Problems solved by technology

Large and / or sudden vibrations of the diaphragm by ambient pressure can cause ruptures in the diaphragm and thus render the sensor inoperable
Fabricating a robust diaphragm sensor that is eg shock resistant can be very challenging due to problems often arising in calibrating the correct spring force (elastic constant) of the diaphragm and thus the correct operating voltage of the device

Description

technical field [0001] Various embodiments relate to sensors that may include photonic crystal sensing elements and methods for fabricating sensors with photonic crystal sensing elements. Background technique [0002] Many sensor devices rely on vibrating crystal diaphragms to function. Vibration of the diaphragm can generate signals that can be converted into electrical impulses. However, the diaphragm is stressed by this vibration. Large and / or sudden vibrations of the diaphragm by ambient pressure can cause ruptures in the diaphragm and thus render the sensor inoperable. Fabricating a robust diaphragm sensor, eg shock resistant, can be very challenging as problems often arise in calibrating the correct spring force (elastic constant) of the diaphragm and thus the correct operating voltage of the device. A sensor and method for making a sensor is disclosed that can perform many of the same functions of a crystalline membrane sensor but without moving parts. Contents o...
