A novel microsensor consisted of piezoresistive and thermal resistive components is designed and fabricated. A 50 μm thick silicon diaphragm is used, thicker than that of the conventional piezoresistive pressure sensor, which extends the high stress area in the bulk silicon, and increases the linear operating range as well as the burst pressure. Novel meandering shape piezoresistors are designed with optimized structure parameters, parts of which are fabricated on the high stress bulk silicon to obtain high sensitivity. The thermistors are fabricated on the bulk silicon with the same implantation process as the piezoresistors. Good temperature linearity and sensitivity are obtained, and the fabrication is simplified. The whole fabrication is low-cost, high yield and compatible with the standard IC process. Primary measured results are presented.
