  • All silicon capacitive pressure sensor
    Patent number: 9783411
    Abstract: A configuration for a capacitive pressure sensor uses a silicon on insulator wafer to create an electrically isolated sensing node across a gap from a pressure sensing wafer. The electrical isolation, small area of the gap, and silicon material throughout the capacitive pressure sensor allow for minimal parasitic capacitance and avoid problems associated with thermal mismatch.
