Abstract

In this work is presented the fabrication of a thin film membrane as a bio-transducer for aural assistance detection, therefore it will operate at low pressure. The resonant membrane was deposited by PECVD technique at low temperature of deposition T=270°C, using SiH4, GeH4, and Boron gases. The membrane was suspended on a micromachined crystalline silicon frame obtained by wet chemical etching. The a-SiGe:B film presented a resistivity of 2.46×103 (Ω-cm), resistance of 20.8kΩ. Using these experimental data we succeeded in designing a simple structure for sensing low pressure variations. The output voltage of the sensor was measured for a range of pressure from 0 to 3000Pa and at bias voltage of 10V.
