Description

電容量測系統、量測電路及計算裝置 Capacitance measurement system, measurement circuit and calculation device

本發明關於一種量測系統、量測電路及計算裝置,特別是一種可量測電容值的電容量測系統、量測電路及計算裝置。 The present invention relates to a measurement system, measurement circuit and calculation device, in particular to a capacitance measurement system, measurement circuit and calculation device capable of measuring capacitance value.

在進行一些產品的電性測試(例如晶圓的測試)之前,可能需要針對將使用的電容進行量測,以免影響到電性測試。目前量測電容的方式是,由電源供應器提供電流而對待測電容進行充放電,並根據充放電的時間來推測待測電容的電容值。然而此量測方式不僅需耗費較長的量測時間,且在電容充放電的過程中,由於量測環境(例如量測機台或量測儀器等)通常會產生寄生電容,因此容易造成量測誤差。若要消除寄生電容,則必須先計算出寄生電容的電容值,但寄生電容的電容值必須藉由調整大量的量測參數才有辦法計算,如此又會增加時間成本,且亦有可能量測錯誤。 Before conducting electrical testing of some products (such as wafer testing), it may be necessary to measure the capacitors to be used so as not to affect the electrical testing. The current method of measuring the capacitance is to charge and discharge the capacitor to be measured by supplying a current from a power supply, and to estimate the capacitance value of the capacitor to be measured according to the charging and discharging time. However, this measurement method not only consumes a long measurement time, but also in the process of charging and discharging the capacitor, because the measurement environment (such as a measurement machine or a measurement instrument, etc.) usually generates parasitic capacitance, it is easy to cause a measurement error. measurement error. To eliminate the parasitic capacitance, the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance must be calculated first, but the capacitance value of the parasitic capacitance must be calculated by adjusting a large number of measurement parameters, which will increase the time cost, and it is also possible to measure mistake.

此外,現有技術能夠準確量測的電容值等級有其限制,例如目前的量測機台僅能支援量測納法(nanofarad,nF)等級以上的電容值(例如電容值為大於或等於1nF),若直接量測皮法(picofarad,pF)等級的電容值(例如電容值小於1.0nF),將產生極大誤差,因此不符合需求。 In addition, the existing technology has limitations on the level of capacitance that can be accurately measured. For example, the current measuring equipment can only support the measurement of capacitance values above the nanofarad (nF) level (for example, the capacitance value is greater than or equal to 1nF). , If the capacitance value of the picofarad (pF) level is directly measured (for example, the capacitance value is less than 1.0nF), a great error will occur, so it does not meet the requirements.

有鑑於此,本發明提供一種電容量測系統、量測電路及計算裝置,來解決上述的問題。 In view of this, the present invention provides a capacitance measurement system, a measurement circuit and a computing device to solve the above problems.

接著說明量測電路10及計算裝置20的運作方式。 Next, the operation of the measurement circuit 10 and the computing device 20 will be described.

在一實施例中,第一切換器11、第二切換器12及第三切換器13可於不同時間點導通,因此輸入訊號Vin可於不同時間點通過不同的訊號路徑,而電路輸出端OUT可於不同時間點輸出不同的輸出訊號Vo。在一實施例中,第一切換器11的導通期間與其它切換器12、13的導通期間不重疊。在一實施例中,第二切換器12的導通期間可與第三切換器13的導通期間可部分重疊。 In one embodiment, the first switch 11 , the second switch 12 and the third switch 13 can be turned on at different time points, so the input signal Vin can pass through different signal paths at different time points, and the circuit output terminal OUT Different output signals Vo can be output at different time points. In one embodiment, the conduction period of the first switch 11 does not overlap with the conduction periods of the other switches 12 and 13 . In one embodiment, the conduction period of the second switch 12 may partially overlap with the conduction period of the third switch 13 .

更詳細地,在一實施例中,於一第一期間,第一切換器11可導通,而第二切換器12及第三切換器13可斷開。此時第一切換器11所在的訊號路徑為導 通狀態,而第二切換器12及第三切換器13所在的訊號路徑為不導通狀態,因此交流電源30提供的輸入訊號Vin可通過第一切換器11,並經由整流器15進行整流後形成一第一輸出訊號,之後第一輸出訊號於電路輸出端OUT被輸出至計算裝置20。由於所述的訊號路徑上並沒有運算放大器,故第一輸出訊號可相同或近似於經整流後的輸入訊號Vin,因此第一輸出訊號可視為輸入訊號Vin經整流後的直流訊號。 More specifically, in an embodiment, during a first period, the first switch 11 can be turned on, and the second switch 12 and the third switch 13 can be turned off. At this time, the signal path where the first switch 11 is located is the lead The signal path where the second switch 12 and the third switch 13 are located is in the non-conducting state, so the input signal Vin provided by the AC power source 30 can pass through the first switch 11 and be rectified by the rectifier 15 to form a The first output signal is then output to the computing device 20 at the circuit output terminal OUT. Since there is no operational amplifier on the signal path, the first output signal can be the same as or similar to the rectified input signal Vin, so the first output signal can be regarded as a rectified DC signal of the input signal Vin.

