High temperature pressure sensor is the most commonly used pressure transmitter in industrial practice. It is widely used in various industrial automatic control environments, involving oil pipelines, water conservancy and hydropower, railway transportation, intelligent buildings, production automatic control, aerospace, military industry, petrochemical, oil wells, electric power, ships, machine tools, pipeline air supply, boilers, furnaces and many other industries.


1. Product Overview

High temperature pressure sensors are designed to measure the pressure of various gases and liquids in high temperature environments. They are mainly used to measure the pressure in boilers, pipelines, high temperature reaction vessels, downhole pressure and pressure in various engine cavities, high temperature oil level and detection, oil well pressure measurement and other fields. The most studied high temperature pressure sensors include semiconductor sensors such as SOS, SOI, SiO2, Poly2Si, as well as sputtered alloy film high temperature pressure sensors, high temperature optical fiber pressure sensors and high temperature capacitive pressure sensors. Compared with piezoresistive pressure sensors, semiconductor capacitive pressure sensors have high sensitivity, good temperature stability, low power consumption, and are only sensitive to pressure, not stress. Therefore, capacitive pressure sensors are widely used in many fields.

The high temperature pressure sensor is composed of a silicon diaphragm, a substrate, a lower electrode and an insulating layer. The lower electrode is located on a thick supported substrate. An insulating layer is evaporated on the electrode. The silicon diaphragm is formed by etching from the front and back sides of a silicon wafer using anisotropic etching technology. The gap between the upper and lower electrodes is determined by the etching depth of the silicon wafer. The silicon diaphragm and the substrate are bonded together using bonding technology to form a silicon diaphragm capacitive pressure sensor with a certain stability.

2. Working Principle

Working principle of high temperature pressure sensor The pressure of the wind pressure sensor acts directly on the diaphragm of the sensor, causing the diaphragm to produce a micro-displacement proportional to the medium pressure, causing the resistance of the sensor to change, and using electronic circuits to detect this change and convert and output a standard signal corresponding to this pressure.
