This photo-acoustic sensor has been constructed from two silicon wafers: A sensor wafer includes a MEMS mechanical diaphragm microphone and piezoresistive gauges, together with capillaries and fluidic ports, and a second wafer caps the first, and includes the photo-acoustic cell, an expansion volume, SiGe waveguides to get light into the cell and electric contacts. It was made ...
