Baltes, "CMOS Integration of a Thermal Pressure Sensor System", Proceedings of IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and System (ISCAS `96), vol. I, Atlanta, USA, pp. 377-380, 1996. Abstract - We report the integration of a CMOS thermal pressure sensor system for the range of 102 to 106 Pa. The operating principle of the sensor is based on the pressure-dependent heat transfer across the air gap separating a heat source from a heat sink. After completion of the double metal CMOS process the sensor structure is obtained by a fully CMOS-compatible sacrificial metal etching. The microsystem includes both sensor and a readout circuit. The interface circuit compensates for temperature effects and provides a bitstream at the system output representing the ambient pressure. |

Checklist: Selecting Pressure Transducers
Pressure transducers are found in numerous OEM applications, and they are used widely in process control. The introduction of the microprocessor has increased the functionality and expanded the use of pressure transducers over the past 15 years.
Selecting the proper pressure transducer for any application requires a close look at the following criteria:
|
over a given range. Performance shown as a coefficient or error band is guaranteed over that temperature range. Outside of that range, larger errors should be anticipated.
