This study proposes a microfabricated resonant pressure sensor in which a pair of double-ended tuning forks were utilized as resonators where comb electrodes and single-crystal silicon-based piezoresistors were used for electrostatic excitation and piezoresistive detection, respectively. In operations, pressures under measurements deform the pressure-sensitive diaphragm to cause stress variations of two resonators distributed on the central and side positions of the pressure-sensitive diaphragm, where the corresponding changes of the intrinsic resonant frequencies are then captured piezoresistively. The developed resonant pressure sensors were fabricated based on MEMS with open-loop and closed-loop characterizations conducted. Key sensing parameters including quality factors, differential pressure/temperature sensitivities and fitting errors were quantified as higher than 17,000, 48.24 Hz/kPa, 0.15 Hz/°C and better than 0.01% F.S. (140 kpa), respectively. In comparison to previously reported resonant pressure sensors driven by parallel-plate electrodes, the developed sensor in this study is featured with a lower temperature sensitivity and a higher stability.
