Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of performance and miniaturization design, MEMS accelerometers are gradually applied in the aspects of life, and therefore, there are higher expectations and requirements for their performance.
The research center of gravity of the MEMS accelerometer has also gradually changed from the capacitive type micro-electromechanical accelerometer to the resonant type micro-electromechanical accelerometer in the last two decades. The capacitive micro-electro-mechanical accelerometer has the advantages that the capacitive micro-electro-mechanical accelerometer is less dependent on the environment due to the displacement change of the capacitor spacing, and the influence of the change of external temperature, stress and the like on devices is less, but the displacement change measured by amplitude detection is easily influenced by the noise of a subsequent circuit, so that the performance is limited; the resonant micro-electromechanical accelerometer changes the equivalent stiffness of a resonator by transmitting the inertia force introduced by the acceleration, and the resonance frequency sensitive acceleration is measured, so that the acceleration signal is directly modulated to the resonance frequency before entering a subsequent circuit, the influence of the subsequent circuit on the resonance frequency is avoided, but the stress transmission mode has high dependence on the external environment and is easily influenced by factors such as residual stress, temperature and the like, and the conventional mainstream resonant accelerometer adopts an integrated design of connecting a sensitive mass block, an inertia force amplification lever and a resonant beam, so that the residual stress between the sensitive mass block and the resonant beam can be mutually transmitted and mutually influenced through the inertia force amplification lever, and the performance stability of the resonant micro-electromechanical accelerometer is limited.
