参照图1所示,根据本公开的一个实施例,提供了一种气压传感器芯片。所述气压传感器芯片包括两个第一电容101及两个第二电容102;两个所述第一电容101中的一者与两个所述第二电容102中的一者串联组成第一支路,两个所述第一电容101中的另一者与两个所述第二电容102中的另一者串联组成第二支路,所述第一支路与所述第二支路并联;所述第一电容101被配置为容值可在外界气压的作用下增大;所述第二电容102被配置为容值可在外界气压的作用下减小。进一步地,所述第一支路连接有第一输出端(Out_P),所述第二支路连接有第二输出端(Out_N)。Referring to FIG. 1 , according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air pressure sensor chip is provided. The air pressure sensor chip includes two first capacitors 101 and two second capacitors 102; one of the two first capacitors 101 and one of the two second capacitors 102 are connected in series to form a first branch circuit, the other of the two first capacitors 101 is connected in series with the other of the two second capacitors 102 to form a second branch, and the first branch is connected in parallel with the second branch ; The first capacitor 101 is configured so that the capacitance value can be increased under the action of the external air pressure; the second capacitor 102 is configured so that the capacitance value can be reduced under the action of the external air pressure. Further, the first branch is connected with a first output terminal (Out_P), and the second branch is connected with a second output terminal (Out_N).
在本申请实施例提供的气压传感器芯片中,一共采用了四个电容,即两个第一电容101和两个第二电容102。其中,第一电容101的容值会在外界气压的作用下增大,而第二电容102的容值会在外界气压的作用下减小。这样第一输出端(Out_P)的输出结果综合了第一电容101的容值变化以及第二电容102的容值变化,同样第二输出端(Out_N)的输出结果也综合了第一电容101的容值变化以及第二电容102的容值变化。因此该气压传感器芯片的输出灵敏度更高。进一步具体地,在该气压传感器芯片中,四个电容形成了一个惠斯通电容全桥结构,在交变激励的作用下,外界气压可转换为电容全桥的差分输出,可有效抑制干扰,测量更加精确。In the air pressure sensor chip provided by the embodiment of the present application, a total of four capacitors are used, namely, two first capacitors 101 and two second capacitors 102 . The capacitance of the first capacitor 101 increases under the action of the external air pressure, while the capacitance of the second capacitor 102 decreases under the action of the outside air pressure. In this way, the output result of the first output terminal (Out_P) integrates the change of the capacitance value of the first capacitor 101 and the change of the capacitance value of the second capacitor 102 . Similarly, the output result of the second output terminal (Out_N) also integrates the change of the capacitance value of the first capacitor 101 . The capacitance value changes and the capacitance value of the second capacitor 102 changes. Therefore, the output sensitivity of the air pressure sensor chip is higher. More specifically, in the air pressure sensor chip, four capacitors form a Wheatstone capacitor full bridge structure. Under the action of alternating excitation, the external air pressure can be converted into the differential output of the capacitor full bridge, which can effectively suppress interference. Measurements are more precise.
参照图2所示,在一个实施例中,所述第一电容101包括相对设置的 第一电极1011和第二电极1012,所述第二电极1012朝向外界气压设置,所述第一电极1011位于所述第二电极1012的远离外界气压的一侧,所述第一电极1011与所述第二电极1012之间形成有第一真空腔1013,所述第二电极1012可在外界气压的作用下靠近所述第一电极1011以使所述第一电极1011与所述第二电极1012之间的间距减小。Referring to FIG. 2 , in one embodiment, the first capacitor 101 includes a first electrode 1011 and a second electrode 1012 arranged opposite to each other, the second electrode 1012 is arranged facing the outside air pressure, and the first electrode 1011 is located at A first vacuum chamber 1013 is formed between the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012 on the side of the second electrode 1012 away from the outside air pressure. The second electrode 1012 can be under the action of the outside air pressure. Close to the first electrode 1011 to reduce the distance between the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012 .
