New small-size tensoresistors based on the GaSb-CoGa1.3 semiconductor eutectic composite have been designed; they exhibit linear, nonhysteresis, and thermostable characteristics, stable parameters, and high reliability and operate in a temperatures range of 220-400 K. The improvement in the characteristics of the tensoresistors in comparison with GaSb and GaSb-FeGa1.3 is attributed to an increase in the density of the metal inclusions and a decrease in their sizes.