在一實施例中,於一第二期間,第二切換器12可導通,而第一切換器11及第三切換器13可斷開。此時第二切換器12所在的訊號路徑為導通狀態,而第一切換器11及第三切換器13所在的路徑則為不導通狀態,因此輸入訊號Vin可通過運算放大器14(訊號因此被放大)、第二切換器12及整流器15,並經由整流器15整流後形成一第二輸出訊號,之後第二輸出訊號於電路輸出端OUT被輸出至計算裝置20。由於所述的訊號路徑上具有運算放大器14,因此第二輸出訊號可視為輸入訊號Vin被放大且經整流後的直流訊號。 In one embodiment, during a second period, the second switch 12 can be turned on, and the first switch 11 and the third switch 13 can be turned off. At this time, the signal path of the second switch 12 is in a conducting state, while the paths of the first switch 11 and the third switch 13 are in a non-conducting state, so the input signal Vin can pass through the operational amplifier 14 (the signal is thus amplified ), the second switch 12 and the rectifier 15, and rectified by the rectifier 15 to form a second output signal, and then the second output signal is output to the computing device 20 at the circuit output terminal OUT. Since there is an operational amplifier 14 on the signal path, the second output signal can be regarded as a DC signal after the input signal Vin is amplified and rectified.

此時,計算裝置20可透過先前取得的第一輸出訊號及目前取得的第二輸出訊號而計算出運算放大器14目前的增益(亦即第一放大增益),其中,第一放大增益可表示為算式(1):Av1=Vo2/Vo1;......算式(1)其中Av1定義為第一放大增益,Vo1定義為第一輸出訊號的電位,Vo2定義為第二輸出訊號的電位。 At this time, the computing device 20 can calculate the current gain (ie, the first amplification gain) of the operational amplifier 14 through the previously obtained first output signal and the currently obtained second output signal, wherein the first amplification gain can be expressed as Formula (1): Av1=Vo2/Vo1;... Formula (1) where Av1 is defined as the first amplification gain, Vo1 is defined as the potential of the first output signal, and Vo2 is defined as the potential of the second output signal.

此外,根據運算放大器14、第一電阻16及第二電阻17的配置,可知第一放大增益(Av1)亦可表示為算式(2):Av1=1+(R1/R2);......算式(2) 其中R1定義為第一電阻16的電阻值,R2定義為第二電阻17的電阻值。須注意的是R1、R2為預設值,亦即第一電阻16及第二電阻17的電阻值為預設值(亦即為已知參數)。 In addition, according to the configuration of the operational amplifier 14, the first resistor 16 and the second resistor 17, it can be known that the first amplification gain (Av1) can also be expressed as formula (2): Av1=1+(R1/R2);  … .. Formula (2) R1 is defined as the resistance value of the first resistor 16 , and R2 is defined as the resistance value of the second resistor 17 . It should be noted that R1 and R2 are preset values, that is, the resistance values of the first resistor 16 and the second resistor 17 are preset values (ie, known parameters).

在一實施例中,於一第三期間,第二切換器12及第三切換器13可導通,而第一切換器11可斷開。此時第二切換器12及第三切換器13所在的訊號路徑為導通狀態,而第一切換器11所在的訊號路徑為不導通狀態,因此輸入訊號Vin會通過運算放大器14(訊號因此被放大)、第二切換器12及整流器15,並經由整流器15整流後形成一第三輸出訊號,之後第三輸出訊號於電路輸出端OUT被輸出至計算裝置20。由於所述的訊號路徑上具有運算放大器14,因此第三輸出訊號可視為輸入訊號Vin被放大且經整流後的直流訊號,並且由於第三切換器13導通,運算放大器14的放大增益將會受到待測電容40的電抗值Xc的影響,因此第三輸出訊號與第二輸出訊號的電位不相同。 In one embodiment, during a third period, the second switch 12 and the third switch 13 can be turned on, and the first switch 11 can be turned off. At this time, the signal paths of the second switch 12 and the third switch 13 are in a conducting state, while the signal paths of the first switch 11 are in a non-conducting state, so the input signal Vin will pass through the operational amplifier 14 (the signal is thus amplified). ), the second switch 12 and the rectifier 15, and rectified by the rectifier 15 to form a third output signal, and then the third output signal is output to the computing device 20 at the circuit output terminal OUT. Since there is an operational amplifier 14 on the signal path, the third output signal can be regarded as an amplified and rectified DC signal of the input signal Vin, and since the third switch 13 is turned on, the amplification gain of the operational amplifier 14 will be affected by Due to the influence of the reactance value Xc of the capacitor 40 under test, the potentials of the third output signal and the second output signal are different.

此時計算裝置20可藉由先前取得的第一輸出訊號及目前取得的第三輸出訊號計算出目前運算放大器14的增益(亦即第二放大增益),其中,第二放大增益可表示為算式(3):Av2=Vo3/Vo1;......算式(3)其中Av2定義為第二放大增益,Vo3定義為第三輸出訊號的電位。 At this time, the computing device 20 can calculate the current gain of the operational amplifier 14 (ie, the second amplification gain) based on the previously obtained first output signal and the currently obtained third output signal, wherein the second amplification gain can be expressed as a formula (3): Av2=Vo3/Vo1; ...... Formula (3) where Av2 is defined as the second amplification gain, and Vo3 is defined as the potential of the third output signal.

此外,根據運算放大器14與第一電阻16、第二電阻17及待測電容40的配置,亦可知第二放大增益亦可表示為算式(4):Av2=1+[R1/(R2//Xc)]=1+[R1/(R2*Xc)/(R2+Xc)]=1+[(R1*R2+R1*Xc)/(R2*Xc)] =1+(R1/Xc)+(R1/R2)=(R1/Xc)+Av1;......算式(4)其中Xc定義為待測電容40的電抗值,R2//Xc定義為第二電阻17與待測電容40並聯的電阻值。 In addition, according to the configuration of the operational amplifier 14, the first resistor 16, the second resistor 17 and the capacitor to be measured 40, the second amplification gain can also be expressed as formula (4): Av2=1+[R1/(R2// Xc)]=1+[R1/(R2*Xc)/(R2+Xc)]=1+[(R1*R2+R1*Xc)/(R2*Xc)] =1+(R1/Xc)+(R1/R2)=(R1/Xc)+Av1;... Formula (4) where Xc is defined as the reactance value of the capacitor 40 to be measured, and R2//Xc is defined is the resistance value of the second resistor 17 and the capacitor 40 to be measured in parallel.

