MBF110
Solid-State Fingerprint Sensor
Overview
The Fujitsu MBF110 Solid-State Fingerprint Sensor is a direct
contact, 铿乶gerprint acquisition device. It is a high performance,
low power, low cost, capacitive sensor with an integrated two-
dimensional array of metal electrodes in the sensing array. Each
metal electrode acts as one plate of a capacitor and the contacting
铿乶ger acts as the second plate. A passivation layer on the device
surface forms the dielectric between these two plates. Ridges and
valleys on the 铿乶ger yield varying capacitor values across the array,
which is read to form an image of the 铿乶gerprint.
