Title:

MEMS Design for Lower Drift Quartz Pressure Sensors

Agreement Number:

1033726

Agreement Value:

$450,000.00

Agreement Date:

Aug 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2027

Description:

This project will enable Phase Sensors to reduce drift in its pressure sensors. Drift is a critical specification for precision pressure sensors as it directly impacts the accuracy of a measurement over time. Sensors are typically re-calibrated at schedules determined by sensor drift rates. A lower drift rate means the sensor is more accurate for a longer period of time and does not need to be re-calibrated as often. Phase Sensors has demonstrated better drift performance than its main competitor at 25°C and 10,000psi. Initial testing between 20,000psi and 30,000psi indicate that further work needs to be done in sensor design to reduce drift rates at very high pressure.
