Abstract
Solid state pressure sensors based upon aluminum gallium arsenide devices are disclosed. One embodiment uses a TEGFET as a hydrostatic pressure sensor. By adjustment of the gate voltage, it is possible to vary the operating conditions of the sensor, so as to adapt it dynamically to particular measurement conditions. Another hydrostatic pressure transducer, essentially made from aluminum gallium arsenide on a gallium arsenide substrate, comprises a layer sensitive to pressure and a layer sensitive to temperature: due to its homogeneous structure and its rigorous temperature compensation, this transducer offers both high accuracy and high sensitivity.
