總結:This research presents the design of CMOS-MEMS device with embedded microheater operating at relatively elevated temperatures (40°C to 150°C) for the purpose of relative humidity measurement. It is designed, simulated, fabricated and characterized to resolve the problem of reversibility and stability. The sensing principle is based on the change in amplitude of the CMOS-MEMS device due to adsorption/absorption or desorption of humidity on the active material layer of titanium dioxide (Ti02) deposited on the moving plate that results in changes in the mass of the device. The CMOS-MEMS device is operated in the dynamic mode using electrothermal actuation by applying an AC current through the embedded microheater to produce vibrations. These vibrations induce stress at the anchor points of the supporting beams resulting in change of the resistance of the piezoresistors (PZR) which can be measured using a Wheatstone bridge arrangement.
