Abstract:
A finger biometric sensor may include a lower conductive layer, an upper conductive layer, and a spacer between the lower and upper conductive layers to define an air gap therebetween. The finger biometric sensor may also include a finger biometric sensing integrated circuit (IC) above the upper conductive layer and capable of deflecting the upper conductive layer toward the lower conductive layer to change a capacitance thereof based upon pressure applied to the finger biometric sensing IC. A pressure sensing circuit may be coupled to the lower and upper conductive layers to sense the change in capacitance.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of sensing a change in capacitance using a finger biometric sensor comprising a lower conductive layer, an upper conductive layer, a spacer between the lower and upper conductive layers to define an air gap therebetween, and a finger biometric sensing integrated circuit (IC) above the upper conductive layer, the method comprising:\n using a pressure sensing circuit coupled to the lower and upper conductive layers to sense the change in capacitance caused by deflection of the upper conductive layer toward the lower conductive layer based upon pressure applied to the finger biometric sensing IC.
