A pressure sensor (11) and its method of fabrication include etching a V-groove (19) in a first surface (16) of a first substrate (12), bonding a second substrate (24) to the first substrate (12), thinning the second substrate (24) to form a diaphragm (32) overlying the V-groove (19), and etching a port (38) from the second surface (18) of the first substrate (12) to the V-groove (19). Tetra-methyl-ammonium-hydroxide is preferably used to anisotropically etch the V-groove (19), and an anisotropic plasma reactive ion etch is preferably used to etch the port (38).
