Problems solved by technology

[0004] For the existing silicon micro-resonant pressure sensor, when the pressure-sensitive diaphragm is deformed under pressure, the height of the resonator will change, but the position of the excitation and detection comb teeth will not change, so the excitation force and detection signal will both decrease, so that not...

[0040] A method for preparing a resonant pressure sensor, comprising the steps of:

[0041] (1) Preparation: prepare two double-sided polished SOI silicon wafers, namely the first SOI silicon wafer 214 with a thickness of 475 um and the second SOI silicon wafer 214 with a thickness of 380 um.

[0042] (2) Etching: On the first SOI silicon wafer, etch the 1um thick wafer alignment key 122, the 325um high silicon island 104 and the 150um thick pressure detection sensitive thin film area to make the bottom SOI wafer 112. The etching in this step can adopt traditional KOH etching (wet etching). Such as Figure 6a shown.

Abstract

The invention provides a resonant pressure sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. A resonator uses a resonator structure based on an SOI silicon-based silicon comb double-ended fixed tuning fork structure. A Wheatstone bridge is formed inside the resonator by two piezoresistive materials (silicon after process doping) and two equivalent resistors (undoped silicon). The resistance change of thepiezoresistive materials is changed by a pressure change to detect the change in resonant frequency. Based on the silicon island structure, the pressure sensor structure is designed to transform thedeformation on a pressure-sensitive film into the plane vibration in the direction of the resonator through the silicon island structure, which not only reduces the mechanical coupling of the sensor,but also improves a quality factor and achieves a wide measurement range and high reliability.

Description
