In this study, a preparation method for the high-temperature pressure sensor based on the piezoresistive effect of p-type SiC is presented. The varistor with a positive trapezoidal shape was designed and etched innovatively to improve the contact stability between the metal and SiC varistor. Additionally, the excellent ohmic contact was formed by annealing at 950 °C between Ni/Al/Ni/Au and p-type SiC with a doping concentration of 1018cm−3. The aging sensor was tested for varistors in the air of 25 °C–600 °C. The resistance value of the varistors initially decreased and then increased with the increase of temperature and reached the minimum at ~450 °C. It could be calculated that the varistors at ~100 °C exhibited the maximum temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of ~−0.35%/°C. The above results indicated that the sensor had a stable electrical connection in the air environment of ≤600 °C. Finally, the encapsulated sensor was subjected to pressure/depressure tests at room temperature. The test results revealed that the sensor output sensitivity was approximately 1.09 mV/V/bar, which is better than other SiC pressure sensors. This study has a great significance for the test of mechanical parameters under the extreme environment of 600 °C.

Alumina ceramic is a highly promising material for fabricating high-temperature pressure sensors. In this paper, a direct bonding method for fabricating a sensitive cavity with alumina ceramic is presented. Alumina ceramic substrates were bonded together to form a sensitive cavity for high-temperature pressure environments. The device can sense pressure parameters at high temperatures. To verify the sensitivity performance of the fabrication method in high-temperature environments, an inductor and capacitor were integrated on the ceramic substrate with the fabricated sensitive cavity to form a wireless passive LC pressure sensor with thick-film integrated technology. Finally, the fabricated sensor was tested using a system test platform. The experimental results show that the sensor can realize pressure measurements above 900 °C, confirming that the fabricated sensitive cavity has excellent sealing properties. Therefore, the direct bonding method can potentially be used for developing all-ceramic high-temperature pressure sensors for application in harsh environments.
