Abstract;A pressure sensor for use in a high temperature atmosphere(200-250.DEG.C.)has been developed. The pressure sensor consists of Cr-O thin film strain guages,electrode films and oxidation resistance film,which are all sputter and plasma CVD deposited on a metal diaphragm covered with an SiO2 insulator.A Cr-O thin film which was the strain gauge material was made at substrate temperature of 350.DEG.C., and fundamental characteristics of a thin film were examined, and the pressure sensor for the high-temperature operation was developed.It was proven that the fundamental characteristics of composition, specific resistance,and crystal structure of a Cr-O thin film, that it was dependent on the oxygen flow rate in making a thin film and greatly changes.Made Cr-O thin film made under the appropriate condition has the characteristics which they are excellent as pressure sensor in high temperature.In respect of evaluation as oxidation-resistant surface protective film of nonoxide system thin film,non-oxide films such as AIN and Si3N4 keep characteristics of oxidation-resistant by 400.DEG.C..
