Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pressure sensor technology, specifically relating to a high-sensitivity, high-frequency response graphene pressure sensor. Background Technology
[0002] Sensor technology is one of the most important technologies in modern measurement and automation systems. From space exploration to ocean depths, from production process control to modern daily life, almost every technology relies on sensors. Therefore, many countries attach great importance to the development of sensor technology.
[0003] Among various types of sensors, pressure sensors have the advantages of small size, light weight, high sensitivity, stability and reliability, low cost, and easy integration. They can be widely used for the measurement and control of pressure, altitude, acceleration, liquid flow rate, velocity, liquid level, and pressure. In addition, they are widely used in water conservancy, geology, meteorology, chemical industry, and medical and health fields. Pressure sensors have become one of the most technologically mature, stable, and cost-effective types of sensors.
[0004] Based on different operating principles, pressure sensors can be classified into resistance strain gauge pressure sensors, semiconductor strain gauge pressure sensors, piezoresistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, resonant pressure sensors, fiber optic pressure sensors, and capacitive accelerometers. Compared with other types of sensors such as capacitive, fiber optic, and resonant sensors, piezoresistive pressure sensors have advantages such as small size, simple manufacturing process, and wide linear range.
[0005] Since its emergence, graphene, a two-dimensional material, has attracted much attention in the field of MEMS sensors due to its excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. Because of its excellent piezoresistive effect and extremely high compatibility with MEMS processes, it has become the preferred material for pressure sensor sensitive units and is widely regarded as an excellent pressure-sensitive material for making high-sensitivity, fast-response, and large-range sensors.
[0006] In many applications, pressure sensors require both high sensitivity and high frequency response. Generally, improving sensor sensitivity can be achieved by reducing its structural stiffness; however, reducing structural stiffness leads to a decrease in the sensor's natural frequency. Currently popular piezoresistive pressure sensors, while achieving high sensitivity, cannot achieve a high natural frequency, and vice versa; pursuing a high natural frequency makes it difficult to meet the demand for high sensitivity. Therefore, resolving the contradiction between sensitivity and natural frequency is a key technical challenge that urgently needs to be overcome to ensure reliable and accurate measurement by piezoresistive pressure sensors. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the technical problem of the contradiction between sensitivity and inherent frequency mentioned above, this invention provides a high-sensitivity, high-frequency response graphene pressure sensor, aiming to solve the coupling problem between the sensitivity and inherent frequency of existing pressure sensors.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0020] This invention addresses the limitation of simultaneously improving sensor sensitivity and natural frequency by proposing an innovative improvement scheme. The invention cleverly introduces a central island and a non-penetrating hole structure. This design significantly increases the strain that the nano-detection units within the pressure sensor can sense under the same pressure, making the sensor's strain response more sensitive and its output signal stronger under the same pressure, thereby improving the sensor's sensitivity. Simultaneously, this structure effectively improves the sensor's structural stiffness, thus increasing its natural frequency. This invention simultaneously improves both the sensor's sensitivity and natural frequency, effectively enhancing the performance of the pressure sensor. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Example 1
[0039] Combination Figures 1-7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10In this embodiment, the encapsulation shell 12 is bonded or welded to the cap 17 via welding metal 21. A ceramic base 16 is mounted at the bottom of the encapsulation shell 12. A detection substrate 15 is bonded to the upper part of the ceramic base 16. A cavity is etched into the lower part of the detection substrate 15, forming a central island 14 and a first elastic beam 13-1, a second elastic beam 13-2, a third elastic beam 13-3, and a fourth elastic beam 13-4. The central island 14 is square, and the connections between the central island 14 and the first elastic beam 13-1, the second elastic beam 13-2, the third elastic beam 13-3, and the fourth elastic beam 13-4 are rounded. The connections between the first elastic beam 13-1, the second elastic beam 13-2, the third elastic beam 13-3, the fourth elastic beam 13-4 and the detection substrate 15 are... The surface is etched with a first non-penetrating via 11-1, a second non-penetrating via 11-2, a third non-penetrating via 11-3, and a fourth non-penetrating via 11-4. These four vias surround four nano-detection units. Each nano-detection unit consists of a sandwich structure formed by a top protective layer, a graphene varistor, and a bottom protective layer. The first graphene varistor 25-1, the second graphene varistor 25-2, the third graphene varistor 25-3, and the fourth graphene varistor 25-4 are all U-shaped. The widths