Abstract
This research outlines the design of capacitive pressure sensors fabricated from three biocompatible materials, featuring both circular and square geometries. The sensors were structured with a dielectric layer positioned between gold-plated electrodes at the top and bottom. Their performance was assessed through simulations conducted with ANSYS Workbench. Of the various sensor configurations tested, the circular design that included two crescent-shaped slots and a 20 µm thick PDMS dielectric material demonstrated the highest sensitivity of 10.68 fF/mmHg. This study further investigated the relationship between resonant frequency shifts and arterial blood pressure, revealing an exceptionally linear response, as evidenced by a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of −0.99986 and an R-squared value of 0.99972. This confirmed the sensor’s applicability for obtaining precise blood pressure measurements. Additionally, a 3 × 30 mm cobalt–chromium (Co-Cr) stent was obtained, and its inductance was measured using an impedance analyzer.
