Hi, the coefficients depend strongly on technology. Usually, K-factors are given (relative change in resistance = K * strain). Here are some data: p-Si: Kl = 25 (for NA = 10^19 cm-3) Kt = -5 (for NA = 10^19 cm-3) n-Si: Kl = -25 (for NA = 10^19 cm-3) Kt = 3 (for NA = 10^20 cm-3) English references are: Seto: Journal of Applied Physics. 47 (1976) 11, pp. 4780-4783 Germer: Sensors and Actuators. 4 (1983), pp. 183-189 Detry: Transducers'85. pp. 278-280 Binder: Sensors and Actuators. 4 (1983), pp. 527-536 Germer: Sensors and Actuators. 7 (1985), pp. 135-142 French: Transucers'85. pp. 281-283 Schubert: Sensors and Actuators. 11 (1987), pp. 145-155 More references are available in German.
