Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a pattern formation parts with a high moisture resistance for a load cell or the like by forming a protective film made of a resin on a metal layer formed on the surface of a substrate and a metal film on the protective film. CONSTITUTION:A protective film 17 made of a resin is formed on the entire surface 6 intended for forming a pattern of a beam body 1 except for the terminal 16. The protective film 17 is made of a polyimide based resin, which is excellent in the insulability but poor in the water permeation because of a water absorption. Therefore, as it is swelled due to humidity, a resulting distortion will affect a strain gauge resistor 10 or the like causing a change in the resistance, that is a drawback. On the other hand, the poor water permeation allows the protection of the strain gauge resistor 10 from such an effect as corroding it oxidation. Then, a metal film 18 is formed on the surface of the protective film 17 by evaporation and sputtering. The material used for the metal film 18 shall be metal with a large anticorrosivity such as Au, NiCr and Ti. In this manner, the protective film made of a resin and the metal film are formed sequentially in lamination on the pattern to have the metal film preventing the protective film from being moistened thereby eliminating effect of humidity.

Technical Background and Problems Conventionally, in thin film type load cells, the film thickness of the strain gauge resistor and compensation resistor is extremely thin, so that the influence of the external environment such as humidity and temperature is large. For example, they are susceptible to oxidation in high-temperature environments, and when humidity increases, resistance changes occur due to swelling of the insulating layer caused by the resin, leading to loss of bridge balance and changes in output voltage.
