Abstract

The invention discloses a micro sound pressure sensor with a bionic cricket cilia structure and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The cricket cilia structure 1 of the sensor is positioned above a sensitive membrane 2 connected to an annular fixed structure 4 through a supporting beam 3; and the sensitive membrane 2 and two detection electrodes 5 on a glass substrate 6 form a flat type capacitor structure. When a foreign sound excites, the bionic cricket cilia structure 1 bends and deforms to drive the sensitive membrane 2 to move up and down, so that the capacitance between the sensitive membrane 2 and the two detection electrodes 5 changes, so as to detect the size of the sound pressure generated under the exciting of the foreign sound. The cilia structure 1 of the sensor disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high strength and large depth-to-width ratio and overcomes the defects of insufficient cilia stiffness and weak sensitivity of an acoustic sensor caused by SU-8 photoresist in the conventional method. The sensor can be used in the field of monitoring of moving targets in the sea, at the low altitude and on the ground.

Description

[0001] Field [0002] The invention belongs to the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), in particular to a sound pressure sensor with a miniature cricket-like cilia structure. Background technique [0003] Acoustic detection and positioning technology has important applications in the monitoring fields of ocean, low-altitude and ground moving targets. The sound pressure sensor is the key device for underwater acoustic signal reception in the passive acoustic detection device. The sound pressure sensor manufactured by traditional machining is large in size, high in operating frequency and low in sensitivity. In order to improve the detection ability of the target, it is necessary to reduce the operating frequency of the sound pressure sensor, expand the working bandwidth, improve the receiving sensitivity and reduce the volume and weight. The development of MEMS technology provides an important technology for the improvement of the sensitivity and miniaturization of...
