  • Patent number: 6643976
    Abstract: A pressure sensor device is described that has a diaphragm acted upon by a working medium, on a first side, and a sensor chip, which is disposed on a second side of the diaphragm that is remote from the working medium. There is formed in the sensor chip a measuring bridge having four sensor elements, which form two pairs disposed parallel, and the pairs are disposed at right angles to one another. The sensor elements are disposed such that they are closely spaced apart from one another in the edge region of the sensor chip that faces toward the central point of the diaphragm.

  • Publication number: 20030070488
    Abstract: Pressure measurement unit in a pressure measurement system A pressure measurement unit in a pressure measurement system has a housing section (8) which has an internal space (9) with internal surfaces, and a ceramic unit (1) which has a pressure diaphragm (2) and at least one external surface, with the ceramic unit (1) held in the press fit in the housing section (8) and with radial holding stresses operating between the external surface of the ceramic unit (1) and the internal surfaces of the housing section (8). In a method for manufacturing a corresponding pressure measurement unit with a housing section (8) and with a ceramic unit (1) which has a pressure diaphragm (2) and at least one external surface, with holding stresses built up between the housing section (8) and the ceramic unit (1), which hold the ceramic unit (1) in the internal space of the housing section (8).
