This paper describes fabrication of relative type capacitive pressure sensor to be in great demand for many fields. The fabricated sensor consists of two parts` a sensing diaphragm and a pyrox glass cover. The sensor size is 4.5${\times}3.4mm$^{2})$ and 400$\mu$m thick. To improve the nonlinearity, this sensor is designed a rectangular silicon diaphragm with a center boss structure, and in order to improve the temperature characteristics of the sensor in a packaging process, the sensing element is mounted on the pyrex glass support. Some suggestions toward the design and fabrication of improved sensors have been presented. The zero pressure capacitance, Co of sensor is 26.57pF, and the change of capacitance, ${\Delta}$C is 1.55pF from 0Kgf/Cm$^{2}$ to 1Kgf/Cm$^{2}$ at room temperature. The nonlinearity of the sensor output with center boss diaphragm is 1.29%F.S., and thermal zero shift and thermal sensitivity shift is less than 1.43%F.S./$^{\circ}C$and 0.14% F.S./$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

There are many ways to detect the heart rate non-invasively such as ECG, PPG, strain gauge, and pressure sensor. In this paper, the pulse wave measurement system using bipolar biased head on mode of the Hall sensor is proposed for measuring the radial artery pulse. TMS320F2812 was used to implement the proposed system and a portable wireless network(zig-bee) was used to show the experimental result. It was confirmed from experiment that the performance of the implemented system was more stable and faster than PPG sensor or piezoelectric film pressure sensor.

In this paper, We fabricated a high temperature pressure sensor using SBD(silicon- direct-bonding) wafer of $Si/SiO_2$/Si-sub structure. This sensor was very sensitive because the piezoresistor is fabricated by single crystal silicon of the first layer of SDB wafer. Also, it was possible to operate the sensor at high temperature over $120^{\circ}C$ which is the temperature limitation of general silicon sensor because the piezoresistor was dielectric isolation from silicon substrate using silicon dioxide of the second layer. The sensitivity of this sensor is very high as the measured result of D2200 shows $183.6\;{\mu}V/V{\cdot}kPa$. Also, the output characteristic of linearity was very good. This sensor was available at high temperature as $300^{\circ}C$.

A pressure sensor that mimics the sensing ability of human skin has emerged as high-profile technology because it shows remarkable applications in numerous fields such as robotics, human health monitoring, and artificial prosthetics. Whereas recent pressure sensors have achieved high sensitivity similar to that of human skin, they still show limited detection bandwidth. Moreover, once these e-skin are fabricated, their sensitivity and stiffness are fixed; therefore, they can be used for only limited applications. Our study proposes a new adaptive pressure sensor built with uniform gallium microdroplet-elastomer composite. Based on the phase transition of gallium microdroplets, the proposed sensor undergoes mode transformation, enabling it to have a higher sensitivity and wider detection bandwidth compared with those of human skin. In addition, we succeeded in extending a single adaptive pressure sensor to sensor arrays based on its high uniformity, reproducibility, and large-scale manufacturability. Finally, we designed an adaptive e-skin with the sensor array and demonstrated its applications on health monitoring tasks including blood pulse and body weight measurements.

A fiber-optic pressure sensor is fabricated with a photoelastic glass material. To remove the influence of external pertubation along the optical fiber, a new referencing technique is proposed by using two light sources. LED with 870nm wavelength is used as light source for reference signal, and LED with 660nm wavelength is used as light source for modulation signal. The fiber-optic pressure sensor system shows good linearity within the pressure range of 0 to 5 $kg/cm^2$.

In this paper, a new capacitive pressure sensor has been proposed for a displacement measurement. The new sensor is mainly composed of a gap of $5{\mu}m$ and a notch of $1{\mu}m$. And the sensor has the performance as the high sensitivity and capacitance compared with a commercial capacitive sensor. Therefore, the advantages of the new capacitive pressure sensor are good sensitivity in normal range, mechanically robust and large overload protection. The analytical model is induced for confirming the performance of the proposed sensor. In addition, FEM (finite elements method) simulation has been performed to verify the analytical model. Firstly, the displacement characteristics of diaphragm membrane were simulated by the analytical model and FEM in the case of different structure and materials. At last, through this analysis, these simulation results can be predicted the change of the performance when the device parameters are varied. And it is used as a design tool to achieve at a set of performance we desired.

The sensing of a stack coolant deficiency is very important in that cooling performance of a fuel cell, overheating prevention of a stack or coolant heater. This paper explains the performance comparison between the coolant contact/noncontact level sensors and coolant deficiency sensing logic using the pressure sensor in a stagnant or circulating flow. Throughout the comparison, the pressure sensor is more suitable than the other sensors in terms of the precision, fast response, sensing frequency. After the experiment, the pressure sensor is equipped to an FCEV(Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) to verify sensing definitely. There was no miss-sensing using pressure sensor while FCEV runs in the conditions of the paved road and cross country road.

Among the various physiological information that could be obtained from human body, heartbeat rate is a commonly used vital sign in the clinical milieu. Photoplethysography (PPG) sensor is incorporated into many wearable healthcare devices because of its advantages such as simplicity of hardware structure and low-cost. However, healthcare device employing PPG sensor has been issued in susceptibility of light and motion artifact. In this paper, to develop the real-time heart rate measurement device that is less sensitive to the external noises, we have fabricated an ultra-small wireless LC resonant pressure sensor by MEMS process. After performance evaluation in linearity and repeatability of the MEMS pressure sensor, heartbeat waveform and rate on radial artery were obtained by using resonant frequency-pressure conversion method. The measured data using the proposed heartbeat rate measurement system was validated by comparing it with the data of an commercialized heart rate measurement device. Result of the proposed device was agreed well to that of the commercialized device. The obtained real time heartbeat wave and rate were displayed on personal mobile system by bluetooth communication.
