[0109] Embodiment 9
[0110] like Fig.10 As shown, this embodiment provides a piezoelectric electrode assembly. The difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that:
[0111] The piezoelectric electrode assembly provided in this embodiment includes a base layer 1, a bottom insulating layer 2, a first upper metal electrode 11, a first piezoelectric material layer 10, a first shielding electrode 13, a second upper metal electrode 16, a second piezoelectric material layer 15, a second shielding electrode 18, a top insulating layer 7 and a lower metal electrode 3.

[0114] In the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 9, the base layer is made of conductive material (for example, made of silicon material with conductive properties). Therefore, the signal generated by the piezoelectric material layer, the upper metal electrode and / or the lower metal electrode can be output from the base layer, or the external input signal can be input from the base layer to the piezoelectric material layer, the upper metal electrode and / or the lower metal electrode.
[0115] The lower metal electrode can be connected to the signal ground in the external control circuit board to prevent interference to the electric field detection due to the floating potential of the lower metal electrode.
[0116] The piezoelectric material layer is sandwiched between the lower metal electrode and the upper metal electrode. When the external control circuit board applies a potential difference to the upper and lower metal electrodes, the lower metal electrode is grounded, and the upper metal electrode receives the input electrical signal, so that the piezoelectric material layer is displaced between the upper and lower metal electrodes. At the same time, when the piezoelectric material layer is displaced between the upper and lower metal electrodes, a potential difference (i.e., a vibration signal) can be formed between the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric material layer. Since the upper and lower metal electrodes are connected to the external control circuit board, the vibration signal can be input to the external control circuit board, so that the external control circuit board can monitor the vibration signal and obtain a corresponding DC voltage value according to the vibration signal (i.e., a DC current signal).
[0117] The shielding electrode is connected to the signal ground of the external control circuit board.

[0125] S3, metal deposition, so that the lower metal electrode, the piezoelectric material layer and the upper metal electrode are sequentially superimposed on the bottom insulating layer;
[0126] S4, etching the upper metal electrode so that the upper metal electrode covers at least a portion of the top end surface of the piezoelectric material layer;
[0127] S5, etching the piezoelectric material layer so that the piezoelectric material layer at least covers a portion of the top end surface of the lower metal electrode;
[0128] S6, etching the lower metal electrode so that the lower metal electrode at least covers a portion of the top end surface of the bottom insulating layer;

[0131] S9. Depositing and etching a shielding electrode so that the shielding electrode covers at least a portion of the top end surface of the top insulating layer.
[0132] Furthermore, in step S8, after etching the top insulating layer, the top insulating layer is wrapped around the outer sides of the upper metal electrode and the piezoelectric material layer, or the top insulating layer is wrapped around the outer sides of the upper metal electrode, the piezoelectric material layer and the lower metal electrode.
[0133] Further, in step S9, after the shielding electrode is deposited and etched, the shielding electrode covers a portion of the top end surface of the top insulating layer, or the shielding electrode covers the top end surface and the peripheral wall surface of the top insulating layer.
[0134] In the above processing method, by adding the steps of depositing a top insulating layer, etching the top insulating layer, and depositing and etching a shielding electrode, the top insulating layer is at least wrapped around the outside of the piezoelectric material layer, and the shielding electrode at least covers the top end surface of the top insulating layer and is located above the piezoelectric material layer. This can not only effectively package and protect the upper metal electrode, the piezoelectric material layer, and the lower metal electrode, but also effectively shield the upper metal electrode, the piezoelectric material layer, the lower metal electrode, and the generated piezoelectric drive signal, thereby preventing the piezoelectric drive signal from being interfered with by the electric field detection signal and preventing the piezoelectric material layer from being affected by the external environment.

[0137] In this embodiment, specifically, the substrate 22 includes a physical region 221 and a charge induction region 222. The charge induction region 222 is formed by a local region of the top end surface of the physical region 221 being recessed toward the position of the bottom end surface thereof, and the physical region 221 surrounds the outer side of the charge induction region 222 to form a frame-like structure.
[0138] In this embodiment, specifically, the dynamic sensing electrode 23 includes a sensing electrode component a and a piezoelectric electrode component a. The sensing electrode component a is located above the charge sensing region 222 , a portion of the piezoelectric electrode component a is located on the physical region 221 , and the other portion is attached to a portion of the sensing electrode component a.
[0139] In the dynamic induction electrode 23, the direct current signal is obtained by converting the vibration generated by the piezoelectric electrode assembly a according to the excitation signal input from the external control circuit board.

