To overcome this difficulty, a simple pressure-balancing module is proposed. Despite its small size and relative simplicity, with proper design and operation, micro-channel structure provides a solution to the pressure-balancing problem. If the channel size is sufficiently small, the gas-liquid interface may move back and forth without breach by the hydrostatic pressure since the surface tension can retain the interface surface continuously. One input port of the device is opened to an intermediate liquid, while the other port is connected to the air-backing chamber. As the hydrostatic pressure increases, the liquid in the micro-channel compresses the air, and the pressure in the backing chamber is then equalized to match the external hydrostatic pressure. To validate the performance of the proposed mechanism, a micro-channel prototype is designed and integrated with the piezoelectric micro-machined flexural sensor developed in our previous work. The working principle of the mechanism is experimentally verified. In addition, the effect of hydrostatic pressure on receiving sensitivity is evaluated and compared with predicted behavior.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1121\/1.3458837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,7]],"date-time":"2010-09-07T13:30:24Z","timestamp":1283866224000},"page":"1021-1032","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/aip-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A micro-machined piezoelectric flexural-mode hydrophone with air backing: A hydrostatic pressure-balancing mechanism for integrity preservation"],"prefix":"10.1121","volume":"128","author":[{"given":"Sungjoon","family":"Choi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) Department of Mechanical Engineering, , San 31, Hyojadong Namgu, Pohang, Kyungbuk 790-784, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haksue","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) Department of Mechanical Engineering, , San 31, Hyojadong Namgu, Pohang, Kyungbuk 790-784, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wonkyu","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) Department of Mechanical Engineering, , San 31, Hyojadong Namgu, Pohang, Kyungbuk 790-784, South Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"231","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023071520133874900_c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1016\/0250-6874(83)85044-6","article-title":"ZnO on Si integrated acoustic sensor","volume":"4","year":"1983","journal-title":"Sens.
