The invention relates to a
pressure sensor and a sensor. The
pressure sensor comprises a sensor element (WB) in the form of a
Wheatstone bridge and having four piezoresistive resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4), and a reference element (RW) in the form of a reference
Wheatstone bridge and having four piezoresistive reference resistors (R5, R6, R7, R8), the reference resistors (R5, R6, R7, R8) being arranged in the same way as the resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4), the
pressure sensor being arranged on a
single crystal and comprising a cavity closed on one side by a diaphragm, the resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4) being arranged at least partially on the diaphragm, the reference resistors (R5, R6, R7, R8) not being arranged on the diaphragm, the first to fourth resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4) respectively being identical to the fifth to eighth resistors (R5, R6, R7, R8) in that they are constructed in the same way, and the reference
Wheatstone bridge (RW) serving as a
reference noise source for subsequent
signal processing.
