  • Pressure sensor
    Patent number: 11940347
    Abstract: A pressure sensor has a stem in which a pressure introduction hole into which a pressure medium is introduced and a diaphragm deformable according to the pressure of the pressure medium are formed, and a strain detecting element which is arranged on the diaphragm via an insulating film and being configured to output a detection signal according to the deformation of the diaphragm. The strain detecting element is configured to have a portion made of polysilicon. A low doping layer having a higher electrical resistivity than polysilicon and a higher crystallinity than the insulating film is arranged between the insulating film and the strain detecting element.
    Type: Grant

  • PRESSURE SENSOR
    Publication number: 20170343437
    Abstract: A pressure sensor outputting an electrical signal upon a fluid pressure in a target space includes a diaphragm having a pressure receiving surface disposed in the target space for receiving a fluid pressure, and a back surface on a back side of the pressure receiving surface, an inner member disposed to face the back surface and a diaphragm supporting portion connected to the diaphragm. The diaphragm includes a center portion disposed to face the inner member and is distorted as a concave shape toward the detecting direction because of the heat transmitted to the pressure receiving surface and the distortion of the center portion as a concave shape toward the detecting direction. A contacting portion provided on a connecting portion between the center portion and the outside portion is in contact with the inner member.
