Zhu and SpronckF.Zhu, J.W.Spronck.Sensors and Actuators 1992, A(31):115~120 The flexible tactile force sensor studied can only detect the distribution of normal force and one-dimensional tangential force at the same time, but in the robot sensor system It is often necessary to detect the distribution of tangential forces in two directions, and none of the above situations is sufficient to fully and accurately evaluate the surface contact situation
Recently, scholars such as Santos (R.F.Santos, P.F.Rocha, et al.EEE ISIE 2005, June 20-23, 2005, Dubrovnik, Croatia, 1539~1544) reported a flexible tactile force sensor that can simultaneously measure three-way force. The size is relatively large, and the manufacturing process is not compatible with MEMS processing technology, so it is difficult to achieve mass production

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a flexible capacitive touch sensor, which belongs to the technical field of flexible micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Background technique [0002] At present, MEMS micro-electromechanical system sensor technology has also developed rapidly due to the continuous progress of micro-processing technology, but most sensors are based on conventional micro-processing technology and are fabricated on rigid substrates such as glass, silicon, and quartz. However, in practical applications, with the increasing demand for flexible structural sensors that can be attached to the surface of arbitrary high-curvature objects, rigid substrate micromachining technology is difficult to meet the needs of applications such as robotic sensitive skin, limb repair technology, foldable electronic devices and wearable Special application requirements such as electronic systems require continuous development of various fl...
