Integrated circuit with pressure sensor having a pair of electrodes |
摘要 |
Disclosed is an integrated circuit (100), comprising a semiconductor substrate (110) carrying a plurality of circuit elements; and a pressure sensor including a cavity (140) on said semiconductor substrate, said cavity comprising a pair of electrodes (120, 122) laterally separated from each other; and a flexible membrane (130) over and spatially separated from said electrodes such that said membrane interferes with a fringe field between said electrodes, said membrane comprising at least one aperture (132). A method of manufacturing such an IC is also disclosed. |

1. An integrated circuit, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate carrying a plurality of circuit elements; and a pressure sensor including a cavity on said semiconductor substrate, said cavity comprising: a pair of electrodes laterally separated from each other; and a flexible membrane spatially separated from said electrodes such that said flexible membrane interferes with a fringe field between said electrodes, said flexible membrane comprising at least one aperture; and wherein the flexible membrane is not between said pair of electrodes and the flexible membrane is an electrically conductive flexible membrane. |
