Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种基于π型巨压阻结构的湿度传感器及其温漂修正方法,属于微纳机电系统传感器技术领域。The invention relates to a humidity sensor based on a π-type giant piezoresistive structure and a temperature drift correction method thereof, belonging to the technical field of micro-nano electromechanical system sensors.
背景技术Background technique
从上世纪80年代以来随着MEMS(微机电系统)技术的快速发展,越来越多的MEMS器件被广泛应用于工农业、航空航天、气象环境、国防军事等各个领域。而近些年来随着微探针与微流计等器件的研制成功,数量众多的MEMS器件进入了化学分析、大气检测、和温湿度检测等领域。然而,目前的湿度传感器由于器件本身结构限制,无法实现实时高精度、高灵敏度、高可靠性的湿度测量。Since the 1980s, with the rapid development of MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) technology, more and more MEMS devices have been widely used in various fields such as industry and agriculture, aerospace, meteorological environment, national defense and military affairs. In recent years, with the successful development of devices such as microprobes and microflow meters, a large number of MEMS devices have entered the fields of chemical analysis, atmospheric detection, and temperature and humidity detection. However, the current humidity sensor cannot achieve real-time high-precision, high-sensitivity, and high-reliability humidity measurement due to the structural limitations of the device itself.
传统的湿度传感器大多采用电阻或者电容式的湿敏元件对空气中的水蒸气浓度进行检测,但是由于水和高分子聚合物的介电常数随温度的改变是不同步的,容易产生温漂,同时容易受到光照的影响,所以在很难实现对微小湿度变化的高精度,高灵敏度测量。因此需要对温度的影响和低灵敏度现状进行处理。Most traditional humidity sensors use resistive or capacitive humidity sensors to detect the concentration of water vapor in the air. However, since the dielectric constant of water and polymers changes asynchronously with temperature, it is easy to cause temperature drift. At the same time, it is easily affected by light, so it is difficult to achieve high-precision and high-sensitivity measurement of small humidity changes. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the influence of temperature and the status quo of low sensitivity.

本发明提供的数据采集器17的工作原理:湿度检测区表面覆盖一层过滤网19,将周围环境中除水分以外的其他杂质颗粒过滤,只对空气中水分进行吸收,吸收空气中的水分后π型巨压阻结构5质量发生改变并产生应力,应力通过应力增强结构进行增强,增强后的应力进一步导致π型巨压阻结构5表面尤其是其根部区域产生较大应力,该应力导致π型巨压阻结构5的硅-锗异质结12和金-硅-锗异质结13产生巨压阻效应,即增强后的应力调整了硅-锗异质结12和金- 硅-锗异质结13的势垒高度,使电子通过的数量发生巨大改变,从而使电阻发生数量级的巨变。相对于传统湿度传感器通过电阻电容变化来检测湿度变化,本湿度传感器先通过将湿度变化转变为应力变化,然后通过应力增强并采用在相同应力条件下能够产生更为明显电阻阻值变化的π型巨压阻结构,从而本发明从传感结构上显著提高了湿度传感器的灵敏度,拓宽了其量程范围。The working principle of the data collector 17 provided by the present invention: the surface of the humidity detection area is covered with a layer of filter screen 19, which filters other impurity particles in the surrounding environment except moisture, and only absorbs moisture in the air. The quality of the π-type giant piezoresistive structure 5 changes and generates stress, and the stress is enhanced by the stress-enhancing structure, and the enhanced stress further leads to greater stress on the surface of the π-type giant piezoresistive structure 5, especially in the root region, which leads to π The silicon-germanium heterojunction 12 and the gold-silicon-germanium heterojunction 13 of the type giant piezoresistive structure 5 produce a giant piezoresistive effect, that is, the stress after the enhancement adjusts the silicon-germanium heterojunction 12 and the gold-silicon-germanium heterojunction 12 The height of the potential barrier of the heterojunction 13 greatly changes the number of electrons passing through, so that the resistance undergoes an order of magnitude change. Compared with traditional humidity sensors that detect humidity changes through resistance and capacitance changes, this humidity sensor first converts humidity changes into stress changes, and then enhances the stress and adopts a π-type that can produce more obvious resistance changes under the same stress conditions. The giant piezoresistive structure, so that the invention significantly improves the sensitivity of the humidity sensor from the sensing structure and widens its measuring range.
实施例Example
传统的体硅压阻结构的应变灵敏度系数一般在50-100之间,且易受环境温度的影响。为了说明本发明提供的湿度传感器的技术效果,采用四点弯曲测试装置在-20-60度温度范围内对本发明提出的π型巨压阻结构的应变灵敏度系数进行了测量,测试结果表明:π型巨压阻结构的应变灵敏度系数可以达到1000以上,同时,考察了硅- 锗异质结和金-硅-锗异质结尺寸的变化对应变灵敏度系数的影响,当硅-锗异质结长度为5μm时,应变灵敏度系数数量级巨变,可以达到 3000。另外,温度对π型巨压阻结构的应变灵敏度影响也比较显著,温漂误差达到了3%FS-5%FS。The strain sensitivity coefficient of the traditional bulk silicon piezoresistive structure is generally between 50-100, and is easily affected by the ambient temperature. In order to illustrate the technical effect of the humidity sensor provided by the present invention, the strain sensitivity coefficient of the π-type giant piezoresistive structure proposed by the present invention is measured in the temperature range of -20-60 degrees by using a four-point bending test device, and the test results show that: π The strain sensitivity coefficient of the large piezoresistive structure can reach more than 1000. At the same time, the influence of the size change of the silicon-germanium heterojunction and the gold-silicon-germanium heterojunction on the strain sensitivity coefficient is investigated. When the silicon-germanium heterojunction When the length is 5 μm, the strain sensitivity coefficient changes greatly in magnitude and can reach 3000. In addition, the influence of temperature on the strain sensitivity of the π-type giant piezoresistive structure is also significant, and the temperature drift error reaches 3%FS-5%FS.
