Abstract

See full text

Techniques for measuring vacuum pressure using a memristor element are described. A vacuum sensor can include a memristor element having a semiconductor substrate, a memristive material layer, and a conductive electrode. The off-state resistance of the memristor element can be sensitive to changes in ambient pressure at the element. The off-state resistance of the memristor element may also exhibit a well-defined increase at pressures below a threshold pressure. Measurement of the off-state resistance may be obtained with low power consumption and without changing the resistance or switching the state of the memristor element. The measurements may be used to both determine a leak rate of the ambient pressure within the volume of interest and determine if the sensor is exposed to vacuum pressure below the threshold pressure.
