The silicon substrate is arranged below the SiO2 supporting column, the vacuum cavity defined by the Si vibrating diaphragm, the SiO2 supporting column and the silicon substrate is a a vacuum cavity in an inverted circular truncated cone shape, the SiO2 insulating layer is arranged at the bottom of the vacuum cavity, and the metal upper electrode is sputtered above the Si vibrating diaphragm. The capacitive micro-mechanical ultrasonic transducer has the pressure detection performance of high sensitivity and excellent linearity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of micro-pressure (0-10kPa) detection, in particular to a MEMS or capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducer, in particular to a capacitive micro-machined ultrasonic transducer with an inverted table-shaped cavity structure for high-sensitivity micro-pressure detection. Background technique [0002] Pressure is the most basic application parameter, and its precise measurement is an urgent technical problem in the fields of industrial production, scientific research, national defense technology, and biomedicine. Especially in the micro-pressure environment, efficiently and accurately obtaining weak pressure is always one of the key technologies and difficulties in the design of pressure sensors; coupled with complex situations such as sudden pressure changes, it is necessary to design a practical sensor with high sensitivity and low detection. It is quite difficult. Nevertheless, micro-pressure sensors have alway...
