Abstract

The invention discloses an infrared gas sensor with an integrally packaged air chamber. The infrared gas sensor comprises the integrally packaged air chamber, an infrared light source and a sensitive element, wherein the air chamber comprises a top plane (2), a bottom plane and an elliptical inner wall; two rotational ellipses (1) share a common focus O; the sites of the focus O and the sensitive element (4) are two focuses of the rotational ellipses; the light source 5 is positioned in the point O' on the bottom plane; the point O' and the focus O are symmetrical about the reflection inner wall of the top plane (2) of the air chamber; the point O' and lower focuses A and A' of the elliptical inner wall share a horizontal plane. The air chamber with a packaging function is designed into a reflective type, so that not only is the light length increased, but also the interference caused by air pumping through an air pump in a conventional sealed air chamber is avoided; the sensitive element and the air chamber are assembled by a wafer-level alignment bonding technology, so that a low-vacuum protection function is also achieved; meanwhile as the inner wall of the air chamber adopts gold plated ellipsoid design, and infrared beams enter the surface of the sensor in parallel, the infrared reflection rate is improved, and the loss in a light conduction process is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of infrared gas sensors, in particular to an infrared gas sensor integrated with gas chamber packaging. Background technique [0002] The gas chamber means that when the infrared gas sensor detects the gas, the gas is passed into the space through which the infrared light passes. The size of the gas chamber is determined by the type of gas, the measurement range and the resolution. For a long time, because the sensor is basically a single light source and a discrete sensitive source integrated with a packaged package, it cannot be miniaturized, resulting in infrared sensors not being widely used. Domestic products are basically assembled with imported foreign core components. [0003] From the perspective of the technological development trend of gas sensors, on the one hand, the performance is continuously improved; on the other hand, it is miniaturization, integration and low power consumption. With the d...
