Unit 120, the problems such as judging the global shape of tumour depth within the organization, the capsule of tumour or entity property, tumour.
Specifically, when the abnormal structure to human body carries out pressing detection, tissue, which acts on, presses detection unit 130
The region at place, that is to say, that tissue acts on second and presses the top of detecting electrode 133 (it should be understood that second
Press detecting electrode 133 should between tissue mutually insulated).In this way, when the second elastic membrane 132 is by ambient pressure
When under effect, deformation is will produce, so as to influence to press detecting electrode 131 by first, the second elastic membrane 132 and second presses
Detecting electrode 133 is formed by the size of the capacitance of capacitance harden structure.Therefore, exception group can be determined by the capacitance variable
The lesion situation knitted, for example, the hardness of interior tumour, size, shape etc..
Specifically, when the abnormal structure to human body carries out ultrasound detection, tissue acts on ultrasonic detecting unit 120

In addition, due in the sensor 100 of the present embodiment structure, further includes and press corresponding to detection unit 130
Contact layer 140, and the contact layer 140 includes contact projection 141, and the contact projection 141 presses detection towards described second
Electrode layer 133.Therefore, when there is external force to act on the sensor 100, contact projection 141 can preferably transmit external force
To the second elastic membrane 132, so that the second elastic membrane 132 generates the deformation of bigger, and then the spirit of sensor 100 is promoted
Sensitivity.Meanwhile the sensor 100 of the structure, there is no the complexities and difficulty that increase production, have good implement
Property.
It is substituted it should be noted that ripe piezoelectric supersonic detection unit also can be used in above-mentioned ultrasonic detecting unit.
Preferably, as shown in Figure 1, the upper surface of the substrate 110 is also formed with the ultrasonic detecting unit 120 relatively
The first cavity 111 for answering and press corresponding second cavity of detection unit 130 112 with described.
Wherein, first elastic membrane 122 is covered on first cavity 111, and second elastic membrane 132 is covered in
On second cavity 112.
Above-mentioned contact projection 141 is corresponding with second cavity 112, and the contact projection 141 can be along described second
The deformation direction of elastic membrane 132 is moved, so that second elastic membrane 132 concaves towards second cavity, 112 inside or from institute
112 inside of the second cavity is stated to remove.
Specifically, the mode of vacuum bonding may be used in above-mentioned second elastic membrane 132 and the second cavity 112 is partially attached to
One.In this way, when bonding finishes, the second cavity 112 is in vacuum state, so cause the second elastic membrane 132 to second
112 direction of cavity is recessed, and leads to the sensitivity decrease of sensor 100, still, since the sensor 100 of the present embodiment structure is gone back
It is provided with above-mentioned contact projection 141, the contact projection 141 is corresponding with second cavity 112, the contact projection 141
It can be moved along the deformation direction of second elastic membrane 132, so that second elastic membrane 132 concaves towards second cavity
112 insides are removed from second cavity, 112 inside.Therefore, when there is external force to act on the sensor 100, contact is convex
Play 141 preferably can be transferred to the second elastic membrane 132 by external force, so that the second elastic membrane 132 generates bigger
Deformation, and then promote the sensitivity of sensor 100.
For traditional pressure sensor, since traditional pressure sensor stress area includes substrate
On chamber portion and substrate on non-chamber portion, since substrate is generally silicon materials, because its design feature leads to elastic system
Number is larger, its deformation is small under the action of outer plus-pressure, that is, causes sensor that the external force of certain deformation occurs greatly
There to be the non-chamber portion of substrate to undertake, and greatly reduce the susceptibility of pressure sensor.But the sensor of the present embodiment structure
100,112 corresponding region of the second cavity is provided with the second elastic membrane 132, therefore, if external force all act on this second
132 top of elastic membrane, the deformation bigger of second elastic membrane 132 equally under outer force effect, therefore caused capacitance change
It is bigger, and then the sensitivity of sensor can be improved.

132a corresponds to a second through-hole 133a.
Due at least partly falling in second cavity for orthographic projections of the first through hole 132a in second cavity 112
In 112.Therefore, first through hole 132a, the second through-hole 133a are interconnected with second cavity 112.
The sensor 100 of the present embodiment structure can make the second sky by first through hole 132a and the second through-hole 133a
Chamber 112 and extraneous unicom, eliminate the vacuum environment brought by bonding technology so that the second elastic membrane 132 is more preferable under natural conditions
Open and flat come.In addition, set first through hole 132a and the second through-hole 133a can make the second elastic membrane 132 certain
External force under preferably to 112 side of the second cavity move, and then make capacitance pole span change bigger.Secondly, first through hole 132a
With the second through-hole 133a on the periphery of the second cavity 112, in this way, under the effect of external force, the movement on periphery can be made small
In central area, and the electrode area occupied by first through hole 132a and the second through-hole 133a is smaller, therefore, this structure
Sensor 100 so that its sensitivity further increases.Finally, because there are the first through hole 132a and the second through-hole 133a,
Second, which presses detecting electrode layer 133, almost can integrally move to 112 side of the second cavity, as a result, 100 meeting of sensor
More there are the better linearity, testing result more accurate.
