Abstract:
An example pressure sensor is described. The pressure sensor includes a capacitor, a first of ridges formed on a first side of the capacitor, and a second set of ridges formed on a second side of the capacitor. The first set of ridges extends outward from the first side of the capacitor and defines a plurality of grooves. The second set of ridges extends outward from the second side of the capacitor. Ridges of the second set of ridges are aligned with grooves of the plurality of grooves such that, when a force is applied to the capacitor, the force increases a surface area of the capacitor by corrugating the capacitor along the first set of ridges and the second set of ridges.
