摘要: Pressure sensors that may be used in flowrate monitoring or measuring systems, where the pressure sensors may enable simple, low-cost designs that are readily implemented. One example may provide a pressure sensor having a built-in flow path with a dimensional variation. Pressures of a fluid on each side of the dimensional variation may be compared to each other. The measured differential pressure may then be converted to a flowrate through the flow path.

摘要: Structures and methods of protecting membranes on pressure sensors. One example may provide a pressure sensor having a backside cavity defining a frame and under a membrane formed in a device layer. The pressure sensor may further include a cap joined to the device layer by a bonding layer. A recess for a reference cavity may be formed in one or more of the cap, bonding layer, and membrane or other device layer portion. The recess may have a width that is narrower than a width of the backside cavity in at least one direction. In other examples, the recess may be shaped such that it has an outer edge that is within an outer edge of the backside cavity. This may reinforce a junction of the device layer and frame. The recess may define an active membrane spaced away from the device layer and backside cavity junction.

摘要: Reliable flow sensors with enclosures that have predictable thermal variations and reduced mechanical tolerances for a more consistent fluid flow and more consistent flow measurements. Thermal variations can be made predictable by using etched structures in silicon blocks. Mechanical tolerances can be reduced using lithography and high-precision semiconductor manufacturing equipment and techniques.
