Micromachined piezoresistive tactile sensor array fabricated by bulk-etched MUMPs process
The design, fabrication and testing of a 5 5 micromachined tactile sensor array for the detection of an extremely small force (micrometer-Newton range) has been discussed. An anisotropic etching of silicon substrate of a MUMPs process chip forms a central contacting pads that are trampoline-shape suspended structures and sensor beams. A piezoresistive layer of polysilicon embedded in sensor beams is used to detect the displacement of the suspended contacting pad. Each square tactile has dimension of 200 m 200 m with 250 m center-to-center spacing. The entire sensor area
