A silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor

Proceedings First IEEE International Workshop on Electronic Design, Test and Applications '2002, 2003
The paper describes the design, simulation and fabrication of a silicon pressure sensor. The device makes use a of monocrystalline silicon square diaphragm supported by a thick silicon rim. The diaphragm is fabricated by etching away the bulk silicon on a defined region until the required thickness is achieved.

Piezoresistive Tactile Sensor Discriminating Multidirectional Forces [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2015
Flexible tactile sensors capable of detecting the magnitude and direction of the applied force together are of great interest for application in human-interactive robots, prosthetics, and bionic arms/feet. Human skin contains excellent tactile sensing elements, mechanoreceptors, which detect their assigned tactile stimuli and transduce them into ...

A piezoresistive humidity sensor

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 1994
Abstract This paper deals with a new type of humidity sensor. Whereas conventional humidity sensors utilize the change of the specific resistivity or the dielectric properties here the humidity induced volume change of a polyimide layer leads to a deformation of a silicon membrane.
