手指觸摸第一金屬層1211後,第一金屬層1211與接地端GND產生Cfinger,並且第一金屬層1211與襯底層1214之間還會形成第二寄生電容Cpex,從而第一金屬層1211到襯底層(GND)的總寄生電容Ctop=C1+C2,表示為其中C1為第一寄生電容Cfinger,C2為第二寄生電容Cpex。這樣從第一金屬層1211l感測到的電容不僅僅有第一寄生電容Cfinger,還會有第二寄生電容Cpex。而要提高指紋檢測精度會希望第一寄生電容Cfinger無限接近於寄生總電容Ctop,第二寄生電容Cpex越接近於零越好。為了降低第二寄生電容Cpex對指紋的檢測精度的影響,本申請在第一金屬層1211與襯底層1214之間設置第二金屬層1212及第三金屬層1213以將第一金屬層1211與襯底層1214進行隔離,第二金屬層1212和第三金屬層1213在襯底層1214的投影覆蓋第一金屬層1211在襯底層1214的投影,以消除第一金屬層1211與襯底層1214之間形成的第二寄生電容Cpex,提高指紋信號的檢測準確度。具體地,第一金屬層1211與第二金屬層1212間隔設置,且第一金屬層1211與第二金屬層1212之間形成第一電容21。第一金屬層1211與第三金屬層1213間隔設置,且第一金屬層1211與第三金屬層1213之間形成第二電容22。 After the finger touches the first metal layer 1211, C finger is generated between the first metal layer 1211 and the ground terminal GND, and a second parasitic capacitance C pex is formed between the first metal layer 1211 and the substrate layer 1214, so that the first metal layer 1211 The total parasitic capacitance C top =C 1 +C 2 to the substrate layer (GND) is expressed as where C 1 is the first parasitic capacitance C finger and C 2 is the second parasitic capacitance C pex . In this way, the capacitance sensed from the first metal layer 1211l includes not only the first parasitic capacitance C finger , but also the second parasitic capacitance C pex . To improve the fingerprint detection accuracy, it is hoped that the first parasitic capacitance C finger is infinitely close to the total parasitic capacitance C top , and the closer the second parasitic capacitance C pex is to zero, the better. In order to reduce the influence of the second parasitic capacitance C pex on the fingerprint detection accuracy, the present application provides a second metal layer 1212 and a third metal layer 1213 between the first metal layer 1211 and the substrate layer 1214 to connect the first metal layer 1211 and The substrate layer 1214 is isolated, and the projection of the second metal layer 1212 and the third metal layer 1213 on the substrate layer 1214 covers the projection of the first metal layer 1211 on the substrate layer 1214, so as to eliminate the formation between the first metal layer 1211 and the substrate layer 1214. The second parasitic capacitance C pex improves the detection accuracy of fingerprint signals. Specifically, the first metal layer 1211 and the second metal layer 1212 are spaced apart, and the first capacitor 21 is formed between the first metal layer 1211 and the second metal layer 1212 . The first metal layer 1211 and the third metal layer 1213 are spaced apart, and the second capacitor 22 is formed between the first metal layer 1211 and the third metal layer 1213 .

At this time, the first sub-switch rst_a1, the second sub-switch rst_a2, and the third sub-switch rst_a2 of the third switch group The sub-switch rst_a3 is turned on at the same time, and the first sub-switch rst_b1 and the second sub-switch rst_b2 of the fourth switch group are turned off at the same time. The output terminal 1313 of the operational amplifier is connected to the inverting input terminal 1312. The operational amplifier 131 has a buffer structure, and Vn=VREF. The upper plate of feedback capacitor C FB is connected to the second reference voltage V DC_OS , and the lower plate is connected to the power supply voltage V DD . The voltage of feedback capacitor C FB is calculated according to the formula V CFB 1 = V DD - V DC_OS , where V CFB1 represents feedback The voltage across capacitor C FB . The charge of the feedback capacitor C FB is calculated according to the formula Q CFB 1 = C FB * ( V DD - V DC_OS ), where C FB is the capacitance of the feedback capacitor C FB , Q CFB1 is the charge of the feedback capacitor C FB , V DC_OS is the second reference voltage.

