INTRODUCTION  
What is the term Media Compatibility, and how does it affect  
Pressure Sensors? Media is any chemical compound, in  
liquid, solid or gas which interacts with the sensor where the  
sensing of pressure is done either directly through this  
chemical, or by measuring the pressure of a gas containing a  
certain amount of this chemical. Media Compatibility is  
presented here as the various media that our sensor can  
sense pressure with, either directly or through an air column.  
While this document will lay groundwork for compatible  
chemical media, it will not serve as a qualification guarantee.  
The only method we endorse fully is the utilization of a  
pressure sensor with clean, dry air.

RELIABILITY  
This document will cover the Media Compatibility of these  
Integrated Pressure Sensors (IPS) Piezo-Resistive  
Transducer (PRT) technology Pressure Sensors. Looking at  
the cross section of a Unibody pressure sensor in Figure 1,  
the gel layer is evident over the die. Force or pressure is  
transferred through the gel to the sensing element on the die.  
The gel coat protects the die and wire bonds that are  
encapsulated within and is available as a standard  
Fluorosilicone or Media Resistant gel. The Media Resistant  
option is the default choice in sensor selection for an  
application that may call for added protection over the  
Fluorosilicone gel. When a corrosive is introduced to the  
sensor that is not compatible, it has the potential to dissolve,  
or be absorbed by the gel and corrupt the die surface or lead  
to wire-bond breakage. Some types of media will take longer  
to corrupt the die than others, so a disposable application is  
possible. Knowing how to make the sensor last for longetivity  
with/without media can accelerate or slow down the lifetime of  
the sensor.  
Reliability of the sensor can be improved by Pulse biasing  
the pressure sensor. This turns the sensor on and off to  
improve the lifetime of the sensor and is a typical standard  
practice for PRT sensors. With corrosive media, this will not  
improve sensor lifetime if the media is expected to eventually  
corrupt the sensor. The sensor will also not survive in a  
corrosive or non-corrosive environment with direct contact  
with liquid media. Eventually the die or wire-bonds will be  
compromised by the chemical interaction in the long term.  
This is not to say that Pulse biasing should be avoided  
completely. This is standard practice to improve typical sensor  
lifetimes in typical applications.  
Another method to prolong lifetime is to un-bias the sensor  
during sudden cold to hot cycling. The gel layer is a good  
protection layer against liquid moisture from contacting wire-  
bonds or die level. However if this is saturated in a harsh  
environment during cold-hot cycling, condensation can build  
up. During the hot cycle this can lead to the possibility of
