  • Patent number: 5731584
    Abstract: A microgap sensor, and manufacturing method therefor, which includes a cathode and at least one strip anode parallel to the cathode, in which the strip anode is separated and insulated from the cathode by an insulation layer made from a polymeric material. The microgap sensor further includes a cathodic drift electrode substantially parallel to the cathode, the cathode and drift electrode being separated by a gap fillable with an ionizable gas. The gap is considerably greater than the thickness of the insulating layer, and the strip anode is located in the gap between the cathode and the drift electrode.
