    摘要: A high temperature transducer consists of a first section having a base layer of monocrystalline silicon which layer is coated with an oxide. A thin layer of a high temperature glass is sputtered on the oxide layer of the base layer. A second section is formed by diffusing a wafer of N type silicon to form a p+ layer. The first and second sections are bonded together by an anodic bond where the p+ layer is secured to the glass layer to form a composite structure. The N type material is then removed and piezoresistive deivces are formed in the p+ layer. This structure provides a high temperature transducer which exhibits stable operating parameters over a wide operating range.

    摘要: A pressure transducer employs a tubular glass structure of a "D" shaped cross section, with the arcuate section of the "D" shaped configuration being substantially thicker than the base section. A sensor array is positioned on the underside of the base section while a pressure conducting fluid is directed through the tubular member to provide deflection of the base to cause the sensor array to provide an output indicative of pressure variations in the fluid medium. The sensor array as positioned on the underside of the base is both electrically and mechanically isolated from the pressure conducting medium.

    摘要: A bridge array employing piezoresistive sensors responsive to the longitudinal piezoresistive effect generally exhibits a positive nonlinearity over a pressure range, while a bridge array employing piezoresistive sensors employing the transverse piezoresistive effect exhibits a negative nonlinearity over the pressure range. A composite pressure transducer is provided by interconnecting a longitudinal and transverse bridge array in a common composite configuration. The resulting transducer exhibits linear operation over the pressure range due to the cancellation of said nonlinearities from the connected arrays.

    摘要: There is disclosed a spreading resistance piezoresistive transducer which employs a planar diaphragm member fabricated from a semiconductor material and having deposited on a surface thereof at least three contact areas. A first contact area is located central to the diaphragm with a second area near the periphery of the diaphragm. A third contact is of a larger area and is positioned between the first and second contacts. A source of biasing potential is applied between the first and second contacts to cause current flow indicative of the spreading resistance between the contacts. The value of the spreading resistance varies in accordance with a force applied to the diaphragm.

    摘要: A glass header structure for a pressure transducer employs a cylindrical member fabricated from a borosilicate glass having a thermal expansion coefficient which matches silicon. The glass header has a central aperture which extends from the top to the bottom surface. Positioned about the central aperture are four smaller apertures located at 90 degree intervals and each containing an elongated terminal pin. The pins are of a nail head configuration with a flat top head of a larger diameter than the diameter of the apertures and of the main pin body. Affixed to the flat top surfaces of the terminal pins by means of ball bonding are wires which connect to the terminal areas of a semiconductor pressure transducer which is mounted over the central aperture of the header. In this manner, the glass header serves to electrically and mechanically isolate the semiconductor transducer from the external environment and to further provide isolation of the transducer from voltage and heating effects which are produced during the assembly process necessary to fabricate a complete transducer unit.

    摘要: There is disclosed a medical transducer apparatus which employs composite planar members each of which is fabricated from a highly insulative material. The members are positioned in congruency and a first member which may be a composite member has a diaphragm area located on the surface thereof to which a piezoresistive gage is bonded. The gage is surrounded by an aperture in another member to enable leads from the gage to be directed to an interconnection and circuit board also fabricated from an insulator material. The structure provides isolation to the patient in regard to the biasing source used for the gage array and also provides isolation based on external voltage which serves to protect the transducer during operation.
