[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a structural schematic diagram of a high-sensitivity pressure sensor based on a singular point is provided, the sensor comprising: a substrate, a coupled resonator, a stiffness adjustment electrode and an external feedback control circuit, wherein:
[0039] The coupled resonator is placed on the substrate; the coupled resonator includes a gain resonator 101 and a loss resonator 102; the gain resonator 101 and the loss resonator 102 are coupled by electrostatics; the gain resonator 101 and the loss resonator 102 have the same mass and the same stiffness; the damping of the gain resonator 101 is equal to the damping of the loss resonator 102 but in opposite directions; the gain resonator 101 and the loss resonator 102 are both connected to bias electrodes; the bias electrodes are used to control the initial bias of the sensor at the singular point; both ends of the resonant beam of the gain resonator 101 and the two ends of the resonant beam of the loss resonator 102 are connected to the anchor area by a symmetrical pressure amplification structure 103.
[0040] The coupled resonator may include two resonators, one of which is a gain resonator 101 and the other is a loss resonator 102 . The gain resonator 101 and the loss resonator 102 may be placed side by side.
[0041] The bias voltage can be adjusted by the bias electrode so that the initial bias of the pressure sensor is at a singular point. At this time, the pressure sensor has only one resonant frequency.
[0042] The stiffness adjustment electrode 104 is used to apply a bias voltage to the resonance beam of the gain resonator 101 and the resonance beam of the loss resonator 102 , so that the gain resonator 101 and the loss resonator 102 have the same stiffness and eigenfrequency.
[0043] In a specific implementation, the stiffness adjustment electrode 104 can be used to apply a bias voltage to the resonant beams of the gain resonator 101 and the loss resonator 102 to adjust the stiffness of the resonator so that the stiffness and the eigenfrequency of the gain resonator 101 and the loss resonator 102 are the same, thereby compensating for process errors.
[0044] The external feedback control circuit 105 includes a first external feedback control circuit and a second external feedback control circuit; the first external feedback control circuit is electrically connected to the gain resonator 101, and is used to pump energy into the gain resonator 101 with a motion speed phase that is the same as that of the gain resonator 101 and a magnitude that is the same as the motion loss of the loss resonator 102; the second external feedback control circuit is electrically connected to the loss resonator 102, and is used to detect the motion loss of the loss resonator 102.
[0045] In a specific implementation, the movement of the gain resonator can be promoted by pumping energy having the same movement speed and phase as the gain resonator and the same magnitude as the movement loss of the loss resonator into the gain resonator through the first external feedback control circuit.
[0046] As an example, a singular point is a point where the eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenstate in a non-Hermitian system are simultaneously merged. The sensitivity of the singular point to the very small has important applications in ultra-high precision sensors, which is conducive to high-precision pressure measurement and monitoring. Specifically, when the pressure sensor works near the singular point, the eigenfrequency splitting amount has ultra-high sensitivity to the change of tiny pressure. During the operation of the above-mentioned high-sensitivity pressure sensor based on the singular point, since the initial bias of the sensor is at the singular point, the sensor has only one resonant frequency at this time. When the sensor is attached to the object to be measured through the substrate and pressure is applied to the object to be measured, the pressure sensor is disturbed and deviates from the initial resonant frequency and splits into two resonant frequencies. Detecting and analyzing the splitting amount of the resonant frequency of the pressure sensor after the disturbance and the initial resonant frequency can determine the pressure and achieve accurate measurement of the pressure.
