In this paper a new research and development of the pressure sensors utilizing carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) arrays as the electron source in emission sensor or as the surface
increase element in capacitance sensor are presented. Both sensors consisted of the
two parts; elastic electrode-sensing film fabricated by wet anisotropic etching
process and solid electrode. The emission sensor has elastic anode electrode with
membrane and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) arrays cathode in the
vacuum chamber. The capacitance sensor has the same topology extensive by CNT
on both electrodes without vacuum chamber. The MWCNTs were grown by plasma
enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD).
