Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tactile sensor technology, and in particular to a sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates, its fabrication method, and a multi-point sensing array. Background Technology
[0002] Touch sensors typically convert external physical stimuli into electrical signals that can be detected by external reading circuitry, establishing a correspondence between the two to achieve the purpose of sensing. The size of the sensing elements in an array-type touch sensor directly determines the resolution of the touch sensing matrix. It should be understood that smaller sensing elements can achieve higher sensing resolution.
[0003] For signal acquisition in high-density array-type tactile sensors, one design approach is to use a passive array circuit design. This method acquires sensor signals by arranging a series of intersecting parallel conductive electrodes and distributing the sensing elements at the intersections of perpendicular wires. This signal readout method can significantly reduce the number of signal acquisition ports required. In this passive array circuit design, the signal of each pixel cannot be independently controlled; signal reading requires a multiplexing technique. Specifically, the circuit reads data by scanning row by row to acquire all signals. That is, when reading a certain signal, all sensors in that row are successively controlled by the corresponding column's drive signal. In this case, signal crosstalk can occur between the tactile sensing units in adjacent pixels. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates and its fabrication method, as well as a multi-point sensing array, so as to provide a technical solution for amplifying the signal within a pixel and reducing signal crosstalk between pixels within the pixel of the sensing matrix.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates, the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates comprising a nanowire structure, a first dual-gate transistor, and a second dual-gate transistor.
[0006] The first end of the nanowire structure is electrically connected to the bias voltage providing terminal, the second end of the nanowire structure is electrically connected to the source and the first gate of the first dual-gate transistor, the second gate of the first dual-gate transistor is electrically connected to the first control terminal, and the drain of the first dual-gate transistor is grounded.
[0007] The source of the second dual-gate transistor is electrically connected to the bias voltage. The first gate of the second dual-gate transistor is connected between the second end of the nanowire structure and the source of the first dual-gate transistor. The second gate of the second dual-gate transistor is electrically connected to the second control terminal. The drain of the second dual-gate transistor is used to provide an output signal to the outside, wherein the output signal is a voltage signal amplified from the bias voltage.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the sensing unit for flexible substrates in this invention uses a nanowire structure as the sensor device. Since the nanowire structure itself has a small structural size, it can reduce the size of the sensing unit. Therefore, when the sensing unit for flexible substrates in this invention is applied to the sensing matrix, the spatial resolution of the sensing matrix can be improved.
[0009] The sensing unit for flexible substrates in this invention includes a first dual-gate transistor and a second dual-gate transistor. Based on the ultra-low leakage current characteristic of the dual-gate transistor, this invention can significantly reduce the static power consumption of the nanowire structure. When this sensing unit for flexible substrates is applied to a sensing array structure, row and column scanning is used when reading the sensed data. That is, when reading a certain row of data, the transistors in other rows are in the off state, and the signals between different pixels are not connected, thus solving the crosstalk problem between pixels. The nanowire structure and the first dual-gate transistor adopt a diode-like small-signal resistance connection mode. When external pressure changes the resistance of the nanowire structure, the voltage at the connection point between the nanowire structure and the first dual-gate transistor also changes accordingly, thus realizing the conversion of pressure signal to electrical signal. By adjusting the first gate of the first dual-gate transistor, the resistance of the first dual-gate transistor can be adjusted to match the resistance value of the nanowire structure, thereby improving the signal sensitivity of the sensing unit for flexible substrates. The output terminal of the nanowire structure connected to the first dual-gate transistor is connected to the first gate of the second dual-gate transistor. When the second dual-gate transistor is biased in the subthreshold region, the bias voltage applied to the top gate electrode has an exponential control over the current of the transistor in the subthreshold region. This method enables signal amplification within the pixel of the sensing unit and significantly improves the gain and signal-to-noise ratio of the output signal.
[0010] Furthermore, the sensing unit in this invention utilizes a first dual-gate transistor and a second dual-gate transistor to amplify the bias voltage. Therefore, signal amplification is achieved within the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates, reducing signal crosstalk between pixels. Moreover, both the first and second dual-gate transistors in this invention are dual-gate transistors. On the one hand, this improves the sensing unit's tolerance to threshold voltage drift; on the other hand, by controlling the second gate of the first and second dual-gate transistors, the on / off state of the first and second dual-gate transistors can be controlled, enabling independent control of individual pixels and improving the sensitivity and multi-touch capability of the sensing unit.

[0041] Touch sensors typically convert external physical stimuli into electrical signals that can be detected by external reading circuitry, establishing a correspondence between the two to achieve the purpose of sensing. The size of the sensing elements in an array-type touch sensor directly determines the resolution of the touch sensing matrix. It should be understood that smaller sensing elements can achieve higher sensing resolution.
[0042] For signal acquisition in high-density array-type tactile sensors, one design approach is to use a passive array circuit design. This method acquires sensor signals by arranging a series of intersecting parallel conductive electrodes and distributing the sensing elements at the intersections of perpendicular wires. This signal readout method can significantly reduce the number of signal acquisition ports required.

