Abstract

A method is provided for producing a measuring transducer in order to transform at least one physical variable into at least one electric variable. A plurality of planar, insulating and conductive layers are respectively structured according to predefineable models which are adapted to each other and which are assembled in order to form a multi-layered arrangement.

Claims (23)

1. A method for producing a measuring transducer configured to convert at least one physical quantity into at least one electrical quantity, the method comprising:

structuring a multiplicity of planar insulating layers and conductive layers in an alternating order so that, in at least one pair of adjacent insulating and conductive layers among the structured layers, corresponding patterns respectively formed in each one of the adjacent insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are matched to one another when the adjacent insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are structured in the alternating order; and

assembling the structured insulating layers and conductive layers to form a multi-layered arrangement in which the corresponding patterns respectively formed in each one of the adjacently structured insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are matched to one another while the adjacently structured insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are assembled in the alternating order in the multi-layered arrangement.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the patterns are impressed into the insulating and/or conductive layers.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the patterns are recessed into the insulating and/or conductive layers.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the patterns of the insulating and/or conductive layers are grown.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled together with the interposition of an adhesion promoter and by pressure application.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled in a plurality of steps, at least one of the insulating and conductive layers being fitted with electrical circuit elements between two successive assembly steps.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein at least one measuring transducer-specific equipment element is inserted between two successive assembly steps.

8. The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled together with the interposition of an adhesion promoter and by pressure application.

9. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled in a plurality of steps, at least one of the insulating and conductive layers being fitted with electrical circuit elements between two successive assembly steps.

10. A method for producing a measuring transducer, comprising:

arranging a plurality of planar insulating layers and conductive layers in an alternating order so that, in at least one pair of adjacent insulating and conductive layers among the arranged layers, corresponding patterns respectively formed in each one of the adjacent insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are matched to one another when the adjacent insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are arranged in the alternating order; and

forming a measuring transducer based on a multi-layered arrangement of the plurality of planar insulating and conductive layers, in which the corresponding patterns respectively formed in each one of the adjacently arranged insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are matched to one another while the adjacently arranged insulating and conductive layers of the at least one pair are arranged in the alternating order in the multi-layered arrangement,

wherein the measuring transducer is capable of converting at least one physical quantity into at least one electrical quantity.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the patterns are impressed into the insulating and/or conductive layers.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the patterns are recessed into the insulating and/or conductive layers.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the patterns of the insulating and/or conductive layers are grown.

14. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled together with the interposition of an adhesion promoter and by pressure application.

15. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled in a plurality of steps, at least one of the insulating and conductive layers being fitted with electrical circuit elements between two successive assembly steps.

16. The method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein at least one measuring transducer-specific equipment element is inserted between two successive assembly steps.

17. The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled together with the interposition of an adhesion promoter and by pressure application.

18. The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the insulating and/or conductive layers of the multi-layered arrangement are assembled in a plurality of steps, at least one of the insulating and conductive layers being fitted with electrical circuit elements between two successive assembly steps.