此外,在一實施例中,當計算模組20透過算式(1)及算式(3)計算出第一放大增益及第二放大增益後,計算模組20可根據第一放大增益、第二放大增益、第一電阻的電阻值及算式(4)計算出待測電容40的電抗值(例如Xc=R1/(Av2-Av1))。又,待測電容40的電抗值亦可表示為算式(5):Xc=1/(2 π fC);......算式(5)其中π為圓周率,f為輸入訊號Vin的頻率(為可調變的數值,且為已知參數),C為電容值。因此,當計算模組20計算出待測電容40的電抗值後,即可根據算式(5)計算出待測電容40的電容值。 In addition, in one embodiment, after the calculation module 20 calculates the first amplification gain and the second amplification gain through the formula (1) and the formula (3), the calculation module 20 may calculate the first amplification gain and the second amplification gain according to the first amplification gain and the second amplification gain. The gain, the resistance value of the first resistor and the formula (4) calculate the reactance value of the capacitor 40 to be measured (eg Xc=R1/(Av2-Av1)). In addition, the reactance value of the capacitor 40 to be measured can also be expressed as formula (5): Xc=1/(2 π fC); ...... formula (5) where π is the pi, and f is the frequency of the input signal Vin (It is an adjustable value and is a known parameter), C is the capacitance value. Therefore, after the calculation module 20 calculates the reactance value of the capacitor under test 40, the capacitance value of the capacitor under test 40 can be calculated according to the formula (5).

藉此,待測電容40的電容值即可被計算模組20計算出來。 In this way, the capacitance value of the capacitor to be measured 40 can be calculated by the calculation module 20 .

如圖4所示,當待測電容40的目標值C1為33(pF)時,交流電源30提供輸入訊號Vin的頻率設定為1091000(Hz)。當第一切換器11導通,其餘切換器皆 為斷開時,計算裝置20偵測到第一輸出訊號Vo1為0.194(V)。當第二切換器導通,其餘切換器皆為斷開時,計算裝置20偵測到第二輸出訊號Vo2為1.19(V)。當第二切換器12及第三切換器13導通時,第一切換器11斷開時,計算裝置20偵測到第三輸出訊號Vo3為2.292(V)。之後,計算裝置20根據算式(1)計算第一放大增益(亦即Av1=Vo2/Vo1=1.19/0.194=6.134),由上式得知第一放大增益Av1約為6.134,並且計算裝置20根據算式(3)計算第二放大增益(亦即Av2=Vo3/Vo1=2.292/0.194=11.8144),由上式得知第二放大增益Av2約為11.814。之後,計算裝置20再根據算式(4)計算電抗值Xc(亦即Xc=R1/(Av2-Av1)=25000/(11.814-6.134)=4401.089),由上式得知待測電容40的電抗值Xc為4401.089(ohm)。之後,計算裝置20根據算式(5)計算量測值C2(亦即C2=1/(2 π fXc)=1/(2 π.1091000.4401.088929=33.163.10-12),故待測電容40的量測值C2約為33.163(pF)。據此,可計算出待測電容40的目標值C1與量測值C2之間的誤差值(亦即|(C1-C2)|/C1=|(33.10-12-33.163.10-12)|/33.10-12=0.00494),由上式得知待測電容40目標值C1與量測值C2的誤差值約為0.494%。 As shown in FIG. 4 , when the target value C1 of the capacitance to be measured 40 is 33 (pF), the frequency of the input signal Vin provided by the AC power source 30 is set to 1091000 (Hz).

當待測電容40的目標值C1為792(pF)時,交流電源30提供輸入訊號Vin的頻率設定為184000(Hz)。當第一切換器11導通,其餘切換器皆為斷開時,計算裝置20偵測到第一輸出訊號Vo1為0.194(V)。當第二切換器導通,其餘切換器皆為斷開時,第二輸出訊號Vo2為1.19(V)。當第二切換器12及第三切換器13導通時,第一切換器11斷開時,第三輸出訊號Vo3為5.63(V)。之後,計算裝置20根據算式(1)、(3)、(4)及(5)運算出第一放大增益Av1約為6.134及第二放大增益Av2約為29.021,待測電容40的電抗值Xc約為1092.342(ohm),以及待測電容40的量測值C2約為792.253(pF),其中待測電容40目標值C1與量測值C2的誤差值約為0.032%。 When the target value C1 of the capacitance under test 40 is 792 (pF), the frequency of the input signal Vin provided by the AC power source 30 is set to 184000 (Hz). When the first switch 11 is turned on and the other switches are turned off, the computing device 20 detects that the first output signal Vo1 is 0.194 (V). When the second switch is turned on and the other switches are turned off, the second output signal Vo2 is 1.19 (V). When the second switch 12 and the third switch 13 are turned on, and the first switch 11 is turned off, the third output signal Vo3 is 5.63 (V). Then, the computing device 20 calculates the first amplification gain Av1 to be approximately 6.134 and the second amplification gain Av2 to be approximately 29.021 according to the equations (1), (3), (4) and (5), and the reactance value Xc of the capacitor 40 to be measured. It is about 1092.342 (ohm), and the measured value C2 of the capacitance to be measured 40 is about 792.253 (pF), wherein the error value between the target value C1 of the capacitance to be measured 40 and the measured value C2 is about 0.032%.

