Sensor system and method

Abstract:

A system includes a structure bonding layer and a sensor. The structure bonding layer is disposed on a structure. The structure bonding layer is a metallic alloy. The sensor includes a non-metallic wafer and a sensor bonding layer disposed on a surface of the non-metallic wafer. The sensor bonding layer is a metallic alloy. The sensor bonding layer is coupled to the structure bonding layer via a metallic joint, and the sensor is configured to sense data of the structure through the metallic joint, the structure bonding layer, and the sensor bonding layer.
