New Technology for Industrial Pressure Sensors

March 7, 2012 By Randy Frank

Piezoresistive technology is used extensively in MEMS pressure sensors. To extend the pressure range and improve accuracy and stability of pressure sensors for industrial applications, GE Energy’s Measurement & Control Solutions division developed Trench Etched Resonant Pressure (TERPS) technology. Resonant Pressure Transducer  (RPT) has been used to fabricate a pressure sensor with a resonator and […]
