Abstract
A sensor includes a membrane electrode, a counter-electrode, and at least one spring. The sensor can include a structure; a membrane electrode, which is deformable as a consequence of pressure and which is in contact with the structure; a counter-electrode mechanically connected to the structure and separated from the membrane electrode by a gap; and at least one spring mechanically connected to the membrane electrode and the counter-electrode, so as to exert an elastic force between the membrane electrode and the counter-electrode.
