  • Publication number: 20230300536
    Abstract: A vibration sensor and a microphone are provided. The vibration sensor includes a piezoelectric system and a capacitive system. The piezoelectric system includes a vibration component and a piezoelectric sensing component collecting a first electrical signal generated due to deformation of the vibration component. The capacitive system uses the vibration component in the piezoelectric system as a movable capacitive plate and a fixed substrate opposite to the vibration component to form a capacitive vibration sensor. The deformation of the vibration component changes a distance between the vibration component and the fixed substrate. A capacitive sensing component collects a second electrical signal generated due to the distance change. The capacitive sensing component is disposed in a region where the first electrical signal in the piezoelectric system is low, thereby better using space of the vibration sensor, and enhancing the second electrical signal without affecting output of the first electrical signal.
