In this paper we describe the fabrication and evaluation of on-chip silicon-based gas
pressure sensors. The sensor is fabricated using standard Integrated Circuit (IC)
fabrication technology except the final etching to delineate cantilever beams. The
beam which is the key element in the sensor system is driven to its resonant frequency
by the difference in thermal expansion between silicon and oxide. The output
detection is done by utilising the piezoresistive effect in a polysilicon resistor defined
on top of the oxide layer. It is found that the resonant frequency (fR)) varies linearly
with the gas pressure from 100 mmHg to about 500 mmH, thus it is possible for
system to be used as a gas pressure sensor |
