Short summary
This article introduces a new idea for a micro vacuum sensor. The measuring principle of the sensor is to measure the electrical conductivity of the residual gas in a vacuum chamber. The conductivity is measured between two electrodes that are only 300 nm apart. It has been shown that this type of sensor allows vacuum pressure measurement from atmospheric pressure to high vacuum at very low voltages.
