ABSTRACT:
Unfired ceramic tape is fired to a ceramic substrate during the laminar fabrication of a thick film force sensing element to provide the fabricated sensing element with a force sensing zone which is effective in response to the application of force thereto to induce strain in the fired ceramic tape. A conductor and thick film resistor system is printed and fired to the tape during the fabrication process to provide the fabricated sensing element with an electrically detectable signal correlating with the induced strain. Accelerometer and pressure sensor embodiments are disclosed. The invention is well-suited for the commercial mass-production of sensing elements, such as for automotive vehicle usage, because it can practiced through the use of automated production processes.
