Abstract
• Pressure sensor chip utilizing novel electrical circuit with BJT was developed. • The sensitivity increase is 3.6X for new circuit regarding values Wheatstone bridge. • Temperature errors and noise of output signal were minimized. • The reduction of chip size and increase of pressure overload capability. • Placing BJTs on the diaphragm provides only 1%–5% increase of pressure sensitivity. The paper presents MEMS pressure sensor chip utilizing novel electrical circuit with bipolar-junction transistor-based (BJT) differential amplifier with negative feedback loop (PDA-NFL). Pressure sensor chips with two circuits have been manufactured and tested: the first chip uses circuit with vertical n-p-n (V-NPN) BJTs and the second – circuit with horizontal p-n-p (L-PNP) BJTs. The demonstrated approach allows for increase of pressure sensitivity while keeping the same chip size regarding the chip with Wheatstone bridge circuit: 3.6X for circuit utilizing V-NPN BJTs and 2.4X for circuit utilizing L-PNP BJTs. Significant reduction of both noise and temperature instability of output signal has been demonstrated: output signal noise is about 15 μV (U sup = 5 V) and temperature errors have only 2–3 times higher values regarding the chip with Wheatstone bridge circuit.