b)掃描階段,第一時序控制信號reset_a為低電平,第二時序控制信號reset_b為高電平,此時第三開關組的第一子開關rst_a1、第二子開關rst_a2、第三子開關rst_a3同時斷開,第四開關組的第一子開關rst_b1、第二子開關rst_b2同時導通。回饋電容CFB的上極板連接運算放大器131的反向輸入端1312,下極板連接運算放大器131的輸出端1313。回饋電容CFB的電壓根據公式V CFB2=V OUT -V REF 計算得到,其中,VOUT為表示運算放大器131的輸出端1313的輸出電壓,VREF為第一參考電壓。回饋電容CFB的電荷根據公式Q CFB2=C FB * (V OUT -V REF )計算得到。 b) In the scanning phase, the first timing control signal reset_a is low level, and the second timing control signal reset_b is high level.

The charge of the feedback capacitor C FB is calculated according to the formula Q CFB 2 = C FB * ( V OUT - V REF ).

由於回饋電容CFB的電荷在起始階段及掃描階段沒有變化,所以運算放大器131的輸出端1313的輸出電壓根據公式V OUT =V REF +V DD -V DC_OS 計算得到。根據電荷守恆定律,回饋電容CFB的電荷根據公式:Q CFB =Q CFB1+Q CFB2=C FB * (V DD -V DC_OS )+C FB * (V OUT -V REF )計算得到。 Since the charge of the feedback capacitor C FB does not change during the initial stage and the scanning stage, the output voltage of the output terminal 1313 of the operational amplifier 131 is calculated according to the formula V OUT = V REF + V DD - V DC_OS . According to the law of conservation of charge, the charge of the feedback capacitor C FB is calculated according to the formula: Q CFB = Q CFB 1 + Q CFB 2 = C FB * ( V DD - V DC_OS ) + C FB * ( V OUT - V REF ).

(d)電荷轉移階段,第三時序控制信號Φ 1由高電平轉變為低電平,第一開關組的第一子開關Φ 11、第二子開關Φ 12、第三子開關Φ 13同時斷開。第四時序控制信號Φ 2由低電平轉變為高電平,第二開關組的第一子開關Φ 21、第二子開關Φ 22、第三子開關Φ 23同時導通。第三子開關Φ 23導通時,運算放大器131的反相輸入端1312藉由第三子開關Φ 23連接至第一金屬層1211,運算放大器131的輸出端1313和反相輸入端1312藉由回饋電容CFB連接,構成回饋結構。運算放大器131的反相輸入端1312的電壓等於正相輸入端電壓1311,即第一金屬層1211的電壓為第一參考電壓VREF。第二子開關Φ 22由斷開轉為導通狀態,第三金屬層1213的電壓為第一參考電壓VREF,因為第一金屬層1211和第三金屬層1213的電壓均為VREF,第一金屬層1211和第三金屬層1213構成的第二電容22沒有電荷轉移。第二開關組的第一子開關Φ 21由斷開轉為導通狀 態,第二金屬層1212連接接地端GND,第一金屬層1211到接地端GND的總寄生電容為C 2+C finger ,其中C2為第一電容21的電容。總寄生電容的電荷量根據公式Q 2=V REF * (C 2+C finger )計算得到。第三子開關Φ 23導通之前,運算放大器131的反相輸入端1312的電荷量根據公式Q CFB =C FB * (V DD -V DC_OS )+C FB * (V OUT -V REF )計算得到。第三子開關Φ 23導通後,總寄生電容的電荷量Q 2=V REF * (C 2+C finger )+(V DD -V DC_OS ) * C FB +(V REF -V OUT ) * C FB 。根據電荷守恆定律,Q 1=Q 2,則計算得到運算放大器131的輸出端1313的輸出電壓

