Abstract

The microcrystalline-silicon (μC-Si) strain sensors fabricated directly on flexible polyimide substrates with similar gage factor were investigated. To maintain substrate flatness and provide improved thermal transfer during fabrication, a pressure-sensitive silicone gel adhesive layer was used to mount the Kapton® substrates onto glass carriers. An anisotropic conductive film was used to electrically connect the sample to a flexible cable which connects the strain sensors to a PC boards. Results show ∼0.85 gage factor, similar to metallic foil stain sensors, but with greatly reduced sensor area and power consumption.
