Problems solved by technology

General flexible capacitive sensors can increase the resolution by reducing the electrode width and the distance between the two plates, but this will reduce the capacitance and cause a lower signal-to-noise ratio
At the same time, due to the influence of various electrical noises such as wires and circuit boards, it will become more difficult to measure small pressure
[0003] At present, the flexible electronic skin of fully flexible and multi-functional robots is mostly focused on tactile perception, and the method is close to the perception ability, which cannot respond when the action object is approaching. The tensile sensor provides the possibility to solve the above problems. The sensor sensing principle is based on capacitive sensing, which can detect both pressure and spatial positioning distance
[0004] Flexible electronic technology is born out of solid-state electronic technology, so it also uses a large number of traditional semiconductor processes, but some flexible materials do not have good adaptability to traditional processes, so it is necessary to improve the process. The present invention provides a high-sensitivity flexible Capacitive sensor and its preparation method

preparation example Construction

[0037] In order to improve the manufacturing success rate and quality of the sensor, a method for preparing a multi-high-sensitivity flexible capacitive sensor mainly includes a multi-layer stepped mesoporous microstructure process, an electrode process, a sacrificial layer process and a reactive ion etching process. Among them, the multi-layer stepped mesoporous microstructure process is used to prepare the intermediate dielectric layer, the electrode process is used to prepare the upper electrode layer and the lower electrode layer, the sacrificial layer process is used to release the sensor from the silicon wafer 1, and the reactive ion etching process Tested for bonding packages of top electrode layer, middle dielectric layer and bottom electrode layer. The multi-layer stepped mesoporous microstructure process uses a centrifugal method to prepare a multi-layer ordered microstructure with a pore size that increases layer by layer on the polydimethylsiloxane. The electrode t...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of flexible sensors, and discloses a polydimethylsiloxane film, a flexible capacitive sensor and a preparation method thereof. The sensor includes an upper electrode layer, an intermediate dielectric layer and a lower electrode layer, and the upper and lower electrode layers have the same structure. Both include a flexible base material and liquid metal embedded in the base material; the intermediate dielectric layer is between the upper and lower electrode layers, which has a multi-layer stepped mesoporous microstructure. Compared with the flexible capacitive sensor without the dielectric layer, The linearity of the flexible capacitive sensor is improved; when the sensor is subjected to pressure or is approached by a conductor, the pressure on the sensor or the distance between the conductor and the sensor is obtained by measuring the change of the capacitance of the sensor. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the sensor. Through the present invention, a flexible capacitive sensor based on a liquid metal electrode and a dielectric layer of a multi-layer stepped mesoporous microstructure is designed to realize high sensitivity of the flexible sensor.
