Abstract
A micromechanical piezoresistive pressure sensor includes a diaphragm configured to mechanically deform in response to an applied load, a sensor substrate located on the diaphragm, and a number of piezoresistive resistance devices located on the sensor substrate. The piezoresistive resistance devices are arranged in a first planar array defining a grid pattern having two or more rows, each row being aligned in a first direction. The piezoresistive resistance devices are configured to be electrically connected in a number of bridge circuits, whereby the piezoresistive resistance devices in each row is electrically connected in an associated bridge circuit. A method of using the micromechanical piezoresistive pressure sensor is also disclosed.
