Abstract

A piezoresistive strain sensing device is comprised of a semiconductor single-crystal substrate, having crystal indices in the (100) phase, and having p-type and n-type diffused resistors formed therein. A diffused resistance gauge is formed of the p-type and n-type resistors. Temperature compensation means are formed adjacent the resistance gauge in the substrate.
