Technical Field
The utility model relates to a sensor technical field, especially a triaxial piezoresistive accelerometer.
Background
As an inertial device, the accelerometer is widely applied to the fields of aerospace, transportation, automatic control, biology, chemistry, medical analysis, vibration test and the like. With the development and popularization of industry 4.0, the accelerometer is developing towards miniaturization, integration, high reliability and high sensitivity. Accelerometers currently have many types, including piezoresistive, piezoelectric, capacitive, tunnel, etc. The piezoresistive accelerometer has the advantages of small size, high sensitivity, good stability, good dynamic response characteristic and output, wide frequency range, low batch production cost, good compatibility with a silicon integrated circuit planar process and the like, and is widely favored.
Most of the single accelerometers on the market can only detect the acceleration in one or two axial directions, and can not detect the acceleration in three axial directions. However, many applications require a three-axis accelerometer to detect acceleration vectors. There are three methods for implementing piezoresistive three-axis micro-acceleration sensor. The first method is to assemble three single-axis piezoresistive accelerometers together to realize the function of three-axis measurement. However, the method has the disadvantages of large volume, difficult assembly and low vector measurement precision. The second method is to fabricate three uniaxial piezoresistive acceleration sensors on the same chip at the same time. This approach increases the complexity of the process and the cost of the process. And the third method is that the same mass block is utilized to sense acceleration signals in three directions, when the mass block senses accelerations in different directions, the resistance values of the resistors at different positions can be changed, so that the output voltage of a Wheatstone bridge formed by the resistors is changed, and the magnitude and the direction of the acceleration are detected. The micro-accelerometer of the third processing technology has the advantages of small volume, light weight, low cost, low power consumption and the like. In recent years, three-axis piezoresistive micro-accelerometers have been rapidly developed.

The following explains the acceleration detection principle of the accelerometer of the utility model. The acceleration of the mass 2 in the accelerometer is considered to have components in the X, Y and Z axes. Without loss of generality, the components of the acceleration of the mass 2 in the X, Y and Z axes are positive.
Referring to fig. 1, under the action of the positive X-axis acceleration component, the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R1, R2, R21 and R22 increase, the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R17, R18, R5 and R6 decrease, and the strain piezoresistors R9, R10, R13 and R4 do not change. At this time, shear stress is generated on the elastic cantilever beam 3-3 in the negative direction of the Y axis and the elastic cantilever beam 3-4 in the positive direction of the Y axis, and when the beam width is far greater than a thousand thicknesses, deformation generated by the shear stress is completely negligible, and it is considered that resistance values of R19, R20, R23, R24, R3, R4, R7, and R8 do not change. However, the shear stress deforms the intermediate portions of the elastic cantilever beams 3-3 and 3-4, so that the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R11 and R16 increase and the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R12 and R15 decrease. Thus, the output signal V in FIG. 5outReflecting the magnitude of the X-axis acceleration component.
Referring to fig. 1, under the action of the positive Y-axis acceleration component, the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R3, R4, R23 and R24 increase, the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R19, R20, R7 and R8 decrease, and the strain piezoresistors R11, R12, R15 and R6 do not change. At this time, shear stress is generated on the elastic cantilever beam 3-1 in the negative direction of the X axis and the elastic cantilever beam 3-2 in the positive direction of the X axis, and when the beam width is far greater than thousand thickness, deformation generated by the shear stress is completely negligible, and it is considered that resistance values of R17, R18, R21, R22, R1, R2, R5, and R6 do not change. However, it is not limited toThe shear stress deforms the intermediate portions of the elastic cantilever beams 3-1 and 3-2, so that the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R10 and R13 increase and the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R9 and R14 decrease. It can be seen that the Y-axis acceleration component does not affect the resistance of each of the strain piezoresistors in fig. 5, and does not affect the output signal V in fig. 5outTherefore, the coupling between the X-axis and the Y-axis is negligible.
Referring to fig. 1, under the effect of the positive Z-axis acceleration component, the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R17, R18, R19, R20, R21, R22, R23, and R24 increase, the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 decrease, and the resistances of the strain piezoresistors R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, and R16 do not change. In the wheatstone bridge shown in fig. 5, since the changes of the strain piezoresistors R1 and R5 are the same, the changes of the strain piezoresistors R22 and R18 are the same, the changes of the strain piezoresistors R12 and R11 are the same, and the changes of the strain piezoresistors R15 and R16 are the same, it can be seen that the Z-axis acceleration component does not affect the resistance values of the respective strain piezoresistors in fig. 5, and does not affect the output signal V in fig. 5outTherefore, the coupling between the X-axis and the Z-axis is negligible.
Similarly, the output signal V in FIG. 6outThe magnitude of the Y-axis acceleration component is reflected and the coupling between the Y-axis and the X-axis is negligible and the coupling between the Y-axis and the Z-axis is negligible.
Similarly, the output signal V in FIG. 7outThe magnitude of the Z-axis acceleration component is reflected and the coupling between the Z-axis and the X-axis is negligible and the coupling between the Z-axis and the Y-axis is negligible.
As shown in fig. 1, the supporting frame 1 has a limiting module 4 at each of four inner corners, an X-direction overload resisting gap and a Y-direction overload resisting gap are left between each limiting module 4 and the adjacent elastic cantilever beams 3 and mass blocks 2, and a Z-direction overload resisting gap is left between the mass blocks 2 and the lower cover plate 5 and the upper cover plate 6. When the acceleration component in one direction exceeds the preset maximum load, the overload resisting gap in the direction can prevent the mass block 2 from further moving in the direction, and the effect of protecting and protecting the accelerometer is achieved.
In this embodiment, the supporting frame 1, the mass block 2 and the elastic cantilever beams 3 therebetween are made of an SOI sheet material by conventional standard piezoresistive silicon micromachining process. The twenty-four strain piezoresistors arranged on the elastic beam arm 3 are processed and manufactured by the existing diffusion or ion implantation process. The lower cover plate 5 and the upper cover plate 6 are made of Pyrex glass, and the lower cover plate 5 and the upper cover plate 6 are connected with the supporting frame 1 through electrostatic bonding.
In this embodiment, the overall size of the accelerometer is 6000 μm in length, 6000 μm in width, and 2000 μm in height. Wherein the side length of the mass block is 2400 mu m, and the thickness of the mass block is 300 mu m; the beam length of the elastic cantilever beam is 800 mu m, the width of a single-end part beam is 200 mu m, the width of a double-end part beam is 1200 and the thickness of the beam is 20 mu m; the side length of the supporting frame is 4000 mu m, and the width of the frame is 1000 mu m.
In the embodiment, when the acceleration components of the X axis and the Y axis are measured, not only the compressive stress and the tensile stress directly caused by the components are utilized, but also the compressive stress and the tensile stress caused by the shear stress caused by the components are utilized, so that the embodiment has higher sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, the compound cantilever beam adopted by the embodiment has better rigidity compared with the common elastic cantilever beam at present, is beneficial to resetting the mass block 2, reduces the system error and improves the measurement precision. Furthermore, shear stress in the Y-axis (X-axis) direction caused by the X-axis (Y-axis) acceleration component is mainly concentrated in the middle portion 303 of the compound cantilever beam, reducing the influence of the shear stress on the strain piezoresistors located in the single-ended portion 301 and the double-ended portion 302 of the compound cantilever beam, and reducing the inter-axis coupling of the accelerometer.
