Abstract:An offset shift failure mode is well known in characterizing MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors. However, the root cause could be either mechanical or electrical. Electrical charge can create a leakage path between implanted traces, whereas mechanical stress will influence the piezoresistors on the surface. Here we look closely at the charge-induced cause and calculate the contribution of such input. We describe two methods for extracting the surface charge density present in our samples. The first approach … Show more
