Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) strain gauge pressure sensor includes a top wafer stack having a top surface and a first cavity that is configured to receive a first fluid at a first pressure, a backing wafer having a bottom surface opposite the top surface of the top wafer stack; a diaphragm wafer positioned between the top wafer stack and the backing wafer and having a second cavity that is configured to receive a second fluid at a second pressure, and a pedestal connected laterally to the top wafer stack, the backing wafer, and the diaphragm wafer. The diaphragm wafer includes a diaphragm extending between the first cavity and the second cavity, and a resistor positioned on the diaphragm. The MEMS strain gauge pressure sensor has a central axis such that the MEMS strain gauge pressure sensor has mechanical symmetries about the central axis.

Abstract: A MEMS pressure sensor includes a first plate with a hole on a diaphragm bonded to the first plate around its rim with the diaphragm positioned over the hole. An isolation frame is bonded to the diaphragm and a second plate with a pillar is bonded to the isolation frame around its rim to form a cavity such that the end of the pillar in the cavity is proximate a surface of the diaphragm. The diaphragm and second plate form a capacitive sensor which changes output upon deflection of the diaphragm relative to the second plate.

Abstract: A packaged pressure sensor assembly is disclosed that includes a pressure sensor including an upper substrate and a lower substrate bonded to one another by way of a first glass frit having a first bonding temperature, so as to define a hermetically sealed pressure sensing chamber therebetween, and a housing defining an internal cavity having a base with a support surface for supporting the pressure sensor, wherein the pressure sensor is bonded to the support surface of the base by a second glass frit having a second bonding temperature that is lower than the first bonding temperature.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a capacitive micromechanical electrical system (MEMS) pressure sensor includes the steps of forming a backing wafer, forming a diaphragm wafer that includes a diaphragm configured to deflect from an applied force and a pressure cavity configured to produce on the diaphragm the applied force which is indicative of a system pressure; fusing the diaphragm wafer to the backing wafer thereby forming a base wafer, forming a top wafer, joining the top wafer to the base wafer, thereby forming a detector wafer. The diaphragm defines a first capacitor surface and the top wafer defines a second capacitor surface. A void separates the second capacitor surface from the first capacitor surface by a separation distance which is a capacitor gap. A capacitive MEMS pressure sensor is also disclosed.
