System-in Package of Integrated Humidity Sensor Using CMOS-MEMS Technology

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2015 Oct;15(10):7503-7. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2015.11162.

Abstract

Temperature/humidity microchips with micropump were fabricated using a CMOS-MEMS process and combined with ZigBee modules to implement a sensor system in package (SIP) for a ubiquitous sensor network (USN) and/or a wireless communication system. The current of a diode temperature sensor to temperature and a normalized current of FET humidity sensor to relative humidity showed linear characteristics, respectively, and the use of the micropump has enabled a faster response. A wireless reception module using the same protocol as that in transmission systems processed the received data within 10 m and showed temperature and humidity values in the display.
