Problems solved by technology

Since the detection area cannot be too small, otherwise the incident light cannot fully irradiate the detection comb area, but this will increase the size of the entire structure; this test structure has great limitations on the process, and it does not use silicon on insulator (SOI) silicon wafers It is not easy to achieve a smaller comb gap and comb width, and the comb is easily deformed under the action of residual stress, which affects the final detection accuracy; the open-loop measurement is used, so the range is small, and the application range is greatly limited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and sensing technologies, and in particular relates to an integrated grating interference micro-mechanical accelerometer for realizing high-resolution displacement measurement based on integrated grating interference and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, micromechanical sensors, especially accelerometers, made by 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. In the fields of microgravity measurement, inclination measurement, aerospace and other fields, since the output signal of the accelerometer is relatively weak, in order to greatly improve the measurement accuracy of the sensor, on the one hand, the test circuit should be continuously improved; improve itself. At present, common detection m...
