    摘要: A pressure transducer comprises a pressure sensor including a bridge connection of gauging resistors formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a power supply connected to the pressure sensor for driving it and basically acting as a constant current source. The power supply includes at least two transistors formed on the semiconductor substrate. One of the transistors provides a collector current which is less in temperature-dependency relative to that of the other transistor, and the other transistor has a collector circuit connected to the pressure sensor and provides a collector current corresponding to a sum of a substantially temperature-dependent current and a substantially temperature-independent current. A ratio of the temperature-dependent current to the temperature-independent current is adjusted by selecting operation characteristics of the two transistors such that a temperature characteristic of the collector current of the other transistor is substantially inversely proportional to a temperature characteristic of the output of the pressure sensor when it is driven with a constant voltage.

A substrate of borosilicate glass has a flat surface which is placed against the side of the diaphragm in contact with the supporting portion and the two elements are joined by a process of anodic bonding so that a pressure chamber is formed between the substrate and the thin deflecting portion of the diaphragm. Within the pressure chamber, a thin electrode is provided on the surface of the substrate thereby forming electrostatic capacity between the substrate and the diaphragm and a hole is provided through the substrate for supplying of fluid into the pressure chamber.

    摘要: A flying head slider has gas bearing rails formed on a surface thereof disposed in opposed relation to a recording medium. The flying head slider flies at a microscopic distance above the recording medium by a pressure produced by a stream of gas resulted from the rotation of the recording medium. Each of the gas bearing rails comprises an inflow portion disposed at an inflow side of the gas stream so as to produce a pressure, an outflow portion disposed at an outflow side of the gas stream so as to produce a pressure, and a connective portion interconnecting the inflow portion and the outflow portion in a common plane. The connective portion serves to suppress an excessive compression of the gas, and achieves good damping characteristics.

    摘要: A semiconductor pressure detector apparatus has a strain--electric signal conversion bridge which is composed of four semiconductor strain gauges, and an amplifier which serves to hold at a predetermined value the sum of currents flowing through the bridge. The midpoints of two arms constituting the bridge are respectively connected to the noninverting inputs of two negative feedback amplifiers. Outputs from the two negative feedback amplifiers are applied to a differential amplifier, and an output proportional to the difference of the outputs of the former amplifiers appears at an output terminal of the latter amplifier. A potential equal to potentials which appear at the midpoints of the two arms of the bridge when the bridge is in its balanced state at a predetermined temperature and under a predetermined pressure is generated by two resistances which are connected in series with a supply voltage, and the potential is applied through a switch to either of the inverting inputs of the two negative feedback amplifiers, whereby the zero-point temperature compensation of this apparatus is made.

The silicon diaphragm assembly has a circular diaphragm portion of thin silicon which is formed using etching, and a thick supporting portion therearound. Piezoresistive elements of a piezoresistive bridge circuit and conducting paths for electrically connection thereof are formed on the silicon diaphragm assembly. On a surface of the silicon diaphragm assembly, a passivating layer of silicon dioxide are formed in uniform thickness, and further on a surface of the passivating layer is formed a layer of polysilicon on the supporting portion of the silicon diaphragm assembly. In the passivating layer, a contacting window is formed, through which the polysilicon layer is electrically connected to the silicon diaphragm assembly. The covering member of borosilicate glass having a circular well is mounted and bonded onto the silicon diaphragm assembly in contact with the polysilicon layer using Anodic Bonding method. And the processed silicon diaphragm assembly has a flat surface thereof, on which the piezoresistive elements and the conducting paths are constructed using Ion Implantation method, or reforming a silicon dioxide layer thereon after removing another silicon dioxide layer used as mask in diffusing process.