關於第二實施例(圖5)的結構,相較於第一實施例,第二實施例的量測電路10更包含一第四切換器18及一第五切換器19。此外,第二實施例的第三切換器13與待測電容40為間接連接,例如第四切換器18的一端可與第三切換器13的第二端13b電性連接,第四切換器18的另一端可與一參考電容50電性連接,而第五切換器19的一端可與第三切換器13的第二端13b電性連接,第五切換器19的另一端可與待測電容40電性連接,使第三切換器13分別與第四切換器18及第五切換器19形成串聯的電性連接。在一實施例中,第四切換器18及第五切換器19的導通與否亦可由外部控制元件(圖未顯示)進行控制,但不限於此。 Regarding the structure of the second embodiment ( FIG. 5 ), compared with the first embodiment, the measurement circuit 10 of the second embodiment further includes a fourth switch 18 and a fifth switch 19 . In addition, the third switch 13 of the second embodiment is indirectly connected to the capacitor to be measured 40 . For example, one end of the fourth switch 18 can be electrically connected to the second end 13 b of the third switch 13 , and the fourth switch 18 The other end of the fifth switch 19 can be electrically connected to a reference capacitor 50, one end of the fifth switch 19 can be electrically connected to the second end 13b of the third switch 13, and the other end of the fifth switch 19 can be electrically connected to the capacitor to be measured 40 is electrically connected, so that the third switch 13 and the fourth switch 18 and the fifth switch 19 are respectively electrically connected in series. In one embodiment, the conduction of the fourth switch 18 and the fifth switch 19 can also be controlled by an external control element (not shown in the figure), but it is not limited thereto.

關於第三實施例(圖6)的結構,相較於第一實施例,第三實施例(圖6)的量測電路10更包含一第四切換器18。第三實施例的第三切換器13的第二端13b與待測電容40為電性連接,例如直接連接,第四切換器18的一端可以與第三切換器13的第一端13a電性連接,第四切換器18的另一端可以與一參考電容50電性連接,進而使第三切換器13、待測電容40、第四切換器18及參考電容50形成並聯的電路。透過第三切換器13控制待測電容40的電性連接,以及透過第四切換器18控制參考電容50電性的連接,使電路結構簡單,減少電路製造的成本。 Regarding the structure of the third embodiment ( FIG. 6 ), compared with the first embodiment, the measurement circuit 10 of the third embodiment ( FIG. 6 ) further includes a fourth switch 18 . In the third embodiment, the second end 13 b of the third switch 13 is electrically connected to the capacitor to be measured 40 , for example, directly connected, and one end of the fourth switch 18 may be electrically connected to the first end 13 a of the third switch 13 Connected, the other end of the fourth switch 18 can be electrically connected to a reference capacitor 50 , so that the third switch 13 , the capacitor under test 40 , the fourth switch 18 and the reference capacitor 50 form a parallel circuit. The electrical connection of the capacitor under test 40 is controlled by the third switch 13, and the electrical connection of the reference capacitor 50 is controlled by the fourth switch 18, so that the circuit structure is simple and the cost of circuit manufacturing is reduced.

在圖5或圖6的一實施例中,參考電容50為與待測電容40可為相同規格(例如具備相同的電容值等級或是為相同電容值級距,且不限於此),此外參考電容50的目標值(例如實際電容值)可為已知參數,參考電容50的目標值例如是經過標準實驗室檢測出來的標準值,具有高度的準確性,使參考電容50可做為比較或參考的基準。因此,參考電容50可做為電容量測系統1的量測結果的參考依據。 In an embodiment of FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 , the reference capacitor 50 and the capacitor to be measured 40 may be of the same specification (eg, have the same capacitance value level or the same capacitance value level interval, but not limited thereto). In addition, refer to The target value of the capacitor 50 (eg, the actual capacitance value) can be a known parameter, and the target value of the reference capacitor 50 is, for example, a standard value detected by a standard laboratory, and has a high degree of accuracy, so that the reference capacitor 50 can be used as a comparison or reference benchmark. Therefore, the reference capacitor 50 can be used as a reference for the measurement result of the capacitance measurement system 1 .

據此,在進行待測電容40的量測之前,圖5或圖6的量測電路10可先進行參考電容50的量測,並根據參考電容50的量測值及目標值調整出最適合的輸入訊號Vin頻率,之後再進行待測電容40的量測。接著將說明第二實施例及第三實施例的運作過程的細節。 Accordingly, before the measurement of the capacitance to be measured 40 is performed, the measurement circuit 10 of FIG. 5 or FIG. 6 can measure the reference capacitance 50 first, and adjust the most suitable value according to the measured value of the reference capacitance 50 and the target value. The frequency of the input signal Vin, and then the measurement of the capacitance to be measured 40 is performed. Next, the details of the operation of the second embodiment and the third embodiment will be described.

