Problems solved by technology

The problems in the existing technology are: 1) The acquisition circuit and the processing circuit are mixed on the same wafer, and the digital and analog circuits will interfere with each other and the noise is large, which is difficult to control, resulting in low performance of the sensor; 2) The acquisition circuit and the processing circuit Mixing on the same wafer will make the size of the electronic component wafer too large, resulting in too large chip area, which is not conducive to application in small-volume scenarios such as hand-held and wearable; 3) The acquisition circuit (analog circuit) can be integrated at the micron level circuit production process, while the processing circuit (digital circuit) needs to adopt a nanoscale integrated circuit production process with higher cost. The existing technology integrates the acquisition circuit and the processing circuit on the electronic component wafer, in order to reduce the cost of the digital circuit. process, the entire electronic component wafer needs to adopt a more costly nanoscale production process, which ultimately leads to high cost of MEMS sensors
In short, the existing technical solutions seriously restrict the development of MEMS sensors in the direction of further intelligence, small size, high index, high performance and low cost.
