Joel You may be able to dice off the pyrex using a diamond saw or perhaps drilling a hole using ultrasonic milling or sanblasting with a fine nozzle. Either way you have to be careful not to damage the sensor chip. Alternatively find someone who will give you a a gage prssure chip, try silicon micro structures in milpitas California Graham -----Original Message----- From: Schlienger, Joel P.

I have a chip that is mounted by anodic bonding on the pyrex but need to remove it in order to use the pressor sensor in gauge conditions. Thanks for any comments on that.
