C2V LOGO


Customized solutions for force & deformation sensing

The deformation of small silicon structures is measured by means of small piezo-resistive strain gauges. These structures can be beams (to measure forces), or membranes (for a pressure sensor). For an accurate detection of forces and deformations, the design of the suspension beams and the strain gauges, is essential. Measurement of deformations in three directions is feasible.
