Piezoresistive pressure sensors for harsh environments
To increase the stabilization and reliability of piezoresistive pressure sensors working in harsh environments with harsh acids
alkalis
corrosive salts
and other destructive substances such as electrostatic particles and damp
a novel piezoresistive pressure sensor was presented. The innovation of the sensor was that the sensing elements of the sensor were fabricated in the lower surface of a silicon diaphragm and were sealed in a vacuum pressure cavity by silicon-glass bonding process. The work principle of this pressure sensor was introduced. Then
Finite Element Method and ANSYS soft were used to simulate the stress distribution of the diaphragm. Finally
the micro-electro-mechanical System(MEMS) technology was used to fabricate a pressure sensor with the dimension of 1.5 mm1.5 mm500 m. The measurement results by a pressure test platform show that the sensitivity of the sensor is about 20 mV/V-MPa
and its maximum nonlinearity is 2.73% FSS
which meets the requirements of the modern industrial applications.
