Abstract

See full text

The invention is related to a symmetrical capacitive differential pressure sensor formed by depositing onto a substrate (1) using the surface-micromachining methods of semiconductor device manufacturing technology. The sensor comprises the following, entirely from each other electrically insulated thin-film layers: an at least partially conducting sensing diaphragm (5) made from polysilicon and conducting counterelectrodes (3 and 7) adapted to both sides of the sensing diaphragm (5). According to the invention, said counter-electrodes (3 and 7) are made from polysilicon thin film and comprise at least one electrically conducting area.
