The capacitive fingerprint sensing apparatus and capacitive fingerprint sensing method of the invention perform fingerprint sensing through self-capacitive sensing technology and mutual-capacitive sensing technology respectively and combine the self-capacitive fingerprint pattern and the mutual-capacitive fingerprint pattern into a synthesized fingerprint pattern. Therefore, the capacitive fingerprint sensing apparatus and capacitive fingerprint sensing method of the invention can effectively increase the capacity sensed by the unit sensing electrode without decreasing its high resolution. As a result, not only the noise interference can be reduced to increase the accuracy of fingerprint recognition, but also the number of signal traces can be also reduced to simplify the circuit structure and save the chip area.
