Abstract |
In this paper, we propose a process to efficiently integrate barometric pressure sensors and MOSFETs on the same chip and show the measured results from these devices. The barometric sensor and MOSFETs are fabricated on the same Silicon substrate using CMOS process technology. The main process steps for the fabrication of the barometric sensor and MOSFETs are explained. Air pockets are connected around the barometric sensor and improve the sensitivity of the barometric sensor. The barometric sensor has a 0.5 μm thin diaphragm, which can reduce the size of the barometric sensor. The operating characteristics of the barometric sensor and the MOSFETs fabricated on the same substrate are verified. |
