20 July 1999Noise analysis and a comparative study of noise in MEMS and MOEMS
In recent years Micro Electro mechanical systems (MEMS) and micro opto electro mechanical systems (MOEMS) have grown in importance, especially in smart structure applications. In this paper a theoretical comparative study is made analyzing three different types of micro pressure sensors. MEMS type pressure sensors of the piezo-resistive and capacitive type are considered along with MOEM pressure sensor of the Fabry- Perot interferometric type. It is found that piezo resistive and capacitive pressure sensors in the micro form attain improved noise performance as compared to their bulk counterparts. The opto-mechanical sensors shows better noise performance than the capacitive sensor, when the limiting noise is due to Brownian motion.
