensor die formed within semiconductor substrate and containing:
a force sensor providing electrical output signal in response to applied external force, connection elements for electrical and mechanical connection within an electronic system;
a package:
enclosing a part of the force sensor die and comprising a force-transferring element, which is coupled to the sensor die and transfers an external force to the force sensor die;
wherein connection elements of the force sensor die are exposed for direct mounting of the semiconductor input control device within an electronic system.
