Abstract:	A capacitive differential pressure sensor has been developed. The process used for the fabrication of the sensor is IC-compatible, meaning that the device potentially can be integrated on one chip with a suitable signal-conditioning circuit. A sensor for a differential pressure of ±1 bar has been fabricated and tested with a frequency-modulated detection circuit, and good agreement is found with the theoretical model of the sensor. A nominal sensitivity ¿C/C of 17% has been measured for a positive differential pressure of 1 bar. The resolution of the complete detection system is 2.5 mbar (250 Pa).
