This Project Grant award of $305,000, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084), aims to develop a high-temperature pressure sensor for industrial process monitoring applications. The key products to be delivered include:

  1. A circular membrane-based pressure sensor made of wide bandgap semiconductors that can operate at high temperatures, overcoming the limitations of traditional silicon-based piezoresistive pressure sensors. The sensor will be designed to maximize deflection sensitivity, minimize thermal and vibrational instability, and withstand harsh environments.

  2. Extensive training opportunities for PhD students and internship opportunities for university students through the project activities.

The award recipient, Sentec LLC, a small business in Greenville, SC, will work with an industrial partner to package and test the developed sensors under varying pressure and temperature conditions to ensure reliability and effectiveness. This project aims to address the unmet market need for high-temperature pressure sensors across applications such as electric vehicles, geolocation, and industrial processes.