[0047] In the present embodiment, since the initial bias of the sensor is at the singularity point, the sensor has only one resonant frequency at this time. When the sensor is adhered to the object to be measured through the substrate and pressure is applied to the object to be measured, the pressure sensor is disturbed and deviates from the initial resonant frequency and splits into two resonant frequencies. The resonant frequency information corresponding to the object to be measured at this time is obtained, and combined with the preset initial resonant frequency information, the difference between the initial resonant frequency information and the resonant frequency information is analyzed to determine the pressure information corresponding to the object to be measured. When the pressure sensor works near the singularity point, the intrinsic frequency splitting amount has the characteristic of ultra-high sensitivity to tiny pressure changes. The splitting amount of the resonant frequency of the pressure sensor after being disturbed is detected and analyzed to determine the pressure. Accurate measurement of pressure can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy of pressure measurement.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the first external feedback control circuit and the second external feedback control circuit each include an input terminal, a transimpedance amplifier, a bandpass filter, a voltage-controlled amplifier, a phase shifter, and an output terminal.
[0074] Among them, a trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) may refer to an operational amplifier circuit, and the trans-impedance amplifier may convert an input current into an output voltage.
[0075] Among them, a band-pass filter (BPF) may refer to a device that allows waves of a specific frequency band to pass through while shielding other frequency bands.
[0076] A voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) may refer to an amplifier whose gain can be adjusted by an external control voltage.
[0077] Among them, a phase shifter may refer to a device that can adjust the phase of a wave.
[0078] As an example, Figure 2 As shown, a structural schematic diagram of an external feedback control circuit is provided, wherein the first external feedback control circuit includes an input end, a transimpedance amplifier, a bandpass filter, a voltage-controlled amplifier, a phase shifter, and an output end connected in sequence. Similarly, the second external feedback control circuit also includes an input end, a transimpedance amplifier, a bandpass filter, a voltage-controlled amplifier, a phase shifter, and an output end connected in sequence.
[0079] In this embodiment, the external feedback control circuit includes an input end, a transimpedance amplifier, a bandpass filter, a voltage-controlled amplifier, a phase shifter and an output end, so that the motion signal of the resonator is converted into an electrical signal through the external feedback control circuit. The phase of the generated electrical signal can be adjusted through the phase shifter so that the phase of the electrical signal generated by the external feedback control circuit and the motion speed of the resonator are the same, so as to perform accurate pressure measurement.
[0080] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a method for obtaining pressure information of the high-sensitivity pressure sensor based on singular points is provided, comprising the following steps S302 to S304. Among them:
[0081] Step S302 : When the substrate is adhered to the object to be measured and pressure is applied to the object to be measured, resonant frequency information corresponding to the object to be measured is obtained.
[0082] The object to be measured may refer to an object to which pressure is applied.
[0083] The resonant frequency information may refer to the resonant frequency of the resonator when the physical characteristics of the coupled resonator of the pressure sensor change after pressure is applied to the object to be measured. In practical applications, the resonant frequency information may be determined by measuring the capacitance change caused by the vibration of the resonator.
[0084] As an example, when the substrate is adhered to the object to be measured and pressure is applied to the object to be measured, the physical characteristics of the coupled resonator of the pressure sensor will change. The terminal can obtain the capacitance change caused by the vibration of the resonator detected by the pressure sensor and determine the resonant frequency information corresponding to the object to be measured.
[0085] Step S304: obtaining preset initial resonant frequency information, and determining pressure information corresponding to the object to be measured according to the difference between the initial resonant frequency information and the resonant frequency information.
[0086] The initial resonance frequency information may refer to the resonance frequency of the pressure sensor under preset conditions. In practical applications, the preset conditions may include that no pressure is applied to the pressure sensor.
[0087] As an example, the terminal can use the resonant frequency of the pressure sensor under preset conditions as the preset initial resonant frequency information, and then determine the splitting amount of the resonant frequency based on the difference between the initial resonant frequency information and the resonant frequency information, and then calculate the pressure information corresponding to the object to be measured based on the splitting amount of the resonant frequency and the preset pressure calculation expression.
