Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microelectromechanical system capacitive humidity sensor based on a standard CMOS process, in particular to a capacitive humidity sensor with a cantilever beam structure. Background technique [0002] Humidity sensors have a wide range of application potential in the fields of automobile industry, aerospace, medicine, military, meteorological detection, environmental sanitation, biological science, information technology and so on. Its development has evolved from traditional humidity sensors such as psychrometers and hair hygrometers to miniature humidity sensors (including capacitive, resistive, piezoresistive, optical, etc.) that can be manufactured using standard CMOS processes. Whether it is a resistive humidity sensor or a silicon-based integrated humidity sensor, its self-heating effect often affects the measurement accuracy. For example, at room temperature, when the operating current exceeds 300uA, the self-heating e...
