ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the manufacture of a strain gauge sensor using the piezoresistive effect, comprising a structure (1) made of a monocrystalline material acting as support to at least one strain gauge (2) made of a semiconducting material with a freely chosen doping type. The strain gauge (2) is an element made along a crystallographic plane determined to improve its piezoresistivity coefficient. The structure (1) is a structure etched along a crystallographic plane determined to improve its etching. The strain gauge (2) is fixed to the structure (1) by bonding means capable of obtaining said sensor.
