Monolithic SOI-MEMS capacitive pressure sensor with standard bulk CMOS readout circuit

Abstract

We report an integrated monolithic micromechanical capacitive pressure sensor circuit based on novel method for fabricating pressure detecting vacuum cavities into buried oxide of SOI-wafer. The method allows fabricating the readout circuit with standard bulk CMOS process. The readout circuit of the pressure sensor is a low-power CMOS relaxation oscillator.
