The sensitive unit is the PIN photodiode. The chip with a size of 10 × 8 mm2 has 128 photodiodes, and each row has 64 photodiodes. The device design, fabrication process and package are introduced in the paper. The photocurrent of the packaged chip was systematically tested with a red laser. Also the diameter of one water drop and the space between two water drops were measured. The minimum raindrop diameter which can be tested in this paper is 100 μm. This device can be useful for rainfall prediction.展开更多

It can be used in lumbar puncture surgery to measure intracranial pressure. Minia- turization is key for lumbar puncture surgery because the sensor must be small enough to allow it be placed in the reagent chamber of the lumbar puncture needle. The size of the sensor is decided by the size of the sensor chip and package. Our sensor chip is based on silicon piezoresistive effect and the size is 400 × 400 μm2. It is much smaller than the reported polymer intracranial pressure sensors such as liquid crystal polymer sensors. In terms of package, the traditional dual in-line package obviously could not match the size need, the minimal size of recently reported MEMS-based intracranial pressure sensors after packaging is 10 × 10 mm2. In this work, we are the first to introduce a quad flat no-lead package as the package form of piezoresistive intracranial pressure sensors, the whole size of the sensor is minimized to only 3 × 3 mm2. Considering the liquid measurement environment, the sensor is gummed and waterproof performance is tested; the sensitivity of the sensor is 0.9 × 10-2 mV/kPa.展开更多
