Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Piezoresistive pressure sensors based on Silicon have a large thermal drift because of their high sensitivity to temperature (ten times more sensitive to temperature than metals). So the study of the thermal behavior of these sensors is essential to define the parameters that cause the drift of the output characteristics. In this study, we adopted the behavior of 2nd degree gauges depending on the temperature. Then we model the thermal behavior of the sensor and its characteristics.

The reasonable design pattern of flexible pressure sensors with excellent performance and prominent features including high sensitivity and a relatively wide workable linear range has attracted significant attention owing to their potential application in the advanced wearable electronics and artificial intelligence fields. Herein, nano carbon black from kerosene soot, an atmospheric pollutant generated during the insufficient burning of hydrocarbon fuels, was utilized as the conductive material with a bottom interdigitated textile electrode screen printed using silver paste to construct a piezoresistive pressure sensor with prominent performance. Owing to the distinct loose porous structure, the lumpy surface roughness of the fabric electrodes, and the softness of polydimethylsiloxane, the piezoresistive pressure sensor exhibited superior detection performance, including high sensitivity (31.63 kPa−1 within the range of 0–2 kPa), a relatively large feasible range (0–15 kPa), a low detection limit (2.26 pa), and a rapid response time (15 ms). Thus, these sensors act as outstanding candidates for detecting the human physiological signal and large-scale limb movement, showing their broad range of application prospects in the advanced wearable electronics field.

The sensitivity and linearity trade-off problem has become the hotly important issues in designing the piezoresistive pressure sensors. To solve these trade-off problems, this paper presents the design, optimization, fabrication, and experiment of a novel piezoresistive pressure sensor for micro pressure measurement based on a combined cross beam - membrane and peninsula (CBMP) structure diaphragm. Through using finite element method (FEM), the proposed sensor performances as well as comparisons with other sensor structures are simulated and analyzed. Compared with the cross beam-membrane (CBM) structure, the sensitivity of CBMP structure sensor is increased about 38.7 % and nonlinearity error is reduced nearly 8%. In comparison with the peninsula structure, the maximum non-linearity error of CBMP sensor is decreased about 40% and the maximum deflection is extremely reduced 73%. Besides, the proposed sensor fabrication is performed on the n-type single crystal silicon wafer. The experimental results of the fabricated sensor with CBMP membrane has a high sensitivity of 23.4 mV/kPa and a low non-linearity of −0.53% FSS in the pressure range 0–10 kPa at the room temperature. According to the excellent performance, the sensor can be applied to measure micro-pressure lower than 10 kPa.

This paper reports the stress and frequency analysis of dynamic silicon diaphragm during the simulation of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) based piezoresistive pressure sensor with the help of finite element method (FEM) within the frame work of COMSOL software. Vibrational modes of rectangular diaphragm of piezoresistive pressure sensor have been determined at different frequencies for different pressure ranges. Optimal frequency range for particular applications for any diaphragm is a very important so that MEMS sensors performance should not degrade during the dynamic environment. Therefore, for the MEMS pressure sensor having applications in dynamic environment, the diaphragm frequency of 280 KHz has been optimized for the diaphragm thickness of 50 [Formula: see text]m and hence this frequency can be considered for showing the better piezoresistive effect and high sensitivity. Moreover, the designed pressure sensor shows the high linearity and enhanced sensitivity of the order of ([Formula: see text]0.5066 mV/psi).
