Abstract :
The disadvantages of semiconductor strain-gage transducers are nonlinearity and temperature sensitivity. Using a monolithic integrated circuit Wheatstone bridge on a silicon cantilever enables linearization by variation of the location or width of the sensing devices. Excellent temperature stability is achieved by the integration itself and an additional external resistor.
