[technical field]
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of accelerometer, relate in particular to a kind of preparation method of three axis accelerometer.
[background technology]
Accelerometer, acceleration induction device, is a kind of electronic equipment that can measure acceleration.Acceleration induction device is mainly used in location sensitive, displacement induction or motion state induction etc.As; on mobile phone, use acceleration induction device; just can detect the laying state of mobile phone; keep flat or inclination etc.; according to state, start different programs to reach certain effect; for another example; may be used on notebook computer; survey the moving state of notebook, and according to these data, system can select to close hard disk intelligently still allows it continue operation; can farthest protect due to vibration like this; such as the working environment jolting, or the hard disk infringement that computer causes, the farthest data of protection the inside have been fallen because of carelessness.Another one use is exactly in the digital camera and video camera of current use, also has acceleration transducer, is used for detecting the vibration of hand when taking, and according to these vibrations, automatically regulates the focusing of camera.
Accelerometer mainly comprises twin-axis accelerometer and three axis accelerometer, and twin-axis accelerometer detects the accekeration of X-axis and Y direction, and three axis accelerometer detects the accekeration of X-axis, Y-axis and three directions of Z axis.Three axis accelerometer related to the present invention generally adopts polysilicon to do substrate or utilizes two silicon wafer bondings integrated, but the residual stress of polysilicon is higher, and polysilicon is thinner, does not utilize processing; Utilize two silicon wafers to generate each essential structure sheaf, and then be linked and integrate, the cost of this prescribing method is too high, is unfavorable for reducing production costs, and is difficult to realize user to the high-performance of product and requirement cheaply.
Therefore, be necessary to provide a kind of preparation method of new acceleration transducer.
