Joel, I doubt that you can remove a chip that has already been properly anodic bonded. The anodic forces are very strong and handling without breaking is difficult. Our company manufacturers silicon die, either constrained to Pyrex or not(bare). You can get the Pyrex with a hole in it for providing an atmospheric reference (gauge). You can also get it constrained to one without a hole and sealed in a vacuum (absolute) or constrained to one without a hole and sealed at current atmospheric pressure(static). The static seal is usually used at very high pressure only. It might be advisable to get the one with a constraint(and hole) to aid in your mounting. Bare die mounting stresses can be wicked, especially in very low pressure ranges.

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.
