Problems solved by technology

Although the piezoresistive type has a relatively mature preparation process, its sensitivity is low, and because of Joule heat, it has large thermal noise and poor temperature stability.
Although the capacitive type has high sensitivity, due to the existence of tiny air gaps, it is easy to cause adhesion during preparation and use, which will cause the device to fail, and a bias voltage is required during use.

Abstract

The invention relates to an MEMS piezoelectric vector hydrophone with a serial structure. The MEMS piezoelectric vector hydrophone comprises one to three sensing units and an embedding structure. The one to three sensing units are mutually vertically placed on the embedding structure. Each sensing unit comprises at least two piezoelectric sensing chips, an insulation plate and a rear amplification circuit, wherein the at least two piezoelectric sensing chips are serially welded and adhered to the insulation plate, and the insulation plate is adhered to and electrically connected to the rear amplification circuit. Each piezoelectric sensing chip comprises a mass block, a piezoelectric unit and a composite elastic beam. In case of an inertia force effect, the composite elastic beams are deformed to enable the piezoelectric units connected with the composite elastic beams to generate charge. According to the invention, the MEMS piezoelectric vector hydrophone is prepared by use of a piezoelectric sensing chip serial structure, the sensitivity is obviously improved, and the preparation process is simple.
