  • Abstract
    This paper details the investigation into the piezoMOS effect and its possible use in a smart pressure sensor. Use of the ISE TCAD simulation packages for mechanical modelling (SOLIDIS) and semiconductor modelling (DESSIS) has made this investigation possible. Two different pressure membrane thicknesses are examined, upon which fully and partially depleted MOSFETs are modelled.
