Embodiment
A kind of resonant mode MEMS micro-cantilever sensor for self-testing self-oscillation partly is made up of MEMS resonance structure and corresponding closed-loop self-maintained circuit.Described MEMS resonance structure is to have only the micro-cantilever of a cover self-sustained oscillation from detection architecture.Described micro-cantilever is the sensitive structure that the sensor senses external environment condition changes, and function is the measurand or the chemistry amount of smoothing out with the fingers in the environment, such as gas molecule, environment damping, acceleration etc., is converted into frequency variation.Described closed loop self-maintained circuit is characterized in that comprising: differential mode corrective network, filtering circuit, amplifying circuit, phase-shift circuit and driving amplitude limiter circuit.
During described closed loop self-sustained oscillation loop works, after the total system power supply, can there be some noise signals in the environment,, can make that all system has entered resonant condition soon for some disturbances of self-excitation network.Frequency signal can be drawn in circuit back at amplifier section, as output.Obtained the natural frequency of micro-cantilever thus.Physichemical quantity in environment changes, adsorbed by sensitive material such as tested gas molecule, thus the quality of change semi-girder; Environment liquid viscosity influence damping state; Acceleration produces STRESS VARIATION or the like, can both change the natural frequency of semi-girder.Frequency selection network is one circuit to the resonance frequency sensitivity.Adopt difference method, when system is in the disresonance state, be output as zero signal.When semi-girder has entered resonant condition, make impedance of difference channel reduce, therefore exported the natural frequency signal.The frequency-selecting effect of frequency selection network is limited, mainly is a narrow frequency band that comprises resonance frequency is carried out frequency-selecting, also needs an independent active filter circuit.Amplify for this signal then.Frequency signal in the circuit is owing to the effect of Resistor-Capacitor Unit, and phase place changes certainly, therefore will increase phase-shift circuit, guarantee that feedback signal is consistent with the natural frequency phase place, feed back to oscillation network again, the signal intensity in the system requires at 100mV, therefore increases an amplitude limit link.Semi-girder vibrates under natural frequency always like this, has realized self-sustained oscillation, and the frequency signal that obtains has simultaneously directly reacted the variation of environment.
In Fig. 2, have 4 parts.
Part 1 is a frequency selection network, comprises resonance mechanism and compensating circuit.
The resonance mechanism that adopts the MEMS micro-processing technology to make has many application as mentioned before.Semi-girder mechanism shown in Figure 3 is exactly a resonance mechanism typical and that be widely used.The present invention is that example is implemented with the cantilever beam structure resonator just.
Its frequency and structural relation are:
λ is a constant in the formula, and irrelevant with size, E is the Young modulus of material, and I is an interface inertia square, and ρ is a density of material, and A is a cross-sectional area, and L is a length.
5 is silicon base among Fig. 3, the 6th, the semi-girder that on silicon base, uses MEMS technology to make, the 8th, at micro-cantilever one end depositing zinc oxide piezoelectric layer, it has electrode power supply up and down respectively, the 10th, on semi-girder coating or the sensitive material of deposition.Detect for sulfur dioxide gas, select coating triethanolamine (TEA) for use.
Micro-cantilever can also adopt electrostatic means to drive, and promptly deposits bottom electrode on silicon base earlier, and a micro-cantilever that uses MEMS technology to make then deposits top electrode again at micro-cantilever, and this cantilever beam structure vibrates under the effect of electrostatic force.
The MEMS structure all has an equivalent-circuit model.Small-signal equivalent circuit model such as Fig. 4 of semi-girder.Wherein, system damping comprises that the fluid damping effect equivalence in self damping and gas, the liquid environment is the resistance R 1 among Fig. 4; Semi-girder is a mechanical elastic body, and this characteristic equivalence is the capacitor C 1 among Fig. 4; Semi-girder quality momentum change in the vibrations process is identical with the energy storage principle of inductance in the circuit, estimates the inductance L 1 of smoothing out with the fingers among the equivalent Fig. 4 of being of semi-girder mass property.These three kinds of devices are that all structures comprise electrode on the semi-girder, sensitive material, and the mechanical property of the common semi-girder that constitutes such as beam self shape and material parameter is for series system connects.Semi-girder of the present invention drives and adopts piezoelectric or electrostatic attraction, and these two kinds of methods all are typical capacity cells, and equivalence is a capacitor C 0 in Fig. 4, is relation in parallel with R1, C1, the L1 of semi-girder self physical construction characteristic.Two end points of equivalent electrical circuit are exactly two electrodes of piezoelectric, are exactly two electrodes of electrostatic structure for static driven.Whole semi-girder is formed into of Fig. 6 difference compensating circuit, and signal is input in the operational amplifier of difference compensating circuit.The characteristics of this circuit are circuit impedance C0 very greatly under the disresonance state, and near resonance frequency, it is very little that circuit impedance becomes, the impedance characteristic of this semi-girder equivalent model such as Fig. 5.
