Mems humidity sensor and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

A micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) humidity sensor includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a sensing structure. The second substrate is substantially parallel to the first substrate. The sensing structure is between the first substrate and the second substrate, and bonded to a portion of the first substrate and a portion of the second substrate, in which the second substrate includes a conductive layer facing the sensing structure, and a first space between the first substrate and the sensing structure is communicated with or isolated from outside, and a second space between the conductive layer and the sensing structure is communicated with an atmosphere, and the sensing structure, the second space and the conductive layer constitute a capacitor configured to measure permittivity of the atmosphere, and humidity of the atmosphere is derived from the permittivity of the atmosphere, pressure of the atmosphere and temperature.