在第二實施例(圖5)中,於第一期間,第一切換器11導通,其餘切換器12、13、18、19斷開,此時量測電路10可輸出第一輸出訊號至計算裝置20。又於第二期間,第二切換器12導通,其餘切換器11、13、18、19斷開,此時量測電路10可輸出第一輸出訊號至計算裝置20,計算裝置20因此可計算出運算放大器14的第一放大增益。於第三期間,第二切換器12、第三切換器13及第四切換器18導通,其餘切換器11、19斷開,此時量測電路10可輸出第三輸出訊號至計算裝置20,計算裝置20因此可計算出運算放大器14的第二放大增益,並進而計算出參考電容50的一量測值。 In the second embodiment ( FIG. 5 ), during the first period, the first switch 11 is turned on, and the other switches 12 , 13 , 18 , and 19 are turned off. At this time, the measurement circuit 10 can output the first output signal to the calculation device 20. In the second period, the second switch 12 is turned on, and the other switches 11, 13, 18, and 19 are turned off. At this time, the measurement circuit 10 can output the first output signal to the computing device 20, and the computing device 20 can therefore calculate The first amplification gain of the operational amplifier 14 . During the third period, the second switch 12 , the third switch 13 and the fourth switch 18 are turned on, and the other switches 11 and 19 are turned off. At this time, the measurement circuit 10 can output the third output signal to the computing device 20 . The computing device 20 can thus calculate the second amplification gain of the operational amplifier 14 and further calculate a measured value of the reference capacitor 50 .

又,在第三實施例(圖6)中,於第一期間,第一切換器11導通,其餘切換器12、13、18斷開,此時量測電路10可輸出第一輸出訊號至計算裝置20。又於第二期間,第二切換器12導通,其餘切換器11、13、18斷開,此時量測電路10可輸出第一輸出訊號至計算裝置20,計算裝置20因此可計算出運算放大器14 的第一放大增益。於第三期間,第二切換器12及第四切換器18導通,其餘切換器11、13斷開,此時量測電路10可輸出第三輸出訊號至計算裝置20,計算裝置20因此可計算出運算放大器14的第二放大增益,並進而計算出參考電容50的一量測值。第三實施例可具備更少的切換器,具有結構簡單的特色,並可減少電路設計成本。 Moreover, in the third embodiment (FIG. 6), during the first period, the first switch 11 is turned on, and the other switches 12, 13, and 18 are turned off. At this time, the measurement circuit 10 can output the first output signal to the calculation device 20. In the second period, the second switch 12 is turned on, and the other switches 11 , 13 , and 18 are turned off. At this time, the measurement circuit 10 can output the first output signal to the computing device 20 , and the computing device 20 can therefore calculate the operational amplifier. 14 the first amplification gain. During the third period, the second switch 12 and the fourth switch 18 are turned on, and the other switches 11 and 13 are turned off. At this time, the measurement circuit 10 can output the third output signal to the computing device 20, and the computing device 20 can therefore calculate The second amplification gain of the operational amplifier 14 is obtained, and then a measured value of the reference capacitor 50 is calculated. The third embodiment can have fewer switches, has a simple structure, and can reduce circuit design costs.

之後,將參考電容50的量測值與目標值進行比較,即可得知電容量測系統1目前的準確度。在一實施例中,藉由調變交流電源30所提供的輸入訊號Vin的頻率,電容量測系統1的準確度將可被調整。在一實施例中,根據參考電容50的量測值與目標值之間的差異,持續調變輸入訊號Vin的頻率,即可找出量測值與目標值差異最小時所對應的頻率,其中該頻率即可視為適合參考電容50或待測電容40規格的頻率。當合適頻率決定後,即可進行待測電容40的量測。 Afterwards, the current accuracy of the capacitance measurement system 1 can be known by comparing the measured value of the reference capacitance 50 with the target value. In one embodiment, by modulating the frequency of the input signal Vin provided by the AC power source 30 , the accuracy of the capacitance measuring system 1 can be adjusted. In one embodiment, according to the difference between the measured value of the reference capacitor 50 and the target value, the frequency of the input signal Vin is continuously modulated, so as to find the frequency corresponding to the smallest difference between the measured value and the target value, wherein This frequency can be regarded as a frequency suitable for the specification of the reference capacitor 50 or the capacitor 40 to be measured. After the appropriate frequency is determined, the measurement of the capacitance to be measured 40 can be performed.

此外,在一實施例中,電容量測系統1可自動進行前述調變頻率及尋找合適頻率的步驟,例如電容量測系統1可包含一控制器(圖5及圖6未顯示)、一記憶體(圖5及圖6未顯示)及一處理器(圖5及圖6未顯示),其中控制器可用於在特定期間內或在預設次數下控制交流電源30調變輸入訊號Vin的頻率,計算裝置20可比較每個頻率的量測值與目標值之間的差異,記憶體可記錄每次比較結果,而處理器可從該等比較結果中選擇差異最小結果所對應的頻率做為合適頻率,使交流電源30輸出合適頻率的輸出訊號。 In addition, in one embodiment, the capacitance measurement system 1 can automatically perform the aforementioned steps of frequency modulation and finding a suitable frequency. For example, the capacitance measurement system 1 may include a controller (not shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 ), a memory A body (not shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 ) and a processor (not shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 ), wherein the controller can be used to control the AC power source 30 to modulate the frequency of the input signal Vin within a specific period or a preset number of times , the computing device 20 can compare the difference between the measured value of each frequency and the target value, the memory can record each comparison result, and the processor can select the frequency corresponding to the minimum difference result from the comparison results as the frequency With a suitable frequency, the AC power supply 30 outputs an output signal with a suitable frequency.

