1.Basic Principles of MEMS Pressure Sensors
MEMS pressure sensors operate based on piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric or resonant principles. 예를 들어, piezoresistive sensors measure pressure through a Wheatstone bridge and have high sensitivity. 하지만, factors such as high temperature drift affect their accuracy, which has become a challenge limiting their development. Capacitive sensors are characterized by low power consumption and good temperature stability, but parasitic effects have an impact on their accuracy.
2. Micro Differential Pressure Sensor (MDPS)
MDPS is widely used in medical equipment, fire outlet pressure monitoring, 등. It is especially suitable for high-precision measurements in small pressure ranges. In recent years, MDPS has evolved from the traditional flat membrane structure to a more complex “beam-membrane-island” design to improve sensitivity and reduce non-linearity.
