Abstract

The invention discloses a piezoresistive miniature electric field sensor, a preparation method thereof and an electric field sensor. The piezoresistive miniature electric field sensor comprises a substrate; an anchor region disposed at the top of the substrate; a piezoresistive vibration pick-up element connected with the anchor area and used for converting the electric field intensity into resistance value change; a vibration film which is suspended above the substrate, is connected with the piezoresistive vibration pick-up element through a supporting beam and is used for sensing the change of an electric field. The vibration film generates displacement under the action of electric field force, so that the resistance value of the piezoresistive vibration pickup structure is changed. The piezoresistive miniature electric field sensor disclosed by the invention does not need to additionally introduce a driving voltage, has the characteristics of low power consumption and capability of realizing alternating-current and direct-current broadband electric field measurement, signals obtained by piezoresistive detection are stronger, the signal-to-noise ratio is high, meanwhile, the size is small, the structure is simple, and batch manufacturing and system integration are facilitated.
