Paper 1 Abstract PS nanofilm PS of 80nm is used to calculate its pressure properties by measuring its sensitivity. It is found that better performance is seen due to good temp and piezoresistive characteristics. The sensitivity is measured from temp 0-200C and it is noted that sensitivity at full scale pressure 0.6MPa and temperature 0C is 23.00 Mv/v/mpA and is 18.27 mV/V/MPa at 200C and the temperature coefficient of sensitivity (TCS) is -0.098%/C without any compensation and temperature coefficient