of the first non-penetrating via 11-1, the second non-penetrating via 11-2, the third non-penetrating via 11-3, and the fourth non-penetrating via 11-4 are set to... The depths of the elastic beams 13-1, 13-2, 13-3, and 13-4 are all less than those of the first elastic beam 13-1, the second elastic beam 13-2, the third elastic beam 13-3, and the fourth elastic beam 13-4. A pressure-transmitting silicon film 1 is bonded to the upper part of the detection substrate 15. Cavities are etched on both the upper and lower parts of the pressure-transmitting silicon film 1, and a protrusion 19 is etched on the lower surface. The protrusion 19 is bonded to the central island 14 via a bonding metal 18. The pressure-transmitting silicon film 1 is bonded to the detection substrate 15 via a first metal sealing ring 2 and a second metal sealing ring 3. The lower part of the detection substrate 15 is bonded to the ceramic substrate 16 via a third metal sealing ring 10. A cap 17 is bonded or welded to the encapsulation shell 12, and the cap 17 has a through-hole structure 22. The shape of the through-hole 22 is not limited to the circular shape shown in this invention; it can also be square or other shapes. Specifically, the cap 17, pressure-transmitting silicon membrane 1, encapsulation shell 12, and ceramic substrate 16 together define an internal detection space. The detection component proposed in this invention is set within the internal detection space. Pressure is transmitted through the pressure-transmitting silicon membrane 1 to the protrusion 19, which then transmits the pressure to the central island 14. The central island 14 causes four elastic beams to deform, and the nano-detection unit set at the connection between the elastic beams and the detection substrate 15 deforms. The graphene piezoresistor within it will change proportionally to the strain, breaking the Wheatstone bridge balance and generating an electrical signal in the circuit, which is then output to the circuit connected to the external interconnect electrodes. Through back-end processing, the magnitude of the external pressure can be determined by the magnitude of the detected electrical signal, thus achieving the effect of pressure detection.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] Combination Figure 7 In this embodiment, the first non-penetrating hole 11-1, the second non-penetrating hole 11-2, the third non-penetrating hole 11-3, and the fourth non-penetrating hole 11-4 are configured as four non-penetrating square holes, and the central island 14 is designed as a central inner arc island with a concave edge. Other components and connections are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] Combination Figure 8 In this embodiment, the first non-penetrating hole 11-1, the second non-penetrating hole 11-2, the third non-penetrating hole 11-3, and the fourth non-penetrating hole 11-4 are configured as four non-penetrating triangular holes, and the central island 14 is designed as a central outer arc island with its edge protruding to a certain extent. Other components and connections are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0044] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When external pressure is applied to the pressure-transmitting silicon membrane 1, the pressure-transmitting silicon membrane 1 deforms, the protrusion 19 moves downward, squeezing the central island 14, and the central island 14 in turn drives the first elastic beam 13-1, the second elastic beam 13-2, the third elastic beam 13-3, and the fourth elastic beam 13-4 to deform simultaneously. The first graphene varistor 25-1 and the second graphene varistor 25-4, which are set between the first elastic beam 13-1, the second elastic beam 13-2, the third elastic beam 13-3, the fourth elastic beam 13-4 and the detection substrate 15, are also involved. When varistor 25-2, the third graphene varistor 25-3, and the fourth graphene varistor 25-4 are stretched, strain occurs, causing changes in the resistance values of the first graphene varistor 25-1, the second graphene varistor 25-2, the third graphene varistor 25-3, and the fourth graphene varistor 25-4. This disrupts the balance of the Wheatstone bridge, generating an electrical signal in the circuit to detect external pressure. The first top protective layer 23-1, second top protective layer 23-2, third top protective layer 23-3, fourth top protective layer 23-4 and the first bottom protective layer 24-1, second bottom protective layer 24-2, third bottom protective layer 24-3, fourth bottom protective layer 24-4 above and below the graphene varistor 25-3 and the fourth graphene varistor 25-4 respectively control the first graphene varistor 25-1, the second graphene varistor 25-2, the third graphene varistor 25-3, and the fourth graphene varistor 25-4. The resistor 25-4 plays a protective role. Due to the stress concentration effect, the non-penetrating hole set between the first elastic beam 13-1, the second elastic beam 13-2, the third elastic beam 13-3, the fourth elastic beam 13-4 and the detection substrate 15 causes the graphene piezoresistor surrounding the non-penetrating hole to sense a larger strain under the same pressure, thereby improving the sensor output and sensitivity from the source. At the same time, with appropriate structural dimensions, the structural stiffness of the sensor is improved, which in turn improves the natural frequency of the sensor under the same material.
[0045] The above description only illustrates the preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and all such changes should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
