摘要
Considerable price reduction with respect to currently available sensors can be reached by industrial production of an integrated fully compensated sensor. A compatible process for simultaneous fabrication of sensors and IC was developed, starting from a standard 20 V bipolar process and from an original process for piezoresistive pressure sensors. A first approach of total integration of sensing element, amplifier and temperature compensation circuitry for an 8-bar differential pressure sensor in an automotive package was realised on a hybrid. The test included both electrical and environmental measurements. The results obtained with these devices show the feasability of integrating on the same chip the sensor and the output signal conditioning. © 1990.