在该具体的例子中,相对设置的第一电极1011与第二电极1012组成了一个平行板电容器,也就是说,当没有外界气压作用时,第一电极1011和第二电极1012是相互平行设置的。由于第一电极1011和第二电极1012之间形成有第一真空腔1013,当外界气压作用于第二电极1012时,外界气压与第一真空腔1013内存在气压差,第二电极1012在外界气压的压力作用下发生形变并靠近第一电极1011,使得第一电极1011与第二电极1012之间的间距d1变小,从而引起第一电容101的容值增大。可以理解的是,当外界气压增大时,第一电极1011与第二电极1012之间的间距d1变小的幅度增大,从而引起第一电容101的容值增大的幅度变大;而当外界气压减小时,第一电极1011与第二电极1012之间的间距d1变小的幅度减小,从而引起第一电容101的容值增大的幅度变小。In this specific example, the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012 arranged opposite to each other form a parallel plate capacitor, that is to say, when there is no external air pressure, the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012 are arranged parallel to each other of. Since the first vacuum chamber 1013 is formed between the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012, when the external air pressure acts on the second electrode 1012, there is a pressure difference between the external air pressure and the first vacuum chamber 1013, and the second electrode 1012 is outside Under the action of the pressure of air pressure, it deforms and approaches the first electrode 1011 , so that the distance d1 between the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012 becomes smaller, thereby causing the capacitance of the first capacitor 101 to increase. It can be understood that when the external air pressure increases, the distance d1 between the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012 becomes smaller and the amplitude increases, thereby causing the capacitance value of the first capacitor 101 to increase in amplitude; and When the outside air pressure decreases, the distance d1 between the first electrode 1011 and the second electrode 1012 becomes smaller and the amplitude decreases, thereby causing the amplitude of the increase in the capacitance value of the first capacitor 101 to decrease.
参照图3所示,在一个实施例中,所述第二电容102包括相对设置的第三电极1021和第四电极1022,所述第四电极1022朝向外界气压设置,所述第三电极1021位于所述第四电极1022的远离外界气压的一侧,所述第二电容102在所述第三电极1021的背离所述第四电极1022的侧部形成有第二真空腔1023,所述第四电极1022开设有透气通孔10221,外界气压可经由所述透气通孔10221作用于所述第三电极1021,且所述第三电极1021可在外界气压的作用下远离所述第四电极1022以使所述第三电极1021与所述第四电极1022之间的间距增大。Referring to FIG. 3 , in one embodiment, the second capacitor 102 includes a third electrode 1021 and a fourth electrode 1022 disposed opposite to each other, the fourth electrode 1022 is disposed facing the outside air pressure, and the third electrode 1021 is located at On the side of the fourth electrode 1022 away from the outside air pressure, the second capacitor 102 is formed with a second vacuum chamber 1023 on the side of the third electrode 1021 away from the fourth electrode 1022 . The electrode 1022 is provided with a ventilation through hole 10221, the external air pressure can act on the third electrode 1021 through the ventilation through hole 10221, and the third electrode 1021 can be away from the fourth electrode 1022 under the action of the external air pressure to The distance between the third electrode 1021 and the fourth electrode 1022 is increased.
在该具体的例子中,相对设置的第三电极1021与第四电极1022组成了一个平行板电容器,也就是说,当没有外界气压作用时,第三电极1021和第四电极1022是相互平行设置的。由于所述第二电容102在第三电极1021的背离第四电极1022的侧部形成有第二真空腔1023,且第四电极1022开设有透气通孔10221,外界气压可经由透气通孔10221作用于第三电极 1021,当外界气压作用于第三电极1021时,外界气压与第二真空腔1023存在气压差,第三电极1021在外界气压的压力作用下发生形变并远离第四电极1022,使得第三电极1021与第四电极1022之间的间距d2变大,从而引起第二电容102的容值减小。可以理解的是,当外界气压增大时,第三电极1021与第四电极1022之间的间距d2变大的幅度增大,从而引起第二电容102的容值减小的幅度变大;而当外界气压减小时,第三电极1021与第四电极1022之间的间距d2变大的幅度减小,从而引起第二电容102的容值减小的幅度变小。In this specific example, the third electrode 1021 and the fourth electrode 1022 arranged opposite to each other form a parallel plate capacitor, that is to say, when there is no external air pressure, the third electrode 1021 and the fourth electrode 1022 are arranged parallel to each other of. Since the second capacitor 102 is formed with a second vacuum chamber 1023 on the side of the third electrode 1021 away from the fourth electrode 1022, and the fourth electrode 1022 is provided with a ventilation through hole 10221, the external air pressure can act through the ventilation through hole 10221 In the third electrode 1021, when the external air pressure acts on the third electrode 1021, there is a pressure difference between the external air pressure and the second vacuum chamber 1023, and the third electrode 1021 is deformed under the pressure of the external air pressure and moves away from the fourth electrode 1022, so that The distance d2 between the third electrode 1021 and the fourth electrode 1022 increases, thereby causing the capacitance value of the second capacitor 102 to decrease. It can be understood that when the external air pressure increases, the distance d2 between the third electrode 1021 and the fourth electrode 1022 becomes larger, thereby causing the decrease in the capacitance value of the second capacitor 102 to become larger; and When the outside air pressure decreases, the magnitude of the increase in the distance d2 between the third electrode 1021 and the fourth electrode 1022 decreases, thereby causing the magnitude of the decrease in the capacitance value of the second capacitor 102 to decrease.
