Abstract

The invention discloses a force sensor based on micro-nano combined structure, comprising bridge beam, mass block, substrate and plural electrodes arranged on the substrate, where there is an insulating layer between the electrodes and the substrate, the two ends of the bridge beam are fixed on the electrodes, the mass block is fixed in the middle of the bridge beam, suspending in midair, and the bridge beam is a semiconductor oxide nano tape and the force sensor also comprises a resonance frequency detection circuit for measuring the resonance frequency of the bridge beam. The force sensor is combined of micro-electromechanical (MEM) sensor and nano material, adopts the semiconductor oxide nano tape as the bridge beam and the structure of the force sensor is controllable and no-defect and besides, the nano tape has excellent flexibility and can make larger deformation under the force action, and these advantages can improve the resolution and accuracy of the force sensor. It makes more measuring methods able to be selected for the force sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of micro / nano electromechanical systems and sensing technologies, in particular to a force sensor based on a micro / nano composite structure. Background technique [0002] Force sensors, especially accelerometers and pressure sensors, made using MEMS technology, have been widely used in military, automotive, aerospace, medical and other fields due to their advantages of small size, low cost, easy integration and mass production. The usual microcomputer power sensor is a bridge-type beam supporting the structure of the mass block, and its materials are basically materials commonly used in micro-processing - silicon and its compounds. The size of the mass block is several hundred microns, and the cross-sectional size of the bridge beam is also on the order of microns. The resonant microcomputer power sensor is one of the commonly used working methods. Its working principle is: drive bridge beam—the bridge beam with mass...
