It is produced by micro-electromechanical processing technology and can be used in microwave communication systems. It belongs to the field of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS).
背景技术 Background technique
微波和射频技术在移动通信、无线局域网(WLAN)、航空电子、电子导航定位、车用雷达、甚至医学领域都得到广泛应用。市场需求在快速发展,同时RF和微波技术必须满足对系统小型廉价、低功耗、多功能、高可靠性等诸多要求。与传统技术相比,RF MEMS(X,Ka,orKu波段)技术被认为是一个有希望的发展方向。所谓微机电系统技术(MEMS)是在微电子技术的基础上发展起来的一项新兴的科学领域。利用该技术制作的器件以其良好的性能在微传感器、微执行器以及光、电通信领域已经获得了广泛的应用。Microwave and radio frequency technologies are widely used in mobile communication, wireless local area network (WLAN), avionics, electronic navigation and positioning, automotive radar, and even medical fields. The market demand is developing rapidly, and RF and microwave technology must meet many requirements such as small and cheap system, low power consumption, multi-function, and high reliability. Compared with traditional technologies, RF MEMS (X, Ka, or Ku band) technology is considered to be a promising development direction. The so-called micro-electromechanical system technology (MEMS) is a new scientific field developed on the basis of microelectronic technology. The devices made by this technology have been widely used in the fields of micro-sensors, micro-actuators, and optical and electrical communications due to their good performance.
在微波和射频系统中,射频开关是重要的部件,应用十分广泛,比如它可以用于多波段通信系统中的天线收发和信号滤波通路选择等。传统的开关采用场效应晶体管(Field Effect Transistor,或FET)或者PIN二极管制作,虽然这些器件的工作电压较低、工作速度很快,但是它们存在插入损耗大、隔离度较低、器件非线性、互调大以及功耗大等缺点。当信号频率越来越高时,这些器件的性能缺陷是限制其应用的瓶颈。而利用MEMS技术制作的微机械微波和射频开关则具有插入损耗小、隔离度高、互调小等优点,这些性能的提高对于射频通信系统来说是非常重要的。In microwave and radio frequency systems, radio frequency switches are important components and are widely used. For example, they can be used for antenna transceiving and signal filtering channel selection in multi-band communication systems. Traditional switches are made of field effect transistors (Field Effect Transistor, or FET) or PIN diodes. Although these devices have low operating voltage and fast operating speed, they have large insertion loss, low isolation, device nonlinearity, Disadvantages such as large intermodulation and large power consumption. When the signal frequency is getting higher and higher, the performance defects of these devices are the bottlenecks that limit their applications. Micromechanical microwave and radio frequency switches manufactured by MEMS technology have the advantages of small insertion loss, high isolation, and small intermodulation. The improvement of these performances is very important for radio frequency communication systems.
一种典型的单刀单掷(SPST)射频微机械开关是静电驱动的电容旁路式开关(Charles L.Goldsmith,Zhimin Yao,Susan Eshelman,David Denniston.“Performance of low-loss RF MEMS capacitiveswitches,IEEE Microwave and Guided Wave Letters,Vol.8,No.8,August 1998),它包括在基板材料上的共面波导(CPW)、共面波导的中间信号线上的绝缘介质以及与共面波导的两侧地线相接的金属桥。信号线和金属桥以及信号线上的绝缘介质和空气共同构成一个可变电容,当在电容的两个极板上存在一定的静电压差时,由于静电吸引的作用,金属桥会被吸引至与信号线上的绝缘介质贴合,从而改变了电容大小。当去掉静电压差后,金属桥在弹性恢复力作用下回到原来位置。由于电容的容抗与信号频率相关,该可变电容使得信号线中的信号或者不受影响,或者被地线旁路,从而实现开关功能。A typical single-pole single-throw (SPST) RF micromechanical switch is an electrostatically driven capacitive bypass switch (Charles L. Goldsmith, Zhimin Yao, Susan Eshelman, David Denniston. "Performance of low-loss RF MEMS capacitive switches, IEEE Microwave and Guided Wave Letters, Vol.8, No.8, August 1998), which includes the coplanar waveguide (CPW) on the substrate material, the insulating medium on the middle signal line of the coplanar waveguide, and the ground on both sides of the coplanar waveguide The metal bridge connected by the wire. The signal wire and the metal bridge, as well as the insulating medium and air on the signal wire together form a variable capacitor. When there is a certain static voltage difference on the two plates of the capacitor, due to the effect of electrostatic attraction , the metal bridge will be attracted to the insulating medium on the signal line, thereby changing the capacitance. When the static voltage difference is removed, the metal bridge returns to its original position under the action of elastic restoring force. Due to the capacitive reactance of the capacitor and the signal Frequency dependent, the variable capacitor makes the signal in the signal line either unaffected, or bypassed by the ground line, thereby realizing the switching function.
