Description

Pressure sensor and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a flexible capacitive pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The pressure sensor is a device or apparatus for converting a sensed pressure signal into an electrical signal according to a certain rule and outputting the electrical signal, and generally comprises a pressure sensitive element and a signal processing unit. The pressure sensor is widely applied to industrial automatic control environments, relates to petroleum and petrochemical industry, aerospace industry, production automatic control, intelligent buildings, railway traffic, water conservancy and hydropower, electric power, military industry, machine tools and the like, and is particularly used for measuring and controlling pressure, height, acceleration, liquid flow, flow velocity, liquid level and pressure.
In 1945, smith discovered the piezoresistive effect of silicon and germanium, i.e., when mechanical forces were applied to a semiconductor material, the resistance would change significantly. The initial structure is to stick the strain resistance chip on the metal film, i.e. to convert the force signal into electric signal for measurement. With the development of material technology, micromachining technology and microelectronic technology, the structure of pressure sensors has shifted from the traditional design to the microstructured design, and has been developed greatly. The pressure sensors are widely applied to piezoresistive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors and the like, wherein the piezoresistive pressure sensors are most widely applied due to high compatibility between the preparation process and the industrial semiconductor process and simple preparation process. However, the piezoresistive pressure sensor has poor temperature characteristics, low sensitivity, large power consumption and undesirable effects in the application field with high requirements on reliability and precision. The capacitance type pressure sensor generally adopts a plate capacitance mode, a pressure-sensitive material film is used as a dielectric layer of the capacitor, and when the capacitance type pressure sensor is subjected to external force, the pressure-sensitive material film senses the external force to deform, so that the distance between two electrodes of the capacitor changes, and the capacitance changes.
In recent years, due to the rise of flexible electronics, flexible high polymer materials such as polydimethylsiloxane, polyimide, polyethylene and the like are widely used for preparing flexible capacitive sensors due to the advantages of low cost, good flexibility, good adhesion, low internal stress, simple preparation process, excellent dielectric property and the like.
In the prior art of a capacitive pressure sensor using a modified molecular material as a dielectric layer, the problems are mainly two-fold: 1) in order to improve the sensitivity of the sensor, the pressure-sensitive material is usually subjected to micro-structural treatment, but in the prior art, a mask is mainly prepared by photoetching and developing, and then a metal electrode is sputtered or evaporated to form a microarray or nano-array electrode sensor, the process has expensive equipment and complex preparation process, the flexibility of the electrode structure design is limited, the process is not beneficial to large-area preparation, the process has more parameters, the sensitivity of the electrode needs to be improved, Chinese patent application CN107219194A describes a method for preparing a polyelectrolyte compound with a patterned micro-nano structure with stress response by a thermal transfer method, the patterning process of the polyelectrolyte compound with the patterned micro-nano structure relates to the steps of firstly preparing a Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) patterned stamp in a patterned silicon substrate culture dish, then preparing the polyelectrolyte compound with the patterned micro-nano structure by thermal transfer by taking the PDMS stamp as a template, the preparation process has more parameters and complex process; 2) pressure-sensitive materials or dielectric layer materials are mostly formed by spin coating with a spin coater, for example, chinese patent application No. CN106098927A describes a sandwich type flexible capacitive pressure sensor, wherein a PDMS layer is prepared by a spin coating method, and the spin coating process is prone to waste of raw materials, which increases the cost.
