    Abstract: A method for forming a transducer including the step of providing a semiconductor-on-insulator wafer including first and second semiconductor layers separated by an electrically insulating layer. The method further includes depositing or growing a piezoelectric film or piezoresistive film on the wafer, depositing or growing an electrically conductive material on the piezoelectric or piezoresistive film to form at least one electrode, and depositing or growing a bonding layer including an electrical connection portion that is located on or is electrically coupled to the electrode. The method further includes the step of providing a ceramic substrate having a bonding layer located thereon, the bonding layer including an electrical connection portion and being patterned in a manner to generally match the bonding layer of the semiconductor-on-insulator wafer. The method also includes causing the bonding layer of the semiconductor-on-insulator wafer and the bonding layer of the substrate to bond together to thereby mechanically and electrically couple the semiconductor-on-insulator wafer and the substrate to form the transducer, wherein the electrical connection portions of the bonding layers of the semiconductor-on-insulator wafer and the substrate are fluidly isolated from the surrounding environment by the bonding layers.

    Abstract: A pressure sensor including a movable component that is configured to move when the pressure sensor is exposed to differential pressure thereacross, and a pressure sensing component located on the movable component. The pressure sensing component includes an electrically conductive electron gas which changes its electrical resistance thereacross upon movement of the movable component. The pressure sensor is configured such that leads can be coupled to the pressure sensing component and the pressure sensing component can output a signal via the leads, the signal being related to a pressure to which the pressure sensor is exposed.