(d) In the charge transfer stage, the third timing control signal Φ 1 changes from high level to low level, and the first sub-switch Φ 11, the second sub-switch Φ 12, and the third sub-switch Φ 13 of the first switch group simultaneously Disconnect. The fourth timing control signal Φ 2 changes from low level to high level, and the first sub-switch Φ 21 , the second sub-switch Φ 22 , and the third sub-switch Φ 23 of the second switch group are turned on at the same time. When the third sub-switch Φ 23 is turned on, the inverting input terminal 1312 of the operational amplifier 131 is connected to the first metal layer 1211 through the third sub-switch Φ 23 , and the output terminal 1313 and the inverting input terminal 1312 of the operational amplifier 131 are connected through feedback Capacitor C FB is connected to form a feedback structure. The voltage of the inverting input terminal 1312 of the operational amplifier 131 is equal to the voltage of the non-inverting input terminal 1311, that is, the voltage of the first metal layer 1211 is the first reference voltage VREF . The second sub-switch Φ 22 changes from off to on, and the voltage of the third metal layer 1213 is the first reference voltage V REF . Because the voltages of the first metal layer 1211 and the third metal layer 1213 are both V REF , the first The second capacitor 22 formed by the metal layer 1211 and the third metal layer 1213 has no charge transfer. The first sub-switch Φ 21 of the second switch group changes from off to on, the second metal layer 1212 is connected to the ground terminal GND, and the total parasitic capacitance from the first metal layer 1211 to the ground terminal GND is C 2 + C finger , where C 2 is the capacitance of the first capacitor 21 . The charge amount of the total parasitic capacitance is calculated according to the formula Q 2 = V REF * ( C 2 + C finger ). Before the third sub-switch Φ 23 is turned on, the charge amount at the inverting input terminal 1312 of the operational amplifier 131 is calculated according to the formula Q CFB = C FB * ( V DD - V DC_OS ) + C FB * ( V OUT - V REF ). After the third sub-switch Φ 23 is turned on, the charge amount of the total parasitic capacitance Q 2 = V REF * ( C 2 + C finger ) + ( V DD - V DC_OS ) * C FB + ( V REF - V OUT ) * C FB . According to the law of conservation of charge, Q 1 = Q 2 , then the output voltage of the output terminal 1313 of the operational amplifier 131 is calculated

Further organize VOUT:

本實施方式中,圖元陣列感應電路12在空掃時,需要保持

Figure 110120103-A0305-02-0008-4
Figure 110120103-A0305-02-0008-5
始终为零,VOUT不隨積分次數N的變化而變化,輸出端1313的輸出電壓則為固定值V OUT =(V DD -V DC_OS +V REF ),與第一寄生電容Cfinger無關。 In this embodiment, the picture element array sensing circuit 12 needs to maintain
Figure 110120103-A0305-02-0008-4
Figure 110120103-A0305-02-0008-5
It is always zero, V OUT does not change with the change of the number of integration times N, and the output voltage of the output terminal 1313 is a fixed value V OUT =( V DD - V DC_OS + V REF ), which has nothing to do with the first parasitic capacitance C finger .

假設空掃時運算放大器131的輸出端1313的輸出電壓V OUT_VIR =(V DD -V DC_OS +V REF ) Assume that the output voltage of the output terminal 1313 of the operational amplifier 131 during empty sweep is V OUT_VIR = ( V DD - V DC_OS + V REF )

若空掃時的VOUT低於VOUT_VIR,則說明VREF項(正數項)小於VDD項(負數項),需將VREF增大。若空掃時的VOUT高於Vout_vir,則說明VREF項(正數項)大於VDD項(負數項),需將VREF減小。因此,本實施方式中,可以藉由調整第一參考電壓VREF及第二參考電壓VDC_OS來調整輸出端1313的輸出電壓VOUT,防止指紋信號Cfinger過小,後端的模數轉換電路15無法處理的問題。第一參考電壓VREF可調節,適應不同的應用場景,提高了應用的靈活性。 If V OUT is lower than V OUT_VIR during empty sweep, it means that the V REF term (positive term) is less than the V DD term (negative term), and V REF needs to be increased. If V OUT during empty sweep is higher than Vout_vir, it means that the V REF term (positive term) is greater than the V DD term (negative term), and V REF needs to be reduced.
