Abstract
A pressure sensor using two capacitors for measuring a pressure stimulus includes a substrate having a diaphragm positioned at a center portion thereof. The diaphragm has a reduced thickness so that the diaphragm displaces upward and downward in response to a pressure stimulus. A first capacitor is provided on the diaphragm and at least a second capacitor is provided on a bulk portion of the substrate so as to be adjacent to the first capacitor. The first and the second capacitor are connected to each other in series, wherein capacitance differs between the first and the second capacitor when the diaphragm moves up and down in response to the pressure stimulus.
