Abstract
A novel pressure sensor using piezoresistive silicon nanowires (SiNWs) embedded in the suspended multi-layered diaphragm was investigated by a probe-based dynamic cycling test. Even under compressive strain of 1.5% after 3.6×105 cycles, there is no observed drift and degradation in sensor characteristics.
