Abstract

A capacitor type temperature sensor comprises a detection capacitor which is composed of a substrate (1), temperature sensing media (2), passivation layers (3), a middle interdigital electrode (1-3) and a side interdigital electrode (1-2). The detection capacitor has an interdigital structure with a high aspect ratio. The substrate (1) is located at the bottom of the detection capacitor and plays a role as a base. The temperature sensing media (2) are arranged between the middle interdigital electrode (1-3) and the substrate. The side interdigital electrode (1-2) is located on periphery of the detection capacitor. The passivation layers (3) are arranged on the periphery of the middle interdigital electrode (1-3) and located on the inner surface of the side interdigital electrode (1-2). The temperature sensing media (2) are located in the middle of the middle interdigital electrode (1-3), located between the side interdigital electrode (1-2) and the middle interdigital electrode (1-3), and located in a cavity (4) between the middle interdigital electrode (1-3) and the substrate (1). The capacitor type temperature sensor has the advantages of being high in sensitivity, simple in structure, convenient to machine, novel in temperature sensing structure and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) capacitive temperature sensor based on bulk silicon technology, especially a new type of interdigitated structure capacitor that uses the double change of the volume of the temperature-sensing medium and the dielectric constant of the temperature-sensing medium to sense temperature. type temperature sensor. Background technique [0002] The temperature sensor is the earliest developed and widely used type of sensor. People have been measuring temperature since the beginning of the 17th century. With the support of semiconductor technology, semiconductor thermocouple sensors, PN junction temperature sensors and integrated temperature sensors have been developed successively in this century. Correspondingly, according to the law of interaction between waves and matter, acoustic temperature sensors, infrared sensors and microwave sensors have been developed successively. With the develop...