单刀双掷(SPDT)射频开关的应用也十分广泛。在美国专利6580337和6440767中提出了两种单刀双掷开关,其基本结构,是在具有同一输入端口的两条输出信号通路中分别放置一个单刀单掷开关,两个开关交替工作,从而实现单刀双掷。它们的单刀单掷开关采用的是静电驱动的悬臂梁开关,在悬臂梁的端部制作有连接导体,当悬臂梁在静电力的作用下向信号线方向运动且位移达到一定大小时,端部的连接导体将原本断开的信号线接通,使其导通,当静电力去除时,悬臂梁在弹性恢复力作用下回到原来位置,使信号通路断开。这种单刀双掷的开关有体积大的缺点,且连接导体引入的电阻会增加插入损耗。上述单刀双掷开关,都需要静电力维持其在某一通路的开关状态,当静电力撤除时,开关的状态将不再维持,即这些微机械开关都不具备状态锁存功能。Single pole double throw (SPDT) RF switches are also widely used. Two SPDT switches are proposed in U.S. Patents 6,580,337 and 6,440,767. The basic structure is to place a single-pole single-throw switch in two output signal paths with the same input port, and the two switches work alternately to achieve single-pole double-throw. double throw. Their single-pole single-throw switches use electrostatically driven cantilever beam switches. A connecting conductor is made at the end of the cantilever beam. When the cantilever beam moves toward the signal line under the action of electrostatic force and the displacement reaches a certain size, the connection at the end The conductor connects the originally disconnected signal line to make it conduct. When the electrostatic force is removed, the cantilever beam returns to its original position under the action of the elastic restoring force, so that the signal path is disconnected. This single-pole double-throw switch has the disadvantage of large volume, and the resistance introduced by the connecting conductor will increase the insertion loss. The above-mentioned SPDT switches all require electrostatic force to maintain their switching state in a certain path. When the electrostatic force is removed, the switch state will no longer be maintained, that is, these micromechanical switches do not have a state latch function.
由此可见,至今为止尚未有已设计出一种带有状态锁存功能、体积小、低功耗的单刀双掷射频和微波微机械开关,另外该开关插入损耗也很小的报道。It can be seen that, so far, there has not been a report on a single-pole double-throw radio frequency and microwave micromechanical switch with a state latch function, small size, and low power consumption. In addition, the insertion loss of the switch is also very small.

The conversion conductor on the first substrate is connected to the second waveguide and other components on the first substrate.
所述的弹性介质膜内存在预应力,当该预应力达到一定大小时,使得弹性介质膜的初始状态为上述状态中的任意一个,同时,预应力的存在使得弹性介质膜的状态具有锁存特性,即在不受外界力的作用时,弹性膜保持该状态不变,直到有外界力作用使其改变为另一状态为止。弹性介质膜内的预应力为不大于100Mpa的压应力。There is a prestress in the elastic dielectric membrane, when the prestress reaches a certain size, the initial state of the elastic dielectric membrane is any one of the above states, and at the same time, the existence of the prestress makes the state of the elastic dielectric membrane have a latch The characteristic, that is, the elastic membrane remains in this state when it is not affected by an external force, until it is changed to another state by an external force. The prestress in the elastic medium membrane is a compressive stress not greater than 100Mpa.
