To; improve the Q value and couple coefficient,geometric parameters of chips; primary structures, such as the capacitance,inductance,vacuum cavity and; diaphragm,were optimized by numerical analysis with TCAD and; multi-physic field coupled-simulation softwares. Inductors relative; position,out of or inside the vacuum cavity was discussed,based on which; a dual-cavity chip design was proposed,reducing the bulk capacitance to; 179. 66 pF. Q value of sensitve chips fabricated with optimized; structure paramters was 13. 66 and 3. 65 at 20 ℃ and 1 000; ℃,respectively. The variation of the resonance frequency under full; scale 100 kPa was 158. 62 kHz at 20 ℃,which reduced to 55. 53 kHz when; the temperature rose to 1 000 ℃. These optimized chips could be applied; to prepare pressure sensors for harsh environment applications,which; would support the independent development of aero-engines,hypersonic; engines and heavy gas turbines.总装预先研究资助项