For the analysis of Fig. 4 equivalent electrical circuit, as biochemical sensor, adsorbed this gas such as the sensitive material of gas molecule after, changed the sole mass of semi-girder, both changed the L1 in the semi-girder equivalent-circuit model, thereby changed frequency.Detected gas is just used gas sensitive, such as the triethanolamine (TEA) to the sulphuric dioxide sensitivity; Detect the DNA biomolecule, sensitive material is a specific DNA chain etc.Detecting as the damping of fluid density environment, is the R1 that changes among Fig. 4, and design strengthens the area on the semi-girder direction of vibration, makes that the fluid damping effect is more remarkable.The variation of acceleration is that semi-girder has been increased a new acting force, for resonator system a combined action is arranged, and also can influence its resonant condition.
Because the size of little girder system system is little, impedance characteristic rises and falls very little, and system signal is faint, is subjected to interference such as spatial noise and mains fluctuations simultaneously easily, therefore adopts the difference compensating circuit, can also carry out some electromagnetic screens to Circuits System.Difference compensating circuit principle such as Fig. 6, Q1 and Q2 insert micro girder construction and corresponding compensation resistance-capacitance circuit respectively, require compensating circuit part identical with electrical specification under little beam disresonance state.Frequency selection network output u

InThe pass is:
Z wherein
Compensating circuitBe the impedance of compensating circuit, Z
Piezoelectric beamBe the impedance of micro-cantilever equivalence, Z
AIt is the impedance of capacitor C 2A and resistance R 3A shunt circuit.
Shielding mode is, 1 puts into electro-magnetic shielding cover in the micro girder construction encapsulation with compensating circuit.2 have designed magnetic bead and electric capacity carries out filtering on circuit enters the part lead-in wire of electromagnetic screen.
Just constituted frequency selection network by resonance mechanism and compensating circuit through difference.Physical circuit example such as Fig. 7, what select for use is the OP37 operational amplifier.Wherein C0 is the equivalent capacity under the resonator system disresonance state.A and B are symmetrical structure, are bias.Output signal is to the filtering circuit of part 2.
Part 2 is the design of filtering circuit.Because frequency selection network only to being that the frequency range at center has the frequency-selecting effect with the resonance frequency, needs design filtering circuit separately for other frequency ranges.The kind of filtering circuit is a lot, and function is also different.Because the signal of semi-girder is very weak, therefore select active filter circuit for use.Because little resonator system generally all is applied in single order resonance frequency place, mainly need to suppress high-frequency signal again, can adopt low-pass filter circuit.If the frequency band variation range is very narrow, do not need to consider the smooth problem of amplitude frequency curve in the passband, therefore directly adopt the second-order filter circuit of Q value very big (Q=3), characteristic spike is in little Liang Xiezhenpinshuaichu and both can.The physical circuit method for designing is a lot, and Fig. 8 is the filtering circuit example.From the frequency selection network input, export to phase-shift circuit.Regulate enlargement factor for convenience and can design amplifying circuit separately.
The 3rd part phase-shift circuit is the important step of retroactive effect, and different circuit has different methods for designing, and the effect of phase-shift circuit is exactly to guarantee that the signal of feedback has identical phase place with initial oscillator signal, reaches the self-sustained oscillation effect.The phase-shift circuit design in order to play the effect of adjusting, can allow system produce the phase shift of about 90 degree under resonant condition, and the adjusting surplus is all arranged so up and down.Practical circuit such as Fig. 9 that the present invention adopts.
The 4th part driving circuit has adopted input clamper amplifier (ICA, Input Clamp Amplifier), has used the AD8036 operational amplifier.The operating voltage of general MEMS resonator is very little, and especially in resonant condition, for guaranteeing favorable linearity character, the amplitude of expectation driving voltage is controlled at about 100mV.Driving circuit figure as shown in figure 10.The latter half not with the aid of pictures, circuit are a homophase follower basically.The latter half of figure is actually a resistance pressure-dividing network, and the 1.2V voltage dividing potential drop of smoothing out with the fingers benchmark obtains VinDC, VL, three voltages of VH.VinDC has determined the direct current biasing amount of signal.Input signal passes through to be biased the DC voltage amount of VinDC after the capacitance.VL and VH have determined the lower limit and the upper limit of output voltage signal respectively.Different resonators can carry out different settings, and the amplitude of final driving voltage is limited in the 100mV.
After phase compensation and driving, obtain be in the 100mV with the semi-girder vibration with frequently, synchronous signal.Smooth out with the fingers it and be input in the frequency selection network, realize closed loop, form self-sustained oscillation,, also just realized self-checking detection process simultaneously for frequency signal because the frequency selection network of first has been arranged.
Use the present invention, adopt triethanolamine (TEA), can detect,, test attached to the semi-girder surface by method with chloroform dilution coating to sulfur dioxide gas as sensitive material.When sulfur dioxide concentration reaches 0.14g/m3 in the environment (500ppm), the about 1300Hz of micro-cantilever resonator natural frequency skew.Frequency stability is 0.15Hz, and therefore the least concentration measurement that can measure is better than 0.0165mg/m3 (57.7ppb), is considering nonlinear interaction, and its least concentration is measured can reach 0.0029mg/m3 (10ppb).This index has been better than 1 grade standard of National Environmental index content of sulfur dioxide.And it is conveniently many compared with the spectrophotometric method in the standard.Compare with other kind semi-girder gas sensor, can reach the minimum response concentration of its 10ppb, and use the semi-girder of the method that detects certainly with self-sustained oscillation, manufacturing process will be simplified general technology.
