1 Piezoresistive Sensors
2 Outline Piezoresistivity of metal and semiconductor Gauge factor Piezoresistors Metal, silicon and polysilicon Close view of the piezoresistivity of single crystal silicon Considerations in the design of piezoresistive sensors Stress analysis of micro cantilevers and membranes (a second pass) Examples
3 Piezoresistivity of Metal and Semiconductor Piezoresistivity: resistance change due to internal stress or strain R = rl/a Internal stress or strain causes changes in either r, L or A, and then the resistance R. Piezoresistors can be made of metal or semiconductors. Metal Resistance changes mainly due to the deformation in L and A. Semiconductor Resistance changes mainly due to the change of r. Internal stress and strain change the mobility of charge carriers (holes and electrons).
4 R Gauge Factor R General Definition DR/R = G DL/L = G e (strain) Longitudinal gauge factor (resistance in the same direction of strain) G l = (DR/R) / e l Transverse gauge factor (resistance perpendicular to the direction of strain) G t = (DR/R) / e t Total piezoresistance always consists of two portions DR R = Ł DR R ł l + Ł DR R ł r = G l e + G l t e t
5 Piezoresistors DR DL = Dr DA el = Dr DA L Metallic strain gauges Gauge factor of 0.8~3.0. Metal deposition and patterning Single crystal silicon piezoresistors Require reasonable amount of resistance through doping (10 15 ~10 18 ). Gauge factor depends on the orientation of the piezoresistor with respect to the crystal direction. Polysilicon piezoresistors Can be deposited and patterned on different surfaces. Require reasonable amount of resistance through doping (10 15 ~10 18 ). Gauge factor depends on deposition condition and is lower than that of SCS.

8 Piezoresistivity of SCS
9 Stress Analysis in Micro Cantilever Beams The stress through the thickness of the cantilever changes from tensile stress to compressive stress. The maximum stress (strain) occurs at the top and bottom surfaces of the cantilever. Through the length of the cantilever, the maximum stress (strain) occurs at the fixed end. If the cantilever is made of homogeneous material with symmetrical geometry, the maximum tensile stress (strain) and the maximum compressive stress (strain) have the same magnitude. e Mt 2EI max = = Flt 2EI

11 Optimal Location of the Piezoresistors on Micro Cantilevers and Membranes
12 Considerations for the Design of Piezoresistive Sensors Material Metal v.s. Si and polysilicon The resistivity and nominal resistance (R) The gauge factor (G) Temperature sensitivity Minimize the TCR Use circuit for compensation The location of the piezoresistor Should be at the place with maximum stress or strain (e) Function of doping concentration DR = DR piezo + DR thermal = R G e + R TCR DT
13 DR Wheatstone Bridge Circuit = DR piezo + DR thermal = R G e + R TCR DT Piezoresistors are often also thermal resistors. Resistance change due to temperature variation can be reduced or eliminated using Wheatstone bridge circuit configuration. All the resistors encounter the same temperature variation
