Metal diaphragm sensor with polysilicon sensing elements and methods
therefor
摘要:
A sensor (10) having polysilicon strain-sensing elements (20) on a metal diaphragm (16). A thick-film insulating layer (18) covers the metal diaphragm (16), and thin-film polysilicon resistive elements (20) are formed on the thick-film insulating layer (18). Thick-film conductors (22) are formed on the thick-film insulating layer (18) and contact the thin-film polysilicon resistive elements (20) to form electrical interconnects to the resistive elements (20). The thick-film conductors (22) preferably contain silicon in order to reduce diffusion of silicon from the polysilicon resistive elements (20). The thick-film insulating layer (18) may be made up of a number of individual thick-film layers, the uppermost of which is stable and nonreactive with the thin-film polysilicon resistive elements (20) and the thick-film conductors (22) at temperatures of at least 600.degree. C. A passivation layer (24) overlies the thin-film polysilicon resistive elements (20) and the thick-film conductors (22). The sensor (10) can be made sufficiently rugged to be used as a structural member of a fluid-containing vessel.
