From the Paper:

"Background
Advances in micro miniaturization conceived in the electronics industry, have been applied to shrinking the size of components necessary to implement pressure transducers. The status of ongoing research specifically oriented to fabrication, performance, and application of micro sensors was first described from the viewpoint of their use for heat transfer and fluid flow measurements (Udell, 1990).
The application of this technology to other domains outside of the electronics industry has become known as surface machining, and has emerged during the last thirty (30) years as a viable technology (Halbo). At first the technology was considered to be spin-offs from related microelectronics/integrated circuit technology. Some of the first usage of the ..."
