Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. "Sandwich" structure, the quality block can be made very large in both thickness and area, so the detection capacitor has a large area and low noise, which can meet the requirements of high-precision measurement, but it is generally prepared by wet corrosion processing method, Wet etching control accuracy is poor and additional chip area is required to realize 54.5° inclined groove (54.5° is the angle required to reach the crystal plane). In addition, double-sided alignment photolithography and etching are required, and the process is relatively complicated
[0004] 2. The "comb tooth" structure generally uses dry etching to obtain a fast etching rate and vertical side walls, with high dimensional control accuracy and a small chip structure area. Limits, the thickness of the mass block is small, the area of ​​the detection capacitor is small, the noise is large, and the measurement accuracy is low
If the mass block is increased by increasing the area, and the detection capacitance is increased by increasing the length of the comb teeth, on the one hand, the number of devices on the entire silicon wafer is reduced, and on the other hand, the symmetry of the device is reduced due to the warpage of the silicon wafer. It is difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision measurement
[0005] It can be seen from the above that the micro-accelerometer with sandwich structure can meet the requirements of high-precision measurement, but it needs to improve the dimensional control accuracy and reduce the complexity of the process; the comb-tooth micro-accelerometer has good processability, but it needs to further increase the quality block and detection Capacitance to improve measurement accuracy