所述第一凹部和第二凹部的深度差不大于0.2微米,第一凹部和第二凹部的深度不小于1微米,同时不大于5微米。The depth difference between the first recess and the second recess is not greater than 0.2 microns, and the depth of the first recess and the second recess is not less than 1 micron and not greater than 5 microns.
所述驱动导电膜与第一波导线电绝缘,同时也与第二波导线电绝缘。The driving conductive film is electrically insulated from the first waveguide, and is also electrically insulated from the second waveguide.
本发明所述的单刀双掷射频和微波微机械开关的状态锁存功能是利用双端固支的薄膜在临界压应力条件下的双稳态翘曲原理实现的,其原理表述如下:The state latching function of the SPDT radio frequency and microwave micromechanical switch described in the present invention is realized by utilizing the bistable warping principle of a double-terminal fixed-supported film under critical compressive stress conditions, and its principle is expressed as follows:
考虑一长为a,宽为b的矩形薄膜,长为a的边无自由度约束,宽为b的边为固支状态。如果薄膜内没有应力或者为张应力,则薄膜保持平坦状态。当薄膜受到纵向压应力时,薄膜有发生横向翘曲的趋势。当压应力增大到某一临界值时,薄膜稳态被破坏,发生横向翘曲,直到薄膜到达另外的稳态为止。该稳态为可能产生的两个稳态之一。产生翘曲所需的临界应力的大小如下式所示:Consider a rectangular film with length a and width b, the side with length a has no freedom constraint, and the side with width b is fixed. If there is no stress or tensile stress in the film, the film remains flat. When the film is subjected to longitudinal compressive stress, the film has a tendency to warp in the transverse direction. When the compressive stress increases to a certain critical value, the stable state of the film is destroyed, and transverse warpage occurs until the film reaches another stable state. This steady state is one of two possible steady states. The magnitude of the critical stress required to produce warpage is given by the following formula:
其中,σcr为临界应力,E为构成薄膜的材料的杨式模量,t为薄膜厚度,v为泊松比。Among them, σ cr is the critical stress, E is the Young's modulus of the material constituting the film, t is the film thickness, and v is Poisson's ratio.
本发明所述的单刀双掷射频和微波微机械开关采用的是静电驱动的电容旁路式开关工作原理,以图1进行说明,波导线结构以共面波导为例。The SPDT radio frequency and microwave micromechanical switch of the present invention adopts the working principle of an electrostatically driven capacitive bypass switch, which is illustrated in FIG. 1 , and the waveguide structure is taken as an example of a coplanar waveguide.
如图1(a)所示,在衬底基板11上形成由传输线12和接地板13构成的共面波导(CPW),在介质膜桥14上形成金属膜15。金属膜15、传输线12以及它们之间的介质膜14和空气构成可变电容。当接地板13和金属膜15之间没有静电压时,14下表面高出12上表面一定距离,又由于空气介电常数很小,可变电容值很小。在高频情况下,可变电容的容抗很大。传输线12中的信号被开关反射很小。此时开关处于打开状态。As shown in FIG. 1( a ), a coplanar waveguide (CPW) composed of a
如图1(b)所示,当在金属膜15和接地板13之间施加一定静电压时,由于静电感应产生的静电力使得介质膜桥14和金属膜15向下运动,直到14的下表面和12的上表面贴合。此时,由于14的介电常数比空气大得多,可变电容很大。在高频情况下,使得传输线12中的信号与地短路,信号几乎完全被开关反射。此时开关处于关闭状态。As shown in Figure 1 (b), when a certain electrostatic voltage is applied between the
本发明所述的单刀双掷射频和微波微机械开关的制作方法,采用表面微机械加工技术,包括以下步骤:a)在第一基板上形成第一凹部;b)在第一凹部底部以及第一基板表面形成第一波导线、第一吸引电极和转换导体;c)在第二基板上形成第二凹部;d)在第二凹部底部和第二基板表面形成第二波导线和第二吸引电极;e)在第一凹部中填充牺牲层材料;f)将牺牲层材料平坦化,使其上表面与第一基板上表面平行,两者高度差不小于0.1微米,同时不大于0.5微米;g)在第一基板以及第一凹部中的牺牲层上表面形成前述弹性介质层;h)在上述弹性介质上形成前述驱动导电层;i)在上述驱动导电层上形成第二介质层;j)刻蚀第二介质层,形成第二介质膜;k)刻蚀导电层和弹性介质层,形成弹性介质膜、驱动导电膜、驱动导电膜引出电极和牺牲层腐蚀孔;1)腐蚀去除牺牲层,释放并形成翘曲弹性介质膜;m)将第一基板的上表面和第二基板的下表面相向键合,前述第一凹部和第二凹部对准,形成开关部腔体,第二波导线和第二吸引电极与转换导体对准,形成转换。The manufacturing method of the SPDT radio frequency and microwave micromechanical switch of the present invention adopts the surface micromachining technology, and comprises the following steps: a) forming a first recess on the first substrate; b) forming the bottom of the first recess and the second Forming the first waveguide, the first attracting electrode and the conversion conductor on the surface of a substrate; c) forming the second recess on the second substrate; d) forming the second waveguide and the second attracting electrode at the bottom of the second recess and the surface of the second substrate. Electrode; e) filling