Description

微机械磁场传感器及其应用  Micromechanical magnetic field sensor and its application
技术领域 Technical field
本发明属于微机械磁场传感器设计与检测技术领域, 涉及一种磁场传感器, 特别是涉及 一种工作在扩张模态下微机械磁场传感器及其电路结构。 背景技术  The invention belongs to the technical field of design and detection of micro-mechanical magnetic field sensors, and relates to a magnetic field sensor, in particular to a micro-mechanical magnetic field sensor and its circuit structure working in an expanded mode. Background technique
通过感应地球磁场辨识方向或为舰船导航, 特别是在航海、 航天、 自动化控制、 军事以 及消费电子领域, 磁场传感器的应用越来越广泛。 磁场传感技术向着小型化、 低功耗、 高灵 敏度、 高分辨率以及和电子设备兼容的方向发展。 根据工作原理磁场传感器可以分为: 超导 量子干涉磁场传感器、 霍尔磁场传感器、 磁通门磁力计、 巨磁阻磁场传感器以及感应线圈磁 场传感器。  By sensing the direction of the Earth's magnetic field or navigating the ship, especially in the fields of navigation, aerospace, automation, military, and consumer electronics, magnetic field sensors are becoming more widely used. Magnetic field sensing technology is moving toward miniaturization, low power consumption, high sensitivity, high resolution, and compatibility with electronic devices. According to the working principle, the magnetic field sensor can be divided into: superconducting quantum interference magnetic field sensor, Hall magnetic field sensor, fluxgate magnetometer, giant magnetoresistive magnetic field sensor and induction coil magnetic field sensor.
超导量子干涉磁场传感器在所有磁场传感器中灵敏度最高, 但其结构复杂、 体积庞大、 价格昂贵且需要工作在低温环境下; 霍尔磁场传感器功耗低、 尺寸小, 可以测量静态或者动 态磁场, 但其灵敏度低, 噪声水平及静态偏移较大; 磁通门磁力计用来测量静态或者缓慢变 化的磁场, 分辨率高、 功耗小, 但体积较大、 频率响应较低; 巨磁阻磁场传感器灵敏度高, 但是不能测量大的磁场; 感应线圈磁场传感器是基于法拉第电磁感应定律来探测变化的磁 场, 它的功耗低, 结构简单 (A. L. Herrera-May, L. A. Aguilera-Corts, P. J. Garca-Ramrez and E. Manjarrez, "Resonant magnetic field sensors based on MEMS technology", Sensors, vol. 9, no. 10, pp.7785-7813, 2009. ) 。  The superconducting quantum interference magnetic field sensor has the highest sensitivity among all magnetic field sensors, but its structure is complex, bulky, expensive, and needs to work in a low temperature environment. The Hall magnetic field sensor has low power consumption and small size, and can measure static or dynamic magnetic fields. However, its sensitivity is low, noise level and static offset are large; fluxgate magnetometer is used to measure static or slowly changing magnetic field, high resolution, low power consumption, but large volume and low frequency response; giant magnetoresistance Magnetic field sensors are highly sensitive, but cannot measure large magnetic fields. Inductive coil magnetic field sensors are based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to detect changing magnetic fields. They have low power consumption and simple structure (AL Herrera-May, LA Aguilera-Corts, PJ Garca- Ramrez and E. Manjarrez, "Resonant magnetic field sensors based on MEMS technology", Sensors, vol. 9, no. 10, pp. 7875-7813, 2009. ).
利用 MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical system, 微电子机械系统) 技术制作的感应线圈 磁场传感器结构简单, 易于加工, 与 CMOS IC (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Integrated Circuit, 互补金属氧化物半导体集成电路) 工艺相兼容。 MEMS 磁场传感器具有 体积小、 重量轻、 功耗低、 成本低、 可靠性高、 性能优异及功能强大等传统传感器无法比拟 的优点。 MEMS 技术的发展, 使芯片上的微结构加工成为可能, 同时降低了微机电系统的 成本, 而且还可以完成许多大尺寸机电系统所不能完成的任务, 这样促进了磁场传感器的发 展。  Induction coils fabricated by MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) technology Magnetic field sensors are simple in structure and easy to process, and are compatible with CMOS IC (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Integrated Circuit) technology. MEMS magnetic field sensors have the advantages of small size, light weight, low power consumption, low cost, high reliability, excellent performance and powerful functions that are unmatched by traditional sensors. The development of MEMS technology has enabled micro-structure processing on the chip, while reducing the cost of MEMS, and can also accomplish tasks that many large-scale electromechanical systems cannot perform, thus promoting the development of magnetic field sensors.
