Abstract
A pressure sensor including a ceramic diaphragm which is deformable in response to a pressure applied thereto, a ceramic base associated with a periphery of the ceramic diaphragm, for supporting the ceramic diaphragm, and at least one resistor formed on the ceramic diaphragm. Resistance values of the resistor are adapted to vary depending upon a magnitude of deformation of the ceramic diaphragm, and thereby represent the pressure applied to the ceramic diaphragm. The ceramic diaphragm and the ceramic base consist of a co-fired body obtained by co-firing an unfired diaphragm member and an unfired base member.
