ABSTRACT:
A pressure transducer is formed on an N-type wafer of silicon by depositing on the wafer a P+ layer. A thin N-type layer is then formed on the P+ layer. The N layer which is relatively thin, will form a diaphragm for piezoresistors which are deposited on the N layer. The P+ layer acts as a stop to enable a central aperture to be formed or etched into the N wafer; which aperture defines an active deflecting area for the thin N-type diaphragm. The various layers are crystallographically homogeneous to enable the piezoresistors to exhibit high coefficients and hence, provide a sensitive transducer assembly.
