Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of equal-frequency drive, the detected signal is equal to the driving frequency, and at the same time, the same-frequency driving signal interferes with the detection signal, and the reliability of the detection signal will be very low.
Similarly, if the half-frequen...

Abstract

The invention discloses an MEMS device capacitance detection method which comprises the following steps: one or more variable capacitors are provided, wherein each variable capacitor comprises two parallel fixation pole plates and a center movable part arranged between the two fixation pole plates, the center movable part being parallel to the fixation pole plates, the fixation pole plates being parallel to the X axis, the normal direction of each fixation pole plate being parallel to the Y axis, and the normal direction of the center movable part being parallel to the Y axis; one or more variable capacitors in the variable capacitors have periodical change due to the driving of electrostatic force, wherein the electrostatic force is generated by a frequency-rising driving method, the center movable part can move in the X axis and/or Y axis direction; and capacitance change of one or more variable capacitors in the variable capacitors can be detected by utilizing a DC voltage offset detection method. According to the method, by combining the frequency-rising driving and the DC detection, the frequency-rising driving separates a driving voltage (high frequency) and a signal voltage (low frequency) in the frequency domain, thereby greatly reducing interference of the driving signal on the detection signals.
