Abstract

The invention provides an MEMS pressure sensor and a manufacturing method. The MEMS pressure sensor is formed on a substrate structure, and at least comprises an oxide layer, a lower pole plate, an upper pole plate and a suppressing pile, wherein the lower pole plate is positioned in the oxide layer, the upper pole plate is positioned on the upper surface of the oxide layer, a cavity is formed between the upper pole plate and the oxide layer and positioned above the lower pole plate, and the suppressing pile is positioned in the cavity and connected with the upper pole plate and the oxide layer. The suppressing pile suppresses arching of the upper pole plate to the distance between the highest arching place of the upper pole plate and the lower pole plate. A suppressing pile is added between the upper and lower pole plates to shorten the distance between the highest arching place of the upper pole plate and the lower pole plate. The induction efficiency and sensitivity of the MEMS pressure sensor are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pressure sensor, in particular to a MEMS pressure sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] MEMS (Micro-electromechanical Systems, micro-electromechanical systems) pressure sensors have been widely used in automotive electronics, industrial control, environmental monitoring, biomedicine and other fields. MEMS pressure sensors are mainly divided into two types: piezoresistive and capacitive. Conventional capacitive MEMS pressure sensors are mostly composed of a deformable upper plate and a fixed lower plate to form the upper and lower poles of the capacitor. When the upper plate is deformed under pressure, the distance between the upper and lower plates changes resulting in changes in capacitance value. Therefore, the physical characteristics of the deformable upper plate will play a very important role in the performance of the whole sensor. [0003] Changes in physical quantities of MEMS pre...