由于湿度测量所处的环境复杂,环境温度不是恒定不变的,并且湿度传感器是由半导体材料制作的,所以极易受到温度的影响。考虑到环境温度会对传感器湿度测量带来不小的误差,因此,本发明提供了一种基于π型巨压阻结构的湿度传感器的温漂修正方法,该方法为:STM32F407单片机利用二次曲面拟合函数H标准=f(V,T)对温漂的影响进行实时补偿修正,所述二次曲面拟合函数H标准=f(V,T)的获得方法包括以下步骤:Due to the complex environment in which the humidity is measured, the ambient temperature is not constant, and the humidity sensor is made of semiconductor materials, so it is very susceptible to the influence of temperature. Considering that the ambient temperature will bring considerable errors to the humidity measurement of the sensor, the present invention provides a method for correcting temperature drift of the humidity sensor based on the π-type giant piezoresistive structure. The method is as follows: STM32F407 single-chip The fitting function H standard =f(V, T) performs real-time compensation and correction on the influence of temperature drift, and the method for obtaining the quadratic surface fitting function H standard =f(V, T) includes the following steps:
步骤一,将湿度传感器放入恒温恒湿试验箱内,确定温度T=20 度时的湿度作为标准湿度H标准,然后调节试验箱内的温度,调节范围为-20-60度,步长为10度,得到不同温度下湿度传感器的输出电压值V(T);Step 1, put the humidity sensor into the constant temperature and humidity test chamber, determine the humidity when the temperature T = 20 degrees as the standard humidity H standard , and then adjust the temperature in the test chamber, the adjustment range is -20-60 degrees, and the step size is 10 degrees, get the output voltage value V(T) of the humidity sensor at different temperatures;
步骤二,改变标准湿度H标准,重复步骤一,得到不同温度和不同湿度下的湿度传感器的输出电压值V(H标准,T),将湿度传感器的输出电压值V和温度值T作为待构建的标准湿度曲面方程H标准=(V, T)的输入变量,因此在分析湿度时可以兼顾温度因素的影响;Step 2, change the standard humidity H standard , repeat step 1, obtain the output voltage value V (H standard , T) of the humidity sensor under different temperatures and different humidity, and use the output voltage value V and temperature value T of the humidity sensor as the to-be-built The input variable of the standard humidity surface equation H standard = (V, T), so the influence of the temperature factor can be taken into account when analyzing the humidity;
步骤三,如图6所示,利用上述实验测量的用于构建H标准=(V, T)曲面方程的离散数据进行二次曲面拟合,并采用最小二乘方法确定二次曲面拟合函数H标准=f(V,T)中自变量V和T的系数,从而确定二次曲面拟合函数H标准=f(V,T)。采用最小二乘方法确定二次曲面拟合函数的系数,可以使采用二次曲面拟合函数H标准=f(V,T)计算的湿度值和标准湿度值H标准之间的误差最小。Step 3, as shown in Figure 6, use the discrete data for constructing the H standard =(V, T) surface equation measured by the above experiment to carry out quadratic surface fitting, and adopt the least squares method to determine the quadratic surface fitting function H standard = the coefficients of the independent variables V and T in f(V, T), so as to determine the quadratic surface fitting function H standard = f(V, T). Using the least squares method to determine the coefficients of the quadratic surface fitting function can minimize the error between the humidity value calculated using the quadratic surface fitting function Hstandard =f(V, T) and the standard humidity value Hstandard.
该二次曲面拟合函数H标准=f(V,T)是传感器的被测湿度、环境温度和输出电压之间的曲面拟合数学预测模型,在获取了传感器输出电压和环境温度后可方便地计算出被测湿度值。该二次曲面拟合函数H标准=f(V,T)包含了温度T,通过建立温度和湿度之间的非线性映射关系去除温漂影响,实现温度补偿。将该二次曲面拟合函数移植到 STM32单片机可以进行实时温度漂移补偿修正。The quadratic surface fitting function H standard = f (V, T) is the surface fitting mathematical prediction model between the measured humidity of the sensor, the ambient temperature and the output voltage, and can be conveniently obtained after the sensor output voltage and the ambient temperature Calculate the measured humidity value accurately. The quadratic surface fitting function Hstandard =f(V,T) includes the temperature T, and the influence of temperature drift is removed by establishing a nonlinear mapping relationship between temperature and humidity to realize temperature compensation. Transplanting the quadratic surface fitting function to the STM32 microcontroller can perform real-time temperature drift compensation correction.
