Abstract

A capacitance-variable pressure sensor is disclosed. The capacitance-variable pressure sensor includes a double layer flexible circuit board, a multi-layer ceramic capacitor, and a soft conductive pad. The multi-layer ceramic capacitor is positioned in adjacent to the soft conductive pad. The double layer flexible circuit board is configured with a through hole or a notch, and is positioned between the multi-layer ceramic capacitor and the soft conductive pad. The multi-layer ceramic capacitor is positioned above the through hole or notch, and the soft conductive pad is positioned under the through hole or notch. The multi-layer ceramic capacitor includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes an external electrode or a plurality of external electrodes. The second member includes a ceramic dielectric, and a plurality of internal electrode layers disposed inside the ceramic dielectric. Each external electrode is connected to internal electrode layers.
