Abstract: Amongst various pressure sensors, Piezoresistive type of pressure sensor is widely used because of its simple processing and fabrication. Hence in this paper a Piezoresistive pressure sensor is designed using SOI diaphragm.SOI material used to improve sensitivity and also used to achieve high reliability.The simulation is carried out using COMSOL/Multiphysics by considering the membrane geometry size, shape and location of piezoresistors.
