Problems solved by technology

[0004] NASA of the United States and Vaisala of the Netherlands have cooperated to develop a MEMS capacitive air pressure sensor for the Mars rover. It adopts a silicon-glass anode bonding process, and prepares pits and electrode plates on silicon and glass at the same time. The resolution can reach 0.2Pa. However, due to the protection of technical secrets, its electrode lead technology has not been disclosed, and it has not been commercialized; The nano-manufacturing process uses multiple polysilicon growth, heavy doping, corrosion self-stop, silicon-silicon fusion bonding, anodic bonding, etc. The micro-nano processing process of this scheme is complicated and difficult, and requires more high-end micro-nano processing Instruments and equipment, and it is difficult to guarantee a high yield, so the commercialization effect is not very good

Abstract

The invention discloses an MEMS capacitive air pressure sensor based on PN junction electrical isolation and anodic bonding technologies. The MEMS capacitive air pressure sensor comprises an air pressure sensitive film, a glass substrate and a glass cover plate. One surface of the air pressure sensitive film is anodically bonded with the glass substrate to form a vacuum reference cavity; the othersurface of the air pressure sensitive film is in anodic bonding with the glass cover plate to form an open type air pressure sensing cavity, an external air pressure is applied to the air pressure sensitive film, a pressure difference is formed between the external air pressure and the vacuum reference cavity to deform the air pressure sensitive film, so that the distance between capacitance plates of the air pressure sensitive film and the glass substrate is changed and thus the capacitance value is changed to reflect the external air pressure. The invention also discloses a processing technology of the MEMS capacitive air pressure sensor. The capacitive air pressure sensor is simple in processing technology, high in yield and good in commercialization effect.
