Abstract:
A capacitive pressure sensor (100) includes a substrate wafer (114) and a diaphragm wafer (112). The substrate wafer defines a substrate recess (R") with a first depth (D2). The diaphragm wafer defines a diaphragm recess (R"') with a second depth (D3). The diaphragm wafer is bonded to the substrate wafer such that the substrate and diaphragm recesses form a height differentiated pressure chamber (126).
