Micro-inertial sensor with variable pitch capacitor and method for producing the same

Abstract

The invention relates to a microinertia sensor of a variable pitch capacitor and a preparation method thereof. The prior product limits the increase in the mass of the sensor vibration generator and the decrease in the polar plate pitch. A sensor mass block is a rectangular silicon chip etched with fence-shaped strips, the two corresponding ends are connected with anchor points by a silicon supporting beam, and the other two corresponding ends are respectively provided with silicon strips with the same quantity and corresponding positions. Driver mass blocks are arranged at the two sides of the sensor mass block, an annular groove is etched in the middle, the two sides are provided with movable driving silicon strips and comb detection silicon strips, and the silicon strips connected with the sensor mass block and the corresponding detection silicon strips form a detection capacitor. The comb strips of the fixed driving silicon strips and the movable driving silicon strips from a driving capacitor. The sensor mass block corresponding to the bottom surface of the glass underlay is provided with interdigital aluminum electrodes, and each fence-shaped strip of the sensor mass block corresponds to each pair of interdigitals in the interdigital aluminum electrodes. The invention has simple technique, and contributes to lowering cost and improving rate of finished products.
