Abstract

A capacitive differential pressure sensor has been developed. The process used for the fabrication of the sensor is IC-compatible, meaning that the device can potentially be monolithically integrated on one chip with a suitable signal conditioning circuit. A sensor for a differential pressure range of ±1_bar was fabricated and tested with a frequency modulated detection circuit, and good agreement was found with the theoretical model of the sensor. A nominal sensitivity ΔC/C of 18% has been measured for a positive differential pressure of 1 bar.
