Problems solved by technology

[0004] The use of two sets of independent structures for driving and detecting makes the sensor structure more complicated and the process flow increases accordingly. For the uncommercialized MEMS process technology, this reduces the stability of the system and the yield of the microstructure, greatly Increased cost; on the other hand, two energy conversions from electrical signals to mechanical frequency signals and then from mechanical frequency signals to electrical signals increase the loss of the system and reduce the reliability of the system
In short, the sensor system is complex, susceptible to interference, and loss increases, seriously affecting the performance and stability of the sensor system, and increasing the difficulty and cost of sensor manufacturing, hindering the application and development of resonant MEMS microsensors
However, if the two independent structures of drive and incentive are combined into one, the above problems can be well avoided. There is no report on this aspect yet.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] A resonant MEMS micro-cantilever beam self-excited oscillation self-detection sensor is composed of a MEMS resonant structure and a corresponding closed-loop self-excited oscillation circuit. The MEMS resonant structure is a micro cantilever beam with only one set of self-excited oscillation self-detection structure. The micro-cantilever beam is a sensitive structure for the sensor to perceive changes in the external environment, and its function is to convert measured physical or chemical quantities in the environment, such as gas molecules, environmental damping, acceleration, etc., into frequency variations. The closed-loop self-excited oscillation circuit is characterized by comprising: a differential mode compensation network, a filter circuit, an amplifier circuit, a phase shift circuit and a drive limiter circuit.

[0033]When the closed-loop self-excited oscillating circuit is working, there will be some noise signals in the environment after the entire system i...

Background technique [0002] With the development of MEMS technology, MEMS microsensors have the characteristics of small size, light weight, fast response, low power consumption, low cost, easy array integration, etc., and are more and more widely used in various fields of production and life. There is a large class of MEMS sensors that belong to the resonant sensor. The MEMS structure enters the resonance state under the excitation of the natural frequency, and the change of the physical quantity of the external environment will change the natural frequency of the system, thereby causing the re...
