微米光栅加速度计的加工与性能研究

介绍了一种以微米衍射光栅为敏感元件的微机电加速度计敏感头的加工和性能。硅质量块底部加工有铝反射膜,透明玻璃基底上制作有金微米光栅,中间为空气腔,经硅玻璃阳极键合,构成敏感头的核心敏感部件。光源透过透明基底,照射在光栅上,在反射场内会产生一系列衍射级次,且各级次衍射光强与外界加速度之间呈函数关系。完成了微米光栅加速度计敏感头的加工,搭建了实验测试平台,完成了加速度计的灵敏度以及静电驱动性能测试。为未来新型集成式微米光栅加速度计设计和加工提供参考。     

Micrograting Displacement Sensor with Integrated Electrostatic Actuation

A high-resolution micro-grating displacement sensor with diffraction-based and integrated electrostatic actuation is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The Ai reflecting membrane is fabricated at the bottom of a silicon moving part and the Au micro-gratings are patterned on a transparent substrate. This structure forms a phase sensitive diffraction grating, providing the displacement sensitivity of the micro-grating interferometer. It shows sensitivity adjustment and self-calibration capabilities with electrostatic actuation. Additional system components include a coherent light source, photodiodes, and required electronics. Experimental results show that the displacement sensor has a sensitivity of about 1.8 m V /nm and a resolution of less than 1 nm in the linear region. This displacement sensor is very promising in the fields requiring high sensitivity, broad dynamic range, and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
