In order to realize high-accuracy pressure measurement in harsh environment, a new kind of Double-notches Touch Mode Capacitive Pressure Sensor (DTMCPS) based on SiC material is presented. Through research to material properties of the sensor, the sensor can be applied in high-temperature field. Using Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate and solve capacitance, the results show that DTMCPS can immensely improve the sensitivity and the linear range of traditional single cavity sensor because of its double notches structure. Consequently, the sensor has outstanding measurement performance in high-temperature environment.

In the paper, a touch mode capacitive pressure sensor with double-notches structure is presented. The sensor employs a special SiC-AlN-SiC sandwich structure to achieve high-accuracy pressure measurement in hash environment such as high-temperature. The analysis to the relation of capacitance and external pressure of the sensor shows that the sensor has high sensitivity and long linear range simultaneously. In addition, the technical process of the sensor has been designed in detail in the paper. The research shows that the sensor packaged in a high-temperature ceramic AlN can withstand higher temperature. Consequently, the sensor can be applied in high-temperature and harsh environment.

In order to reveal the temperature dependence of a touch mode capacitive pressure sensor, temperature dependence of material parameters of the sense have been studied. Using Finite Element Method (FEM) to simulate and solve capacitance, the results show that the relation of capacitance and temperature is almost linear in touch state of the sensor. At the same time, temperature sensitivities under different pressure are slight difference, which are 0.0056pF/K and 0.0040pF/K, respectively. Therefore, the high-temperature performance of the sensor is greatly outstanding.

ABSTRACTIn this research, a 1∼2 um NiCo film coated by electroplating technique as protection film in high temperature environment was studied. The improvements of hydrophilic property and high temperature stability by coating NiCo film upon pure Cu plate have been characterized through experiments. In thermal stability characterization, the specimens were put into a temperature-controlled oven and applied a thermal load at 100°C, 200°C and 300°C for annealing. After thermal annealing, the hydrophilic property was characterized to confirm that NiCo film was stable in high temperature environment. The hydrophilic property was represented by the contact angle between the DI water and the surface of NiCo film. The outgasing effect of contaminated polymer was also study. The electroplated NiCo film has advantages of good hydrophilic property, high temperature stability and easy fabrication. Therefore, the NiCo film could help the development of thermal related products.