[0088] In the above-mentioned pressure information acquisition method, since the initial bias of the sensor is at the singularity point, the sensor has only one resonant frequency at this time. When the sensor is adhered to the object to be measured through the substrate and pressure is applied to the object to be measured, the pressure sensor is disturbed and deviates from the initial resonant frequency and splits into two resonant frequencies. The resonant frequency information corresponding to the object to be measured at this time is obtained, and combined with the preset initial resonant frequency information, the difference between the initial resonant frequency information and the resonant frequency information is analyzed to determine the pressure information corresponding to the object to be measured. When the pressure sensor works near the singularity point, the intrinsic frequency splitting amount has the characteristic of ultra-high sensitivity to tiny pressure changes. The splitting amount of the resonant frequency after the pressure sensor is disturbed is detected and analyzed to determine the pressure. Accurate measurement of pressure can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy of pressure measurement.
[0089] In one exemplary embodiment, the gain resonator and the loss resonator are placed side by side and are coupled electrostatically. The gain resonator and the loss resonator have the same mass m, the same stiffness k, and damping c of equal magnitude but opposite direction. The gain resonator is fixed to the substrate through a first fixed anchor region electrode, the first drive electrode is arranged on the left side of the gain resonator and is placed close to the gain resonator, the first detection electrode is arranged on the left side of the gain resonator adjustment beam, and the stiffness adjustment electrode is arranged on the right side of the gain resonator adjustment beam; the loss resonator is implemented by connecting the input end of the positive external feedback control circuit to the first detection electrode, and connecting the output end of the positive external feedback control circuit to the first drive electrode. The key is to pump energy with the same phase as the resonator movement speed into the resonator to promote the movement of the resonator. The loss resonator is fixed on the substrate through the first fixed anchor area electrode, the second driving electrode is arranged on the right side of the loss resonator and is placed close to the loss resonator, the second detection electrode is arranged on the right side of the loss resonator adjustment beam, and the stiffness adjustment electrode is arranged on the left side of the gain resonator adjustment beam; the implementation method of the loss resonator is to connect the input end of the reverse external feedback control circuit to the second detection electrode, and connect the output end of the reverse external feedback control circuit to the second driving electrode, and the key is to detect the damping loss of the loss resonator in the working environment.
[0090] The coupling coefficient between the gain resonator and the loss resonator is adjusted by adding different potentials between the first fixed anchor region electrode and the second fixed anchor region electrode, and the electrostatic force generated by the potential difference between the gain resonator and the loss resonator. The external feedback control circuit includes an input end, a transimpedance amplifier, a bandpass filter, a voltage-controlled amplifier, a phase shifter and an output end connected in sequence. The external feedback control circuit converts the motion signal of the resonator into an electrical signal, and the generated electrical signal can adjust the phase through the phase shifter. The electrical signal generated by the external feedback control circuit has the same phase as the motion speed of the resonator.
[0091] The working principle of the pressure sensor based on the singular point is: adjust the parameters of the charge sensor so that the charge sensor is initially biased at the singular point, at which time the charge sensor has only one resonant frequency ω; when pressure occurs on the surface of the object to be tested, the pressure sensor is disturbed and deviates from the initial resonant frequency and splits into two resonant frequencies, and the magnitude of the pressure can be deduced by detecting the splitting amount of the resonant frequency. The test method (pressure information acquisition method) of the pressure sensor based on the singular point may include the following steps: adhere the substrate of the sensor to the surface of the object to be tested, adjust the external feedback control circuit of the pressure sensor so that the initial state of the pressure sensor is biased at the singular point, and when pressure occurs on the surface of the object to be tested, the resonant frequency of the pressure sensor will be split from one to two due to the disturbance, and the magnitude of the disturbance pressure can be deduced by detecting the splitting amount of the two frequencies.
[0092] In this embodiment, by using a high-sensitivity pressure sensor based on a singular point to measure and monitor pressure, it is possible to achieve higher test accuracy and higher sensitivity in measuring tiny pressures than using a traditional charge sensor to measure pressure. This makes it more suitable for precision measurement and helps to improve the accuracy of pressure measurement.
