In many technical applications pressure sensors are utilized for monitoring and feedback control. Especially in combustion processes with a high power density combustion instabilities can lead to pulsations, which could cause a total failure of the system. Required pressure sensors need capability of working in a temperature range above 600°C to provide reliable measurements of static and dynamic pressure. In addition to the high temperature stability a reasonable chemical stability is required.

In this talk conceptual considerations on the potential of sensors in high temperature applications are performed based on state of the art sensors. Electrical insulating and conducting thin films are evaluated regarding their potential in high temperature pressure sensors applications. Promising candidates are investigated by means of electrical, morphological and chemical methods regarding the influence of temperature and gas atmosphere on their properties.

A high temperature measurement setup to determine the gauge factor of electrical conducting thin films has been realized. Based on the evaluations of thin films a first sensor prototype based on sapphire is fabricated and evaluated.
