The first adhesive layer 21 is used for connecting the insulating medium layer 20 and the current conductor layer 10; the second adhesive layer 22 is used for connecting the insulating medium layer 20 and the magnetic field induction circuit layer 30.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the enhanced insulation safety isolation layer 23 in the isolation structure applied to the current sensor according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a silicon-based wafer 231 disposed adjacent to the first adhesive layer 21, and an insulating film 232 disposed on the silicon-based wafer 231.
Preferably, the material of the insulating film 232 is a material medium similar to polyimide or silicon dioxide, which can provide a safety isolation requirement for enhanced insulation meeting the UL60950-1 standard.
Preferably, the silicon-based wafer 231 of the present invention can provide a larger mechanical supporting force for the magnetic field induction circuit.
In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the silicon-based wafer 231 and the magnetic field induction circuit layer 30 are both made of silicon-based materials, and preferably, the silicon-based wafer 231 and the magnetic field induction circuit layer 30 have the same thermal expansion coefficient; the same thermal expansion coefficient can reduce the internal stress of the magnetic field induction circuit, and can improve the sensitivity drift problem.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the thermal expansion coefficients of the silicon-based wafer 231 and the magnetic field induction circuit layer 30 are both 2.62 × 10^ 10(-6)/℃。
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the enhanced insulating safety isolation layer 23 in the isolation structure applied to the current sensor according to the second embodiment of the present invention is a glass plate.
The glass plate meets the safety isolation requirement of UL60950-1 standard on enhanced insulation; meanwhile, the magnetic field induction circuit can be provided with larger mechanical supporting force.
Preferably, the difference between the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass and the thermal expansion coefficient of the magnetic field sensing circuit layer 30 is smaller than a predetermined thermal expansion coefficient threshold.

Further, in the stacking direction of the isolation structures, the center of the hall sensor 50 overlaps with the center of the semicircular structure of the first partition 11.
