Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors, in particular to an explosion field MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor.
Background
When the explosive explodes in a closed environment, the explosive generates two effects of pressure, namely shock wave pressure and quasi-static pressure. Wherein: the shock wave pressure signal belongs to a typical non-stationary random signal and is characterized by large peak value, quick abrupt change and short duration; the quasi-static pressure is mainly the pressure generated by the thermal motion of gas after the temperature is increased due to the heat released by explosion, and has low peak value and long acting time.
Because the piezoelectric pressure sensor has better dynamic characteristics and overload capacity, the piezoelectric pressure sensor is commonly used for testing the overpressure peak value of the shock wave at present, but the low-frequency characteristic, particularly the zero-frequency characteristic, is poor, and is not suitable for measuring the quasi-static pressure.
The piezoresistive pressure sensor has good dynamic characteristics and low-frequency characteristics, but the overload capacity of the piezoresistive pressure sensor is generally 2-3 times of the range, is far less than that of the piezoelectric pressure sensor with 10 times of the range, and the full-range output signal is only 100 mV. If the measurement of the overpressure peak value of the shock wave pressure is required to be met, the sensor is ensured not to be damaged, the sensitivity of the piezoresistive pressure sensor is required to be sacrificed to meet the requirement of the measuring range, the quasi-static pressure is generally one tenth of the overpressure peak value of the shock wave, and at the moment, if the measurement of the quasi-static pressure is aligned, a great test error is generated, so that the shock wave pressure and the quasi-static pressure cannot be tested at the same time.

Detailed Description
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms or methods herein are understood or implemented using established methods as recognized by one of ordinary skill in the relevant art.
Referring to the attached drawings, the explosion field MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor comprises two piezoresistive pressure sensors with different silicon strain film areas and a silicon cap;
the two piezoresistive pressure sensors respectively comprise a silicon strain film (4-3; 4-4), a plurality of piezoresistors 2-2, a metal lead 2-1 and a glass substrate 5, wherein the silicon strain film is a silicon film which is formed by etching the back surface of an SOI (silicon on insulator) silicon wafer and is provided with an island (4-1; 4-2) and a cavity on the back surface, the island is positioned in the cavity 6, the glass substrate is bonded with the back surface of the silicon wafer to seal the cavity, the piezoresistors and the metal lead form a Wheatstone bridge and are positioned on the front surface of the silicon strain film, and when the silicon strain film is pressed, the edge position of the film is stressed maximally, so the piezoresistors (2-2) are positioned on the edge of the silicon strain film and are parallel to the edge to ensure the maximal resistance change rate;
for the sake of clear description of the structural differences of the two piezoresistive pressure sensors, the term "first and second" is used herein before the corresponding feature or structural terms, on the basis of which the two piezoresistive pressure sensors are structurally different:
since the quasi-static pressure applied to the first silicon strained film 4-3 is much smaller than the shock wave pressure applied to the second silicon strained film 4-4, the area of the first silicon strained film is larger than that of the second silicon strained film; meanwhile, the first silicon strained film 4-3 and the second silicon strained film 4-4 have the same thickness for convenience of processing.
The first island 4-1 and the second island 4-2 have overload protection function, when the pressure applied to the silicon strain film is too large, the islands can contact with the glass substrate so as to avoid the excessive deformation of the sensitive membrane, and because the shock wave pressure applied to the second silicon strain film is far greater than the quasi-static pressure applied to the first silicon strain film, the cross section area of the first island 4-1 is larger than that of the second island 4-2 so as to ensure the firmness of the second silicon strain film, and the heights/thicknesses of the first island 4-1 and the second island 4-2 are the same;
the front surface of the first silicon strain film is bonded with a silicon cap 1-1, the silicon cap and the first strain film form a cavity, the first piezoresistors and the metal leads are positioned at the bottom of the cavity, at least one through hole 1-2 is formed in the silicon cap at the top of the cavity, two through holes 1-2 are formed in two sides of the top of the silicon cap and are respectively arranged along the outer edges of two sides of the first silicon strain film 4-3, the first silicon strain film is positioned between the two through holes, shock wave airflow can not directly act on the first silicon strain film, and the first silicon strain film can be protected.
When shock wave pressure acts on the sensor, after a shock wave pressure signal acting on the silicon cap 1-1 passes through the through hole 1-2 and the accommodating cavity 1-3, a high-frequency part with the frequency larger than f is filtered, so that only a low-frequency quasi-static pressure signal acts on the first silicon strain film 4-3, the first silicon strain film 4-3 deforms under the action of pressure, along with the strain of the diaphragm, the resistivity of the piezoresistor 2-2 arranged on the first silicon strain film 4-3 changes, the resistance value changes, and finally the output of the Wheatstone bridge changes; the working principle of the second silicon strain film 4-4 is similar to that of the first silicon strain film 4-3, the shock wave pressure signal directly acts on the second silicon strain film 4-4, and finally the magnitude of the external shock wave pressure can be determined by measuring the output of the Steton bridge;
after the shock wave pressure passes through the through hole 1-2, due to the lumen effect, the shock wave pressure signal with high frequency characteristics is filtered, and the quasi-static pressure signal with low frequency is applied to the first silicon strained membrane 4-3. In the preferred scheme, the volume of the through hole 1-2 and the volume of the accommodating cavity 1-3 are reasonably designed to selectively filter and remove the blast field shock wave pressure signal larger than f, wherein f satisfies the formula (1);
wherein c is the sound velocity, m/s; n is the number of the through holes, and n is more than or equal to 1; r is the radius of the through hole, m; a is the bottom area in the cavity, m 2 ；H 1 Is the axial length of the through hole, m; h 2 M is the height from the bottom to the top in the cavity.
In other schemes, the SOI silicon wafer of the piezoresistive pressure sensor in two of the above schemes is of an integral structure, and the two glass substrates are of an integral structure.
In a specific embodiment, the shape of the silicon strained film and the shape of the island may be selected according to the requirement, and are usually square or circular and cylindrical or square-column.
In a specific scheme, the number of the piezoresistors is multiple, and is generally 1-5.
