1. A constraint for a sensor assembly, comprising:
a silicon wafer having a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and a passageway extending through the silicon wafer from the first side to the second side, the first side is a continuous planar surface except for the passageway; and
a flexible structure extending from the second side and aligned with an outermost lateral surface of the silicon wafer in a height direction extending between the first side and the second side of the silicon wafer, the flexible structure includes a plurality of beams and at least one trench disposed between the plurality of beams, a total width of the silicon wafer outside of the passageway in a width direction perpendicular to the height direction is greater than a total width of the beams in the width direction.
