Abstract: A micro HUMFET with a polyimide(PI) film humisensing capaoitor lying on the insulating gate was developed. It is an n-channel enhancement mode device with a meandering gage of 10μm in channel length and >8000μm in channel width and with a double insulating gate(SiO2+Si3N4) of about 30nm.The hnmi-sensing capacitor lying on the insulating gate is an Au-PI-Al capacitor.
The structure design and operation principle of the PI-HUMFET were described.The measuring result of the characteristics of the device was reported and some relative problems were discussed.

Key words: humidity sensor, humidity, polyimide, FET
