MEMS shielded capacitive pressure and force sensors with excellent thermal stability and high operating temperature

Abstract: In this paper, we present an innovative manufacturing process for the production of capacitive pressure and force sensors with excellent thermal stability for high-temperature applications. The sensors, which are manufactured from a stack of two silicon chips mounted via with gold–silicon (Au-Si) or aluminum–silicon (Al-Si) eutectic bonding, are shielded, miniaturized, and allow an operating temperature of up to 500 °C. Compared to conventional methods, the greatest benefit of the manufacturing process is that different sensor dimensions can be produced in the same batch for a wide measuring range, from mN to kN. The characterization of the realized sensors shows a high linearity and a low temperature drift of 99.992% FS and −0.001% FS/K at 350 °C, as well as a nonlinearity of 0.035% FS and a temperature drift of −0.0027% FS/K at 500 °C
