摘要
This letter presents a flexible pressure sensor based on silicon nanowires (Si NWs) built by metal-assisted chemical (MAC) etching. The MAC etched NWs, with a height of 30 mu m and a diameter as small as 200 nm, were post-treated with polydimethylsiloxane to endow the NW sensor with elasticity and high-pressure resistance. The piezoresistance of the Si NWs varies from 1.03x10(6) to 5.3x 104 ohms as the applied pressure changes from0 to 4.5 kPa, indicating a resistance change rate of about 94%. The Si NW sensor also exhibits a fast response and recovery time as 0.3 s, it is capable of distinguishing pressure changes as lowas 0.3kPa, which isway lower than the perceivable range (10-40kPa) of human skin.
