Abstract
A pressure difference sensor includes first and second counterelectrodes, a conductive disk between the counterelectrodes, a first insulating layer connecting an outer edge of the disk with an outer edge of the first counterelectrode forming a first pressure chamber, a second insulating layer connecting an outer edge of the disk with an outer edge of the second counterelectrode forming a second pressure chamber, an opening in the first counterelectrode, via which the first pressure chamber is contactable with a first pressure, and an opening in the second counterelectrode, via which the second pressure chamber is contactable with a second pressure. The disk is divided into inner and outer regions, the inner region includes a measuring membrane arranged between the two pressure chambers and an edge region, the inner region forms with each of the counterelectrodes a capacitor having a capacitance dependent on a pressure difference acting on the measuring membrane.
