technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pressure sensor, in particular to a silicon micro-resonant pressure sensor based on a synovial film damping and a double pressure film structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The silicon microresonant pressure sensor based on microelectromechanical (MEMS) technology is currently the most accurate silicon micro pressure sensor. It indirectly measures the pressure by detecting the natural frequency of the structure and outputs a quasi-digital signal. It can be directly connected to the computer and easily Composition of instruments that directly display numbers. The accuracy of the silicon microresonant sensor is mainly affected by the mechanical characteristics of the vibrating structure, so it has a strong ability to resist electronic interference and stable performance.

Problems solved by technology

In particular, the RPT series of silicon microresonant pressure sensors have been widely used in aerospace and atmospheric data acquisition after more than 30 years of development. The basic principle of this series of sensors is that the pressure sensitive membrane is deformed under the action of external pressure. This kind of deformation is amplified by the silicon island fixed on the pressure sensitive membrane, and then transmitted to the resonant beam connected to the resonant oscillator, resulting in changes in the stiffness of the resonant beam, which in turn affects the resonant frequency of the out-of-plane vibration of the resonant structure. Capacitance detection and other methods are obtained by peripheral circuits, thereby establishing the relationship between output frequency and input pressure, but this type of sensor needs to overcome the influence of pressure film damping due to the res
