Advanced diamond-based pressure & temperature transducers

Ziel



Europe accounts for some 38 % of the worldwide sensor market, which will have an estimated value of ECU 36 billion by the year 2000. Advanced sensors represent 45 % of the total sensor figure and this is set to rise to 62 % over the next ten yearts through the replacement of traditional sensors and because of rapidly expanding markets in automative, robotics and process control, together with increased legislation over safety and environmental emissions.
Thin film semiconducting diamond can be processed using many of the approaches used in silicon technology to manufacture sensors with a superior perfor-mance at high temperatures and in corrosive environments. Diamond has the highest Young's modulus of any known material and is also piezoresistive indicating that its application in pressure transducers will have advantages over conventional materials like silicon for particular applications. The objective of this project is to develop a diamond-based pressure transducer technology. The programme will design and fabricate transducers using CVD diamond and the performance of these devices will be assessed. The commercial aim is to develop an advanced sensor technology for applications not feasible with silicon-based devices.
