摘要
This paper describes the various critical factors required for the successful design and production of low-pressure silicon micromachined sensors with ranges from 1 psi to 2 in of water. Described in some detail are mechanical modeling and process design and control-related issues. Particular attention is paid to the specialized geometries required for achieving good linearity at low pressures. An example of a plastic housed frequency output sensor with test data is shown. © 1990.
