Design of a Novel Capacitive Pressure Sensor

A novel capacitive pressure sensor based on surface micromachining technology is proposed and simulated. The sense element is considered as a parallel plate capacitor with one electrode fixed to the substrate, and the other suspended on a polysilicon diaphragm. In the presence of an oil pressure, th...
