Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the silicon cup structure also has the following problems: (1) due to the light weight of the stress diaphragm, the response speed of the sensor is low, and the resonance frequency is usually only around kilohertz, which limits the application of the sensor; (2) due to the large size of the substrate Due to the non-uniformity of material thickness and the limitation of surface smoothness, it is difficult to achieve the consistency of stress film thickness of different sensors in silicon cups prepared by anisotropic etching process, and the quality of stress film is the key to determining many characteristics of sensors factors, resulting in large performance differences between sensors; (3) deep anisotropic etching process is difficult to be compatible with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit planar process
