The BAROCAP® pressure sensor consists of 2 layers of single crystal silicon having a layer of
glass between them. The thinner silicon layer creates an integrated vacuum reference
chamber, and forms a pressure-sensitive silicon diaphragm. The thicker silicon layer is the rigid
base plate of the sensor, and it is clad with a glass dielectric. Thin film metallization has been
deposited to form a capacitor electrode inside the vacuum reference chamber. The other
electrode is the pressure-sensitive silicon diaphragm.

The coefficients of thermal expansion of silicon and glass materials used in the BAROCAP®
pressure sensor are carefully matched together to minimize the temperature dependence, and
to maximize the long-term stability. The BAROCAP® pressure sensor is designed to achieve
zero temperature dependence at 1000 hPa, and its long-term stability has been maximized by
thermal ageing at an elevated temperature.
