| Abstract | This paper presents a low-cost, thermal conductivity based humidity sensor implemented using a 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS process where suspended p-n junction diodes are used as the humidity sensitive elements. In this method, the difference between the thermal conductivities of air and water vapor at high temperatures is used. Humidity sensing idea is to compare the output voltages of two heated and thermally isolated diodes one of which is exposed to the environment and has a humidity dependent thermal conductance while the other is sealed and has a fixed thermal conductance. Thermal isolation is obtained by a simple front-end bulk silicon etching process in a TMAH solution, while the diodes are protected by electrochemical etch-stop technique. Electrical connections to the suspended diodes are obtained with polysilicon interconnect layers in order to increase the thermal resistance so that the diodes are heated to the desired temperature levels with less power. Due to the high electrical resistance of the polysilicon, temperature sensitivities of the diodes reduced to -1.3 mV/K at 100 /spl mu/A bias level. The diodes are connected to the readout circuit monolithically using the standard CMOS fabrication. Characterization results show that the humidity sensitivity of the sensor is 14.3 mV/%RH, 26 mV/%RH, and 46.9 mV/%RH for 20/spl deg/C, 30/spl deg/C, and 40/spl deg/C, respectively, with a nonlinearity less than 0.3%. Hysteresis of the sensor is less than 1%. The chip operates from a 5 V supply and dissipates only 1.38 mW power. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