在一實施例中,電容量測系統1中儲存有電容值或是電容值區間對應輸入訊號Vin的頻率的資料,當參考電容50的目標值C1為已知參數時,將參考電容50的目標值C1輸入電容量測系統1,交流電源30即可產生與參考電容50的目標值相對應的合適頻率,其中合適頻率的設定可如下:首先由交流電源30提供任 意頻率的輸入訊號Vin,當第一切換器11導通,其餘切換器皆為斷開時,計算裝置20偵測到第一輸出訊號Vo1,當第二切換器導通,其餘切換器皆為斷開時,計算裝置20偵測到第二輸出訊號Vo2,當第二切換器12、第三切換器13及第四切換器18導通時,第一切換器11及第五切換器19斷開時,計算裝置20偵測到第三輸出訊號Vo3,接著計算裝置20根據算式(1)及(3)運算出第一放大增益Av1、第二放大增益Av2,計算裝置20再依據第一放大增益Av1、第二放大增益Av2、算式(2)及(4)運算出參考電容50的電抗值(例如Xc=R1/(Av2-Av1))。 In one embodiment, the capacitance measurement system 1 stores capacitance value or capacitance value interval data corresponding to the frequency of the input signal Vin. When the target value C1 of the reference capacitor 50 is a known parameter, the target value of the reference capacitor 50 is The value C1 is input into the capacitance measuring system 1, and the AC power source 30 can generate a suitable frequency corresponding to the target value of the reference capacitor 50. The setting of the suitable frequency can be as follows: First, the AC power source 30 provides any The input signal Vin of the desired frequency, when the first switch 11 is turned on and the other switches are turned off, the computing device 20 detects the first output signal Vo1, and when the second switch is turned on, the rest of the switches are turned off When the computing device 20 detects the second output signal Vo2, when the second switch 12, the third switch 13 and the fourth switch 18 are turned on, and the first switch 11 and the fifth switch 19 are turned off, The computing device 20 detects the third output signal Vo3, and then the computing device 20 calculates the first amplification gain Av1 and the second amplification gain Av2 according to the equations (1) and (3), and the computing device 20 calculates the first amplification gain Av1, The reactance value of the reference capacitor 50 (eg, Xc=R1/(Av2−Av1)) is calculated by the second amplification gain Av2 and the formulas (2) and (4).

由於參考電容50的目標值為已知參數,參考電容50的電抗值也被計算得知,藉由算式(5)推導得知交流電源30提供的合適頻率f=1/(2 π C1Xc),上述的計算可由電容量測系統1中的處理器(圖未顯示)運算,接著電容量測系統1即使用合適頻率作為交流電源30輸入訊號Vin,且參考電容50的目標值C1及對應交流電源30提供的合適頻率的可儲存至電容量測系統1中的記憶體(圖未顯示),便於後續輸入相同的電容值或是電容值區間時,電容量測系統1的控制器(圖未顯示)即可控制交流電源30產生與輸入電容值相應合適頻率的輸入訊號Vin,上述輸入訊號Vin的頻率的獲得方式,具有依照對應電容值快速獲得的優點,且電容量測系統1的量測誤差具備一定精準度。 Since the target value of the reference capacitor 50 is a known parameter, the reactance value of the reference capacitor 50 is also calculated, and the appropriate frequency f=1/(2 π C1Xc) provided by the AC power supply 30 can be derived by formula (5), The above calculation can be performed by the processor (not shown) in the capacitance measurement system 1, and then the capacitance measurement system 1 uses a suitable frequency as the input signal Vin of the AC power supply 30, and refers to the target value C1 of the capacitor 50 and the corresponding AC power supply. The appropriate frequency provided by 30 can be stored in the memory (not shown in the figure) of the capacitance measurement system 1, so that when the same capacitance value or capacitance value range is subsequently input, the controller of the capacitance measurement system 1 (not shown in the figure) ) can control the AC power supply 30 to generate an input signal Vin with a suitable frequency corresponding to the input capacitance value. The above-mentioned method of obtaining the frequency of the input signal Vin has the advantage of quickly obtaining the frequency according to the corresponding capacitance value, and the measurement error of the capacitance measurement system 1 Has a certain accuracy.

此外,輸入訊號獲得頻率的方式,可進一步搭配前一實施例中的方式,亦即先以計算的方式獲得交流電源30的輸入訊號Vin頻率調整的基礎值後,在特定期間內或在預設次數下控制交流電源30調變輸入訊號Vin的頻率,進而獲得參考電容50的量測值,計算裝置20再比較每個頻率的量測值與目標值之間的差異,而記憶體可記錄每次比較結果,處理器再從該等比較結果中選擇差異最小結果所對應輸入訊號Vin的頻率做為合適頻率。因量測電路10中可能存在寄 生元件(parasitic element),進而對量測電路10造成影響,使量測值的結果產生誤差,為了降低寄生元件對量測電路10造成的影響,在特定期間內或在預設次數下控制交流電源30調變輸入訊號Vin的頻率,利用頻率的調整,進一步獲得交流電源30輸出適合參考電容50或待測電容40的頻率,使電容量測系統1的量測誤差值降到最低,且交流電源30的頻率獲得過程兼具效率與準確的優勢。 In addition, the method of obtaining the frequency of the input signal can be further matched with the method in the previous embodiment, that is, after obtaining the basic value of the frequency adjustment of the input signal Vin of the AC power source 30 by calculation, within a specific period or at a preset time The AC power source 30 is controlled to modulate the frequency of the input signal Vin under the number of times, and then the measured value of the reference capacitor 50 is obtained. The computing device 20 then compares the difference between the measured value of each frequency and the target value, and the memory can record each After the comparison results, the processor selects the frequency of the input signal Vin corresponding to the result with the smallest difference as the appropriate frequency from the comparison results. Because there may be a register in the measurement circuit 10 In order to reduce the influence of parasitic elements on the measurement circuit 10, the measurement circuit 10 is affected by the control circuit 10 within a certain period or at a preset number of times. The frequency of the input signal Vin is modulated by the power supply 30, and the frequency of the output of the AC power supply 30 suitable for the reference capacitor 50 or the capacitor to be measured 40 is further obtained by adjusting the frequency, so that the measurement error of the capacitance measurement system 1 is minimized, and the AC The frequency acquisition process of the power source 30 has the advantages of both efficiency and accuracy.

