Abstract
A pressure and force sensor and method of fabrication for the implementation of the sensor is presented that employs piezoresistive elements having high gauge factors. Example embodiments allow for the implementation of a pressure or force sensing device and method of fabrication that can be tailored to the requirements of a wide range of applications without incurring long development times and high costs. The pressure or force sensor has an unprecedented level of sensitivity and can be used to measure extremely low levels of pressure and force, or alternatively to measure extremely high levels of pressure and forces. Moreover, the example embodiments teach pressure and force sensors suitable for use in harsh environments and can be operated at high temperatures.
