Task Pressure Sensor

Task description:

Design a piezoresistive pressure sensor to be used for the pressure measurement in the range from 0.5 kPa to 5 kPa.

  • Give the output voltage corresponding to the pressure of 0.5 kPa.
  • Provide the technical drawings showing the configuration of piezoresistive gauges.

Introduction:

With the help of tutorials and recommended literature:

  • Choose a suitable technology for sensor fabrication,
  • Give its dimensions,
  • Show the configuration of piezoresistors and
  • Estimate the voltage corresponding to the pressure of 0.5 kPa.
