The reported gauge factor for p-type polysilicon piezoresistors is about
20-30 and for n-type piezoresistors is -20 to -25. Check these
references for further information:

> Hello to all,
>   Can any one give me the values of piezoresistance coefficients of
polysilicon. Will it be the same as that of single crystal silicon??? I need the
values for some simulations. I would be very grateful if you can send me some
references which deal with the piezoresistive properties of polysilicon.
