Abstract

A gas pressure sensing device based on ZrO2 thin films for use at high temperatures is presented. The films were deposited on glass substrates through electron beam evaporation of ZrO2 tablets in vacuum with residual oxygen pressure of the order of 10-4 mbar. The piezoresistive characteristics of the device for different pressures of N2, CO2, Ar and He ar different temperatures were investigated. The experimental results and the underlying physical mechanisms are discussed.
