This paper presents the design and manufacturing of a passive pressure sensor that contains a variable capacitor and a copper-electroplated planar inductor. The sensor is fabricated using silicon bulk micro-machining, electroplating, and anodic bonding technology. The finite element method is used to model the deflection of the silicon diaphragm and extract the capacitance change corresponding to the applied pressure. Within the measurement range from 5 to 100 kPa, the sensitivity of the sensor is 0.052 MHz\/kPa, the linearity is 2.79%, and the hysteresis error is 0.2%. Compared with the sensitivity at 27 \u00b0C, the drop of output performance is 3.53% at 140 \u00b0C.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi7050087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,10]],"date-time":"2016-05-10T08:52:17Z","timestamp":1462870337000},"page":"87","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Design and Manufacturing of a Passive Pressure Sensor Based on LC Resonance"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Cheng","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]},{"given":"An-Lin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]},{"given":"Zhan","family":"Zhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]},{"given":"Ling-Yun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]},{"given":"Dao-Heng","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1109\/TBME.1967.4502474","article-title":"Miniature passive pressure transensor for implanting in the eye","volume":"14","author":"Collins","year":"1967","journal-title":"Biomed.