the sacrificial layer material in the first recess; f) planarizing the sacrificial layer material so that its upper surface is parallel to the upper surface of the first substrate, and the height difference between the two is not less than 0.1 micron and not greater than 0.5 micron; g) forming the aforementioned elastic medium layer on the upper surface of the first substrate and the sacrificial layer in the first recess; h) forming the aforementioned driving conductive layer on the aforementioned elastic medium; i) forming a second dielectric layer on the aforementioned driving conductive layer; j ) etching the second dielectric layer to form a second dielectric film; k) etching the conductive layer and the elastic dielectric layer to form the elastic dielectric film, the drive conductive film, the drive conductive film lead electrode and the sacrificial layer corrosion hole; 1) etching to remove the sacrificial layer layer, releasing and forming a warped elastic dielectric film; m) bonding the upper surface of the first substrate and the lower surface of the second substrate facing each other, the aforementioned first concave portion and the second concave portion are aligned to form a switch portion cavity, and the second The waveguide and the second attracting electrode are aligned with the switching conductor to form the switching.
根据本发明,由于翘曲弹性介质膜内含有一定大小的预置压应力,使其可以维持上述两个锁定状态中的任意一个,直到有外加力改变该状态为止。当翘曲弹性介质膜处于第一锁定状态时,弹性介质膜下表面中部与第一波导线中的信号线接触,由该信号线、弹性介质层以及驱动导电层构成的电容较大,射频信号几乎完全被开关反射,从而该路信号被断开;同时,第二介质膜上表面与第二波导线中的信号线分开一定距离,由该信号线、空气、第二介质层和驱动导电层构成的结构的电容很小,使得射频信号被开关的反射很小,因而该路信号传输不受开关影响,保持导通。如果在第二吸引电极和驱动导电层上施加一定大小的静电压差时,由于静电引力的作用,翘曲弹性截止膜从第一锁定状态改变为第二锁定状态,即第二介质膜与第二波导线中的信号线接触,而翘曲弹性介质膜与第一波导线中的信号线分开一定距离。与上述原理类似,第二波导线中的信号被断开,第一波导线中的信号导通。此时,如果撤去吸引电极上的控制电压,翘曲弹性介质膜在压应力下仍然会维持现有状态,开关状态锁存。According to the present invention, since the warped elastic dielectric film contains a certain amount of preset compressive stress, it can maintain any one of the above two locking states until an external force changes the state. When the warped elastic dielectric film is in the first locked state, the middle part of the lower surface of the elastic dielectric film is in contact with the signal line in the first waveguide, and the capacitance formed by the signal line, the elastic medium layer and the driving conductive layer is relatively large, and the radio frequency signal It is almost completely reflected by the switch, so that the signal is disconnected; at the same time, the upper surface of the second dielectric film is separated from the signal line in the second waveguide by a certain distance, and the signal line, air, the second dielectric layer and the driving conductive layer are separated by a certain distance. The capacitance of the formed structure is very small, so that the reflection of the radio frequency signal by the switch is very small, so the signal transmission of this channel is not affected by the switch and remains on. If a certain static voltage difference is applied on the second attracting electrode and the driving conductive layer, due to the effect of electrostatic attraction, the warped elastic cut-off film changes from the first locked state to the second locked state, that is, the second dielectric film and the first The signal lines in the two waveguides are in contact, and the warped elastic dielectric film is separated from the signal lines in the first waveguide by a certain distance. Similar to the above principle, the signal in the second waveguide is disconnected, and the signal in the first waveguide is turned on. At this time, if the control voltage on the attracting electrode is removed, the warped elastic dielectric film will still maintain the current state under compressive stress, and the switch state is latched.
