Pressure fitting Figure 1 PTB210 and the standard accessories VAISALA 5 UsER s GUIDE The 210 barometers incorporate the silicon capacitive absolute pressure sensor developed by Vaisala The sensor features excellent hysteresis and repeatability characteristics and has an outstanding temperature and long term stability Silicon diaphragm Thin film metallization Silicon po Imi uri fari Glass Silicon Vacuum gap Figure 2 The BAROCAP pressure sensor The BAROCAPS pressure sensor consists of two 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 BAROCAPS 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
