Abstract
A high temperature transducer consists of a first section having a base layer of monocrystalline silicon which layer is coated with an oxide. A thin layer of a high temperature glass is sputtered on the oxide layer of the base layer. A second section is formed by diffusing a wafer of N type silicon to form a p+ layer. The first and second sections are bonded together by an anodic bond where the p+ layer is secured to the glass layer to form a composite structure. The N type material is then removed and piezoresistive deivces are formed in the p+ layer. This structure provides a high temperature transducer which exhibits stable operating parameters over a wide operating range.
