Abstract

The invention relates to a micro acoustic sensor based on a diffraction grating structure. The micro acoustic sensor comprises a MEMS chip, a VCSEL, a PD and a substrate, wherein the MEMS chip comprises a diffraction grating and a membrane mirror; the membrane mirror is located above the diffraction grating; an upper cavity is formed between the membrane mirror and the diffraction grating; and a lower cavity is formed between the diffraction grating and the substrate. The micro acoustic sensor, based on an optical principle, improves a capacitive sensor structure, optimizes the size and the structure of the diffraction grating, adjusts the distance between the diffraction grating and a thin film sensor, converts an acoustic signal into a light intensity change signal, and further convertsthe light intensity change signal into an electric signal to be output by an photoelectric detector. The diffraction grating reduces the noise of the structure. The optical principle improves the sensitivity of the sensor, solves the low sensitivity and large noise of a current MEMS acoustic sensor, and has the advantages of flexible structure design and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micro-acoustic sensor based on a diffraction grating structure, belonging to the technical field of micro-acoustic sensors. Background technique [0002] An acoustic sensor is an electronic device that converts sound vibration signals into electrical signals. The development of modern measurement technology has higher and higher requirements for parameters such as sensor size, receiving sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio. At present, the mainstream miniature acoustic sensors have two solutions: MEMS piezoelectric sensors and MEMS capacitive sensors. [0003] The MEMS piezoelectric sensor mainly uses the vibration signal to deform the piezoelectric transducer, causing the redistribution of charges on the two poles of the transducer, and then converting it into an electrical signal output. Piezoelectric sensors have disadvantages such as poor anti-interference ability, small output energy, poor sensing frequency character...
