Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a pressure sensor having small sensitivity dispersion, by making the central part of a diaphragm thicker than the peripheral part, and mounting pressure sensitive elements on the central part. CONSTITUTION:In a diaphragm 40, the thickness of a central part 42 is twice a pheipheral part 41. Gage resistors 1 are placed on the central part 42. The gage resistors 1 are arranged in the two directions forming right angles to each other. The resistors form a bridge circuit. When pressure is applied, stress occurs in the central line A - A' of the diaphragm 40. The relationship between the resistance changing rate (a) of the resistors and the position (b) is shown in the Figure, where the longitudinal direction of the gage resistors 1 is the perpendicular direction with respect the central line. In this Figure, the change in sensitivity with respect to the position is very small at the position, where the pressure sensitive elements are placed. Thus dispersion in sensitivity due to the position deviation of the pressure sensitive elements can be reduced.

(Prior Art and its Problems) Conventionally, in the field of pressure sensors, reducing the variation between products in terms of pressure sensitivity has been a major challenge. The causes of the variation in pressure sensitivity include (1) differences in the film thickness of the diaphragm, (2) differences in sensitivity of each pressure-sensitive element due to variations in impurity concentration, etc., (3) positional deviation of the pressure-sensitive element on the diaphragm, etc. The following factors can be cited. In recent years, it has become possible to control the film thickness of a diaphragm by electrochemical etching, etc., and this is used to reduce the sensitivity variations caused by the factor (1) above. Furthermore, advances in semiconductor manufacturing equipment have made it possible to reduce the variation in impurity concentration mentioned in (2) above. This is done by aligning the eyes according to the nine landmarks. Therefore, some misalignment cannot be avoided.

Further, the glass 4 is bonded to the package 6 with a gold-tin or gold-silicon eutectic alloy 5. Well, the package 6 has a cap 91/! : It is sealed. The operating principle of the pressure transducer is described below. A gas 10 whose pressure is to be measured is supplied through the conduit 8, while a reference gas 11 is supplied through the conduit 12 attached to the cap 9. 12Fi may be opened to the atmosphere. Strain occurs in the diaphragm 13 of the pressure sensor 3 due to the difference in gas pressure between the upper and lower surfaces.
In a ratio Wheatstone bridge circuit formed on the diaphragm 13 and constituted by a gauge resistor, changes in the output voltage of the bridge circuit are detected. The excitation voltage and output voltage of the bridge are connected to the lead 7 via the metal A-wire 2.

The relational expression R 幇πl(σl−σt) (3) is obtained. FIG. 10 shows the distribution of the rate of change in resistance that occurs on the center line (person-person' in FIG. 9) when positive pressure is applied to the upper surface of the diaphragm based on equation (3). In the figure, 30 indicates the position where the gauge resistor 1 is placed, and usually the position where the sensitivity is greatest is selected. However, as is clear from the figure, at the position 30, the change in resistance change rate depending on the position is particularly steep. Therefore, in a pressure sensor with a conventional structure, the sensitivity fluctuates greatly due to the misalignment that inevitably occurs when positioning the gauge resistor as mentioned earlier, and eventually the sensitivity of the pressure sensor varies. 7'C has the disadvantage of