圖7是本發明一實施例的輸入訊號的頻率調變的實驗數據圖。 FIG. 7 is a graph of experimental data of frequency modulation of an input signal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

如圖7所示,在參考電容50的目標值C1為33(pF)的情況下,當輸入訊號Vin的頻率未調整成合適頻率時(例如頻率為1000000Hz時),參考電容50的量測值C2為34.847(pF),量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為5.597%。而當輸入訊號Vin的頻率為合適頻率的情況下(例如頻率為1090000Hz時),參考電容50的量測值C2為33.133(pF),量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為0.403%。 As shown in FIG. 7 , when the target value C1 of the reference capacitor 50 is 33 (pF), when the frequency of the input signal Vin is not adjusted to an appropriate frequency (for example, when the frequency is 1,000,000 Hz), the measured value of the reference capacitor 50 C2 is 34.847 (pF), and the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 5.597%. When the frequency of the input signal Vin is a suitable frequency (for example, when the frequency is 1090000 Hz), the measured value C2 of the reference capacitor 50 is 33.133 (pF), and the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 0.403%.

又如圖7所示,在參考電容50的目標值C1為305(pF)的情況下,在輸入訊號Vin的頻率未調整成合適頻率的情況下(例如頻率為300000Hz時),參考電容50的量測值C2為281.261(pF),量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為7.783%。而當輸入訊號Vin的頻率為合適頻率的情況下(例如頻率為333000Hz時),參考電容50的量測值C2為305.437(pF),因此量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為0.143%。 Also as shown in FIG. 7 , when the target value C1 of the reference capacitor 50 is 305 (pF), and the frequency of the input signal Vin is not adjusted to an appropriate frequency (for example, when the frequency is 300,000 Hz), the reference capacitor 50 has a The measured value C2 is 281.261 (pF), and the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 7.783%. And when the frequency of the input signal Vin is a suitable frequency (for example, when the frequency is 333000Hz), the measured value C2 of the reference capacitor 50 is 305.437 (pF), so the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about is 0.143%.

又如圖7所示,在參考電容50的目標值C1為557(pF)的情況下,在輸入訊號Vin的頻率未調整成合適頻率的情況下(例如頻率為200000Hz時),參考電容50的量測值C2為505.614(pF),量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為9.225%。而當輸入訊號Vin的頻率為合適頻率的情況下(例如頻率為230000Hz時),參考電 容50的量測值C2為557.281(pF),因此量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為0.05%。 As shown in FIG. 7 , when the target value C1 of the reference capacitor 50 is 557 (pF), and the frequency of the input signal Vin is not adjusted to an appropriate frequency (for example, when the frequency is 200,000 Hz), the reference capacitor 50 has a The measured value C2 is 505.614 (pF), and the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 9.225%. And when the frequency of the input signal Vin is a suitable frequency (for example, when the frequency is 230000Hz), the reference voltage The measured value C2 of the capacitor 50 is 557.281 (pF), so the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 0.05%.

據此,每組實驗數據皆顯示了當輸入訊號Vin的頻率調變為合適頻率時,量測值與目標值的誤差可大幅降低的結果。由此可知,調變輸入訊號Vin的頻率確實可改變電容量測系統1的準確度。 Accordingly, each set of experimental data shows that when the frequency of the input signal Vin is adjusted to an appropriate frequency, the error between the measured value and the target value can be greatly reduced. It can be seen from this that modulating the frequency of the input signal Vin can indeed change the accuracy of the capacitance measuring system 1 .

藉由設定合適頻率的機制,量測環境中的寄生電容造成的影響將可被大幅降低。並且,藉由頻率的調變,電容量測系統1可支援量測容量更小的電容值(例如pF等級),因此可解決習知技術的量測電容值容量限制的問題。 By setting the appropriate frequency mechanism, the influence of parasitic capacitance in the measurement environment can be greatly reduced. In addition, through frequency modulation, the capacitance measurement system 1 can support the measurement of capacitance values with smaller capacitance (eg, pF level), thus solving the problem of capacity limitation in the prior art for measuring capacitance values.

經由上述實驗驗證,合適頻率確實能使參考電容50的量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值小於一預設值(例如小於1%)。之後,即可依照合適頻率進行與參考電容50相同規格之待測電容40的量測。接著說明第二實施例(圖5)及第三實施例(圖6)量測待測電容40時的細節。 It is verified by the above experiments that the appropriate frequency can indeed make the error value between the measured value C2 of the reference capacitor 50 and the target value C1 less than a predetermined value (eg, less than 1%). After that, the measurement of the capacitor under test 40 with the same specification as the reference capacitor 50 can be performed according to the appropriate frequency.

