Abstract

A semiconductor transducer comprises a semiconductor strain gauge composed of a mono-crystalline semiconducting material and a strain sensing region formed in a first main surface of the mono-crystalline semiconducting material, and a strain measuring member coupled to the semiconductor strain gauge through an alloy material. An electrical insulating layer is attached to a second main surface of the mono-crystalline semiconducting material which is coupled to the strain measuring member through the alloy material. The insulating layer is extended to a side surface of the mono-crystalline semiconducting material thereby to cover the same side.