目前, MEMS 结构的磁场传感器主要工作原理是: 通有电流的感应线圈受到磁场作用 的洛伦兹力后, 引起支撑线圈的结构发生弯曲或者扭转, 通过电容检测或者压阻检测、 光学 检测等方法测量出支撑线圈结构的扭转变形量或者弯曲变形量, 就可以检测出磁场信号的大 小。 这些器件一般是将感应线圈制作在悬臂梁、 U型梁或者可以弯曲或扭转的平板上。 器件 工作时, 将器件放置在磁场中, 并在感应线圈上通入电流。 感应线圈就会受到洛伦兹力, 洛 伦兹力会引起悬臂梁、 U型梁或者平板的弯曲或者扭转。 通过测量悬臂梁、 U型梁或者平板 弯曲量或者扭转量的大小, 就可以检测出磁场的大小。 但是, 由于这些器件工作都需要给感 应线圈通入电流, 因而他们的功耗比较大; 另外这些器件一般工作在弯曲模态或者扭转模 态, 因而它们工作的谐振频率较低。 At present, the main working principle of the magnetic field sensor of the MEMS structure is: After the Lorentz force of the induction coil of the current is subjected to the magnetic field, the structure of the support coil is bent or twisted, and the method of capacitance detection or piezoresistive detection, optical detection, etc. The magnitude of the magnetic field signal can be detected by measuring the amount of torsional deformation or the amount of bending deformation of the supporting coil structure. These devices typically have inductive coils fabricated on cantilever beams, U-beams, or plates that can be bent or twisted. Device When working, place the device in a magnetic field and apply current to the induction coil. The induction coil is subjected to Lorentz forces, which cause bending or torsion of the cantilever beam, U-beam or plate. By measuring the amount of bending or the amount of twist of the cantilever beam, U-beam or plate, the magnitude of the magnetic field can be detected. However, since these devices all need to pass current to the induction coil, their power consumption is relatively large; in addition, these devices generally operate in a bending mode or a torsional mode, and thus they operate at a lower resonance frequency.
进一步, 为了降低功耗和结构复杂度, MEMS 结构的磁场传感器, 还可以采用工作在 扩张模态 (为体模态的一种情况) 下的谐振振子结构上加载金属线圈来实现。 所述谐振振子 可以是方形板、 圆环板或者圆形板结构。 图 la至图 lc是工作在体模态的几种谐振振子结构 的模态示意图, 其中, 虚线表示谐振振子结构在工作 (谐振状态) 时外部轮廓的形变趋势, 图 la为工作在 Square Extensional (SE)模态的方形板谐振振子结构, 图 lb为工作在 Radial Extensional (RE)模态的圆形板谐振振子结构, 图 lc为工作在 Radial Extensional (RE)模态的 圆环板谐振振子结构。 但是该磁场传感器中的微机械磁场传感器是静电驱动的器件, 由于 输入信号与输出端口之间存在寄生电容, 因此测量的输出信号中包含有由容性耦合引起的容 性耦合信号。 现有技术中, 一般通过减小输入信号与输出端口之间寄生电容, 从而减小容性 耦合的影响。 然而, 这种方法只能减小容性耦合信号, 并不能完全消除它, 换言之, 在输出 信号中仍然存在容性耦合信号, 无法得到单纯的磁场输出信号。 发明内容  Further, in order to reduce power consumption and structural complexity, the MEMS-structured magnetic field sensor can also be implemented by loading a metal coil on a resonant oscillator structure operating in an expanded mode (in the case of a bulk mode). The resonant resonator may be a square plate, a circular plate or a circular plate structure. Figures la to lc are modal diagrams of several resonant oscillator structures operating in a bulk mode, where the dashed line indicates the deformation trend of the outer contour of the resonant oscillator structure during operation (resonant state), and Figure la is for operation at the Square Extensional ( SE) modal square plate resonant oscillator structure, Figure lb is a circular plate resonant oscillator structure operating in the Radial Extensional (RE) mode, and Figure lc is a circular plate resonant oscillator structure operating in the Radial Extensional (RE) mode . However, the micromechanical magnetic field sensor in the magnetic field sensor is an electrostatically driven device. Due to the parasitic capacitance between the input signal and the output port, the measured output signal contains a capacitive coupling signal caused by capacitive coupling. In the prior art, the effect of capacitive coupling is generally reduced by reducing the parasitic capacitance between the input signal and the output port. However, this method can only reduce the capacitive coupling signal and cannot completely eliminate it. In other words, there is still a capacitive coupling signal in the output signal, and a simple magnetic field output signal cannot be obtained. Summary of the invention
鉴于以上所述现有技术的缺点, 本发明的目的在于提供一种微机械磁场传感器, 用于解 决现有技术中微机械磁场传感器的输出信号无法消除容性耦合信号影响的问题。  In view of the above-discussed shortcomings of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a micromechanical magnetic field sensor for solving the problem that the output signal of the micromechanical magnetic field sensor of the prior art cannot eliminate the influence of the capacitive coupling signal.

Because the differential mode output is used, two capacitive coupling signals are formed between the two differential output signals and the input driving signal, and since the two capacitive coupling signals are equal in magnitude, the differential mode output eliminates the output signal. The capacitive coupling signal, thereby obtaining a simple magnetic field output signal, realizes the detection of a simple magnetic field output signal of the micromechanical magnetic field sensor;

4) 本发明还可以通过金属支撑柱使金属线圈悬于所述谐振振子之上, 从而减小在高频 情况下谐振振子结构与金属线圈之间信号相互串扰的问题;  4) The present invention can also suspend the metal coil over the resonant oscillator through the metal support column, thereby reducing the problem of crosstalk between the resonant oscillator structure and the metal coil at high frequencies;
