    摘要: A sensor has an electrical interconnect grown in a cavity between first and second layers that are bonded together. Electrically conductive grain growth material is selectively deposited on at least one of two electrically conductive film interconnect regions that face one another across the cavity. The grain growth material is then grown upon predetermined conditions to form the electrical interconnect between the two interconnect regions. A sensor element deposited in the cavity is electrically coupled between the layers by the interconnect. The grain growth material can be tantalum that is heated after the layers are bonded to grow grains that interconnect the electrically conductive films.

    摘要: A pressure sensor integrally formed in the shape of a beam around a central channel. The beam has an integral blind end that is pressurized by the fluid. The beam has an opposite end that is shaped to provide a stepped corner with a gap opening at the base of the stepped corner, where the gap and isolated from the fluid. A sensing film in the channel adjacent the blind end has an electrical parameter that varies with pressure and electrical leads that extend from the channel and out the gap. A seal fills the gap around the leads and the seal fills a portion of the stepped corner. The sensor is preferably formed by direct bonding of single crystal alumina layers. Applications include industrial pressure transmitters, aerospace and turbine engine pressure sensing.

    摘要: A pH sensor has a core of an electrochemically inert insulating or semi-conductive material, and is coated with an electrically conductive, electrochemically sensitive coating. The preferred core is insulating and made of alumina, with a thin coating of iridium oxide deposited over at least a portion of the outer surface of the core. The coating is carried to a surface remote from the sensing surface and is used for making electrically conductive connections that lead to remote circuitry. The core is made in a form that can be supported and held in an insulating, electrochemically inert, deformable material that is sealed around the outer surface of the coating on the core to prevent leakage of chemicals being sensed. The body also permits sealing quite easily onto access ports on which the sensor housing is mounted. Various connections to the electrode coating can be made quite easily to provide for a unique sensor assembly.

    摘要: A thin film platinum resistance thermometer capable of operation at elevated temperatures includes a benign dielectric layer covering the thin film platinum resistance temperature sensing element and a barrier layer overlying the dielectric layer. The barrier layer, which is preferrably titanium dioxide, resists diffusion of contaminants which would alter the electrical characteristics of the sensing element, while permitting diffusion of oxygen through the barrier layer.

    摘要: A transmitter in a process control system transmits a pressure over a process control loop. The transmitter includes I/O circuitry, compensation circuitry and an absolute pressure sensor. The I/O circuitry transmits information over the process control loop. Compensation circuitry receives a pressure related signal and responsively controls the I/O circuitry to transmit pressure information on the loop. The absolute pressure sensor includes a cavity which deforms as the sensor deflects in response to an applied pressure. A sensor in the cavity provides the pressure related signal to the compensation circuitry in response to the deformation.
