Abstract

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of CrN thin-film type pessure sensors, which the sensing elements were deposited on SUS. 630 diaphragm by DC reactive magnetron sputtering in an argon-nitride atmosphere(Ar-(10%)N$_2$). The optimized condition of CrN thin-film sensing elements was thickness range of 3500${\AA}$ and annealing condition(300$^{\circ}C$, 3 hr) in Ar-10 %N$_2$deposition atmosphere. Under optimum conditions, the CrN thin-films for strain gauges is obtained a high resistivity, $\rho$=1147.65 ${\mu}$$\Omega$cm, a low temperature coefficient of resistance, TCR=-186 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ and a high temporal stability with a good longitudinal, 11.17. The output sensitivity of fabricated CrN thin-film type pressure sensors is 2.36 mV/V, 4∼20 mA and the maximum non-linearity is 0.4 %FS and hysteresis is less than 0.2 %FS.