如圖8所示,量測電路10採取第二實施例或第三實施例的電路設計,待測電容40採用已知實際電容值(以下稱之為目標值C1)的電容,以方便計算目標值C1與量測值C2的誤差值。此外,待測電容40的數值分別選用33(pF)、305(pF)及557(pF),以符合與各參考電容50相同規格的條件,並配合圖7中各參考電容50的目標值C1所對應的合適頻率,透過量測電路10運算以獲得待測電容的量測值C2,並由計算裝置20獲得目標值C1與量測值C2的誤差值結果。 As shown in FIG. 8 , the measurement circuit 10 adopts the circuit design of the second embodiment or the third embodiment, and the capacitance to be measured 40 adopts a capacitance with a known actual capacitance value (hereinafter referred to as the target value C1 ), so as to facilitate the calculation of the target The error value between the value C1 and the measured value C2. In addition, the values of the capacitors 40 to be tested are selected as 33 (pF), 305 (pF) and 557 (pF) respectively, so as to meet the conditions of the same specifications as the reference capacitors 50 and match the target value C1 of the reference capacitors 50 in FIG. 7 . The corresponding appropriate frequency is calculated by the measurement circuit 10 to obtain the measurement value C2 of the capacitance to be measured, and the calculation device 20 obtains the error value result between the target value C1 and the measurement value C2.

又如圖8所示,待測電容40的目標值C1為33(pF)時,依照圖7的結果,採用與待測電容40相同規格的參考電容50(目標值C1同為33(pF))獲得的合適頻率(例如頻率為1090000Hz時)作為輸入訊號Vin,待測電容40的量測值C2為33.193(pF),量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為0.585%。透過合適頻率的選用,將使得量測電路10檢測待測電容40的結果更為準確。 Also as shown in FIG. 8 , when the target value C1 of the capacitor under test 40 is 33 (pF), according to the results in FIG. 7 , a reference capacitor 50 with the same specifications as the capacitor under test 40 is used (the target value C1 is also 33 (pF) ) to obtain a suitable frequency (eg, when the frequency is 1090000 Hz) as the input signal Vin, the measured value C2 of the capacitor 40 to be measured is 33.193 (pF), and the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 0.585%. By selecting a suitable frequency, the result of the measurement circuit 10 in detecting the capacitance to be measured 40 will be more accurate.

又如圖8所示,待測電容40的目標值C1為305(pF)時,依照圖7的結果,採用與待測電容40相同規格的參考電容50(目標值C1同為305(pF))獲得的合適頻率(例如頻率為333000Hz時)作為輸入訊號Vin,待測電容40的量測值C2為306.432(pF),量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為0.470%。透過合適頻率的選用,將使得量測電路10檢測待測電容40的結果更為準確。 Also as shown in FIG. 8 , when the target value C1 of the capacitor under test 40 is 305 (pF), according to the results in FIG. 7 , the reference capacitor 50 with the same specifications as the capacitor under test 40 is used (the target value C1 is also 305 (pF) ) to obtain a suitable frequency (eg, when the frequency is 333000 Hz) as the input signal Vin, the measured value C2 of the capacitor 40 to be measured is 306.432 (pF), and the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 0.470%. By selecting a suitable frequency, the result of the measurement circuit 10 in detecting the capacitance to be measured 40 will be more accurate.

又如圖8所示,待測電容40的目標值C1為557(pF)時,依照圖7的結果,採用與待測電容40相同規格的參考電容50(目標值C1同為557(pF))獲得的合適頻率(例如頻率為230000Hz時)作為輸入訊號Vin,待測電容40的量測值C2為560.161(pF),量測值C2與目標值C1之間的誤差值約為0.568%。透過合適頻率的選用,將使得量測電路10檢測待測電容40的結果更為準確。 Also as shown in FIG. 8 , when the target value C1 of the capacitor under test 40 is 557 (pF), according to the result of FIG. 7 , the reference capacitor 50 with the same specifications as the capacitor under test 40 is used (the target value C1 is also 557 (pF). ) to obtain a suitable frequency (for example, when the frequency is 230000Hz) as the input signal Vin, the measured value C2 of the capacitor 40 to be measured is 560.161 (pF), and the error value between the measured value C2 and the target value C1 is about 0.568%. By selecting a suitable frequency, the result of the measurement circuit 10 in detecting the capacitance to be measured 40 will be more accurate.

據此,經由上述實驗得知,不同規格的待測電容40皆能先透過相同規格的參考電容50連接量測電路10,並調變輸入訊號Vin而獲得合適的頻率後,再將合適頻率的輸入訊號應用在相同規格的待測電容40上,使量測電路10檢測出的各待測電容40的量測值C2皆能夠維持在預定的誤差值以下(例如誤差值小於1%),進而讓量測電路10檢測待測電容40的結果更為準確。 Accordingly, through the above experiments, it is known that the capacitors 40 to be measured of different specifications can be connected to the measurement circuit 10 through the reference capacitor 50 of the same specification, and the input signal Vin can be modulated to obtain a suitable frequency, and then the appropriate frequency can be obtained. The input signal is applied to the capacitors 40 under test of the same specification, so that the measurement value C2 of each capacitor under test 40 detected by the measurement circuit 10 can be maintained below a predetermined error value (for example, the error value is less than 1%), and then The result of detecting the capacitance to be measured 40 by the measurement circuit 10 is more accurate.

此外,當本發明的電容量測系統的準確度需要被調整時,使用者僅需調變交流電源的輸入訊號的頻率即可達成,相較於現有技術必須調整大量參數才能調整準確度的情形,本發明在使用上可具備高度方便性。 In addition, when the accuracy of the capacitance measurement system of the present invention needs to be adjusted, the user only needs to adjust the frequency of the input signal of the AC power supply, compared to the situation in the prior art where a large number of parameters must be adjusted to adjust the accuracy , the present invention can be highly convenient in use.
