Environmental sensor and manufacturing method thereof
First Claim
1. An environmental sensor comprising:
- a base material (1), wherein the upper end of the base material (1) is provided with at least one groove (1a); and
a sensitive film layer (3) on the base material (1), the sensitive film layer (3) comprises a fixed part (3b) fixed on the end surface of the base material (1) and a bending part (3a) extending into the groove (1a), the bending part (3a) and the side wall of the groove (1a) form a capacitor configured for signal detection;
wherein;
the bending part (3a), the fixed part (3b) and the groove (1a) form an airtight cavity, andthe sensitive film layer (3) further comprises a connecting part (3d) connected to two adjacent bending parts (3a), and the connecting part (3d) is suspended above the end surface of the base material (1).

Abstract
An environmental sensor and manufacturing method thereof. The environmental sensor comprises: a substrate comprising at least one recess disposed at an upper portion of the substrate; and a sensitive film layer disposed above the substrate, comprising a fixed portion fixed on an end surface of the substrate and a bent portion configured to extend inside the recess. The bent portion and a side wall of the recess form a capacitor configured to detect a signal. The bent portion, fixed portion, and the recess form a closed cavity. A conventional capacitive structure configured on a substrate surface is changed to a capacitive structure of the environmental sensor vertically extending into the inside of the substrate, increasing a depth of the recess, and in turn, increasing a sensing area between two polar plates of the capacitor, significantly shrinking a coverage area of the capacitor on the substrate, and satisfying a requirement of a modern compact electronic component.
