Abstract: A method for production of a pressure sensor including a flat flexible membrane made of a ceramic material and a flat rigid support thereof made of a ceramic material is provided. Steps include: —establishing an electric circuit on the membrane; —establishing an electric contact with the outside on the support; —depositing an electrically conductive material on the support; —establishing an electrical and mechanical coupling between the membrane and the support. The electrical coupling between the membrane and the support are performed by deposition and sintering of at least one layer of an electrically conductive sinterable electrical connection material. The mechanical coupling between the membrane and the support are performed by deposition and sintering of at least one layer of sinterable mechanical connection material that is electrically insulating and/or isolated from the layer of sinterable electrical connection material.

Abstract: A device for imaging the local distribution of at least one thermodynamic variable includes a radiation emitter capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation and a filter for filtering electromagnetic radiation. The emitter and the filter form an arrangement adapted for modifying the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter in dependency of the local distribution of at least one thermodynamic variable at the location of the arrangement. The emitter further includes at least one electroluminescent layer and the filter is provided with at least one filter layer. The electroluminescent layer and the filter layer are integrated within a cohesive sequence of layers. The device is particularly suitable for infrared camera systems.
