Abstract(in English) In order to solve the problem of the cavitation erosion on an artificial heart valve, it is necessary to measure the pressure distribution on the vicinity of the valve with a high spatial resolution. Using a finite element method, we have designed a microsensor, and have fabricated the sensor in micromachining processes. The fabricated sensor could measure the pressure range from -700 to 1100 mmHg with the pressure sensing area of 250 μm square. Through this study, the practical feasibility of the designed sensor was verified.
