Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a coating system to be used as thin film sensor, comprising a piezoresistive sensor element, wherein the piezoresistive sensor element is a layer embedded in the coating system, wherein the coating system is deposited on a surface of a substrate, preferably the substrate being a component or a tool or a part of a component or a part of a tool, wherein the piezoresistive sensor element comprises at least one hydrogen free tetrahedral amorphous carbon coating doped with X, i.e. a ta-C:X coating layer, where X is one or more chemical elements selected from the elements groups 13 and 15 of the periodic table of elements, preferably X is one or more from B, Al, Ga, In, Tl, N and P, wherein the ta-C:X coating layer exhibits an anisotropic gage factor.
