摘要:
The invention relates to a semiconductor strain gauge comprising four piezoresistive elements (10,12,14,16) which include a low impurity concentration diffused portion and a heavily-doped diffused portion. The resistance values of the two low impurity concentration diffused portions opposite to one another are greater than the resistance values of the other two low impurity concentration portions. The resistances of the heavily-doped diffused portions are so selected that the resistances of the piezoresistive elements (10,12,14,16) are equal.

摘要:
An air-fuel ratio in the lean range is detected by measuring a limiting current when oxygen diffused to a first electrode (123; 2; 51) is pumped to a second electrode (124; 3; 52) via a solid electrolyte. A stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is detected from electromotive force between first (123; 2; 51) and third electrodes (126; 6; 53) when oxygen is pumped from the first electrode (123; 2; 51) to the third electrode (126; 6; 53). The invention is characterized by use of such three electrodes. Furthermore, an air-fuel ratio in a rich range is detected by either sending oxygen from the first electrode (123; 2; 51) to the third electrode (126; 6; 53) via the solid electrolyte (127; 1; 50) and measuring a current when the electromotive force between the first and third electrodes is controlled to be constant, or measuring a current when the air-fuel ratio range is judged as "rich" from this electromotive force and the polarity of the impressed voltage at the time of lean detection is reversed.
