Abstract
A method of making a strain gauge in a fragile web wherein the improvement resides in making the web after the gauge is substantially completely formed. This reverse sequence is made possible by a unique combination of plasma deposited silicon oxide and plasma deposited silicon nitride on top of the completed device to protect it from attack during silicon substrate etching to form the diaphragm.