Specifically, the circuit reads data by scanning row by row to acquire all signals. That is, when reading a certain signal, all sensors in that row are successively controlled by the corresponding column's drive signal. In this case, signal crosstalk can occur between the tactile sensing units in adjacent pixels.
[0043] Based on this, refer to Figure 1 This invention provides a sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates, comprising a nanowire structure, a first dual-gate transistor T1, and a second dual-gate transistor T2. The first end of the nanowire structure is connected to a bias voltage V. d A terminal electrical connection is provided, wherein the second end of the nanowire structure is electrically connected to the source and the first gate of the first dual-gate transistor T1, the second gate of the first dual-gate transistor T1 is electrically connected to the first control terminal, and the drain of the first dual-gate transistor T1 is grounded. The source of the second dual-gate transistor T2 is connected to the bias voltage V. d Electrically connected, the first gate of the second dual-gate transistor T2 is connected between the second end of the nanowire structure and the source of the first dual-gate transistor T1, the second gate of the second dual-gate transistor T2 is electrically connected to the second control terminal, and the drain of the second dual-gate transistor T2 is used to provide an output signal to the outside, wherein the output signal is a voltage signal after amplification of the bias voltage.
[0044] Compared with existing technologies, the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates in this embodiment of the invention uses a nanowire structure as the sensor. Because the nanowire structure itself has a small structural size, it can reduce the size of the sensing unit. Therefore, when the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates in this invention is applied to a sensing matrix, the spatial resolution of the sensing matrix can be improved. For example, the nanowire structure in this embodiment of the invention can be zinc oxide nanowires or silicon nanowires to achieve a small-sized nanowire structure with piezoelectric function.
[0045] The sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates in this embodiment of the invention includes a first dual-gate transistor T1 and a second dual-gate transistor T2. Based on the ultra-low leakage current characteristic of dual-gate transistors, the static power consumption of the nanowire structure can be greatly reduced, while also solving the crosstalk problem between pixels. The nanowire structure and the first dual-gate transistor T1 are connected in a diode-like small-signal resistance mode. When external pressure changes the resistance of the nanowire structure, the voltage at connection point A between the nanowire structure and the first dual-gate transistor T1 also changes accordingly, thus realizing the conversion of pressure signal to electrical signal. By adjusting the first gate of the first dual-gate transistor T1, the resistance of the first dual-gate transistor T1 can be adjusted to match the resistance value of the nanowire structure, thereby improving the signal sensitivity of the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates. The output terminal of connection point A between the nanowire structure and the first dual-gate transistor T1 is connected to the first gate of the second dual-gate transistor T2. When the second dual-gate transistor T2 is biased in the subthreshold region, the top gate signal has an exponential control capability on the output signal current in the subthreshold region. This method amplifies the signal within the pixel of the sensing unit and greatly improves the gain and signal-to-noise ratio of the output signal.
[0046] Furthermore, the sensing unit in this embodiment of the invention utilizes a first dual-gate transistor T1 and a second dual-gate transistor T2 to amplify the bias voltage. Therefore, signal amplification is achieved within the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates, reducing signal crosstalk between pixels. Moreover, both the first dual-gate transistor T1 and the second dual-gate transistor T2 in this invention are dual-gate transistors. On the one hand, this improves the sensing unit's tolerance to threshold voltage drift; on the other hand, by controlling the second gate of the first dual-gate transistor T1 and the second gate of the second dual-gate transistor T2, the on / off state of the first dual-gate transistor T1 and the second dual-gate transistor T2 can be controlled, enabling independent control of individual pixels and improving the sensitivity and multi-touch capability of the sensing unit.
[0047] Specifically, when the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates in the embodiments of the present invention is applied to a pixel matrix, when it is necessary to turn on or off the first dual-gate transistor and the second dual-gate transistor in the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates, the first dual-gate transistor can be turned on or off under the action of the first control terminal, and the second dual-gate transistor can be turned on or off under the action of the second control terminal.

Figure 2 As can be seen in (b), an application was performed. Figure 2 The brightness of the area of the mold shown in (a) is greater than that of other areas, which verifies the functionality of the pixel sensing unit in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0050] Based on the above description, the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates in the multi-point sensing array of the present invention adopts a nanowire structure as a sensor device. Since the nanowire structure itself has a small structural size, it can reduce the size of the sensing unit, thereby improving the spatial resolution of the multi-point sensing matrix.
[0051] Furthermore, the sensing unit in this embodiment of the invention utilizes a first dual-gate transistor and a second dual-gate transistor to amplify the bias voltage. Therefore, signal amplification is achieved within the sensing unit suitable for flexible substrates, reducing signal crosstalk between pixels. Moreover, both the first and second dual-gate transistors in this invention are dual-gate transistors. On the one hand, this improves the sensing unit's tolerance to threshold voltage drift; on the other hand, by controlling the second gate of the first and second dual-gate transistors, the on / off state of the first and second dual-gate transistors can be controlled, enabling independent control of individual pixels in the sensing array.