[0141] Furthermore, the piezoelectric electrode assembly a mainly includes a connected piezoelectric electrode and a first lead-out electrode 234, wherein the piezoelectric electrode and the first lead-out electrode 234 are both part of the top end surface covering the solid area 221, the first extension electrode a235 and the second extension electrode a236 are both connected to the piezoelectric electrode, and at the same time, the first extension electrode a235 and the second extension electrode a236 are both connected to the first lead-out electrode 234.
[0142] Optionally, the piezoelectric electrode may be the first piezoelectric electrode a232 and the second piezoelectric electrode a233 in Example 1 or Example 2, or the piezoelectric electrode assembly in Example 3 or Example 9.
[0143] Preferably, the piezoelectric electrode assembly a is the piezoelectric electrode assembly in the third embodiment, including a first piezoelectric electrode a232 (i.e., the first piezoelectric electrode), a second piezoelectric electrode a233 (i.e., the second piezoelectric electrode), a base layer, a first bottom insulating layer, a second bottom insulating layer, a first top insulating layer, a second top insulating layer, a first shielding electrode and a second shielding electrode. The base layer is connected to the substrate layer, and the first lead-out electrode 234 covers a portion of the base layer and is connected to the first piezoelectric electrode a232 and the second piezoelectric electrode a233.
[0144] Furthermore, the external control circuit board is respectively connected to the first piezoelectric electrode a232, the second piezoelectric electrode a233 and the first lead-out electrode 234, and an excitation signal is input to the first piezoelectric electrode a232 and the second piezoelectric electrode a233 to drive the first piezoelectric electrode a232 and the second piezoelectric electrode a233 to vibrate, and the vibration signal output by the first piezoelectric electrode a232 and the second piezoelectric electrode a233 is input to the external control circuit board through the first lead-out electrode 234, thereby converting the DC current signal (i.e., the vibration signal) into a corresponding DC voltage value.
[0145] In this embodiment, specifically, the static sensing electrode 24 includes a sensing electrode component b and a piezoelectric electrode component b. The sensing electrode component b is located above the charge sensing region 222. A portion of the piezoelectric electrode component b is located on the physical region 221, and the other portion is attached to a portion of the sensing electrode component b.
[0146] In the static induction electrode 24, the AC current signal is obtained by the induction electrode assembly b according to the charge conversion induced in the current electric field.
[0147] The sensing electrode assembly b includes a substrate layer and a second metal electrode attached thereon, wherein the second metal electrode includes a second sensing electrode 241 and a first extension electrode b245 and a second extension electrode b246 respectively connected thereto.
[0148] The piezoelectric electrode assembly b mainly includes a connected piezoelectric electrode and a second lead-out electrode 244, wherein the piezoelectric electrode and the second lead-out electrode 244 are both part of the top end surface covering the solid area 221, the first extension electrode b245 and the second extension electrode b246 are both connected to the piezoelectric electrode, and at the same time, the first extension electrode b245 and the second extension electrode b246 are also connected to the second lead-out electrode 244.
[0149] Optionally, the piezoelectric electrode may be the first piezoelectric electrode b242 and the second piezoelectric electrode b243 in Example 1 or Example 2, or the piezoelectric electrode assembly in Example 3 or Example 9.
[0150] Preferably, the piezoelectric electrode assembly b is the piezoelectric electrode assembly in Example three, including a second piezoelectric electrode b242 (i.e., the first piezoelectric electrode), a second piezoelectric electrode b243 (i.e., the second piezoelectric electrode), a base layer, a first bottom insulating layer, a second bottom insulating layer, a first top insulating layer, a second top insulating layer, a first shielding electrode and a second shielding electrode.
[0151] When sensing an AC current signal, since the second metal electrode is located above the charge sensing region 222, when the current electric field changes dramatically, the second sensing electrode 241 can not only sense the charge in the current electric field, but also reciprocate in the upper position of the charge sensing region 222 and the inside of the charge sensing region 222 under the influence of the current electric field. After sensing the charge in the current electric field, the second sensing electrode 241 inputs the obtained AC current signal to the second extraction electrode 244 connected thereto through the first extension electrode b245 and the second extension electrode b246, and then inputs the AC current signal to the external control circuit board connected thereto through the second extraction electrode 244, thereby converting the AC current signal into a corresponding AC voltage value.
[0152] In addition, since the dynamic induction electrode 23 and the static induction electrode 24 have the same structure, they can be switched as needed.
[0153] Exemplarily, when sensing a direct current signal, the sensing electrode assembly a in the dynamic sensing electrode 23 does not sense the charge in the electric field, and the direct current signal is obtained by converting the vibration generated by the piezoelectric electrode assembly a according to the excitation signal, and the direct current signal is input to the external control circuit board connected thereto through the first lead-out electrode 234. When sensing an alternating current signal, the sensing electrode assembly b in the static sensing electrode 24 obtains the charge in the current electric field, and inputs the alternating current signal to the external control circuit board connected thereto through the second lead-out electrode 244. When the piezoelectric electrode assembly a in the dynamic sensing electrode 23 or the sensing electrode assembly b in the static sensing electrode 24 is damaged, since the dynamic sensing electrode 23 and the static sensing electrode 24 have the same structure and working principle, the dynamic sensing electrode 23 and the static sensing electrode 24 can be switched, so that the direct current signal is generated by the piezoelectric electrode assembly b in the static sensing electrode 24 according to the excitation signal, and the alternating current signal is generated by the charge induced by the sensing electrode assembly a in the current electric field, so as to realize the switching of the dynamic sensing electrode 23 and the static sensing electrode 24.