根据本发明,开关在制作工艺上使用将第一、第二基板上下键合的技术,两块基板上的部件尺寸可以制作得比较小,同时减少器件整体体积,避免了将两个单刀单掷开关放在一个平面上带来的整个开关占用体积和面积大的缺点。According to the present invention, the switch uses the technology of bonding the first and second substrates up and down in the manufacturing process, and the size of the components on the two substrates can be made relatively small, while reducing the overall volume of the device, and avoiding the need for two single-pole single-throw The disadvantage of placing the switch on a plane is that the entire switch occupies a large volume and area.
根据本发明,开关采用静电驱动的电容式开关,在器件工作过程中无静态电流,因而器件不消耗静态功耗。According to the present invention, the switch adopts an electrostatically driven capacitive switch, and there is no static current in the working process of the device, so the device does not consume static power consumption.
根据本发明,开关处于第一锁定状态或者第二锁定状态时,第二波导线与第二介质膜分开的距离或者第一波导线与翘曲弹性介质膜分开的距离较大,又由于空气的相对介电常数很小,所以对于处于导通状态的波导线而言,它与驱动导电层之间的等效电容非常小,这样使得开关对于该路信号影响很小,开关的插入损耗低。According to the present invention, when the switch is in the first locked state or the second locked state, the distance between the second waveguide and the second dielectric film or the distance between the first waveguide and the warped elastic dielectric film is relatively large, and due to the The relative permittivity is very small, so for the waveguide in the conduction state, the equivalent capacitance between it and the driving conductive layer is very small, so that the switch has little influence on the signal, and the insertion loss of the switch is low.

本实施例的单刀双掷开关中的三层复合膜的几何形状如图6所示。The geometry of the three-layer composite film in the SPDT switch of this embodiment is shown in FIG. 6 .
按照前述的制作方法,第一基板和第二基板均使用(100)晶向高阻硅片。在第一基板上腐蚀第一凹坑,再淀积一薄层氮化硅,然后溅射一定厚度的Cr/Au,经过光刻、刻蚀在第一凹坑底部和第一基板表面形成第一共面波导(CPW)和转换导体。然后在第一凹坑内填充牺牲层,牺牲层材料选用正性光刻胶,如Shipley S1818或Shipley4620。使用化学机械抛光工艺(CMP)对牺牲层进行平坦化,使其表面与硅片表面平行。接下来在牺牲层表面和硅片表面依次淀积第一层压应力氮化硅、驱动导电层的Cr/Au和第二层压应力氮化硅,薄膜中的压应力不大于100MPa。然后再依次干法刻蚀第二层氮化硅、中间Cr/Au层和第一层氮化硅,形成第二介质膜209、驱动导电膜208、翘曲弹性介质膜205和牺牲层腐蚀孔601。然后通过601腐蚀掉牺牲层光刻胶,释放翘曲弹性介质膜。再在第二基板上腐蚀第二凹坑,然后淀积一薄层氮化硅,再溅射一定厚度的Cr/Au,经过光刻、刻蚀在第二凹坑底部和第二基板表面形成第二共面波导。通过键合将两块基板及其上面的元件相向对准键合,形成开关部腔体以及转换。According to the aforementioned manufacturing method, both the first substrate and the second substrate use (100) oriented high-resistance silicon wafers. Etch the first pit on the first substrate, deposit a thin layer of silicon nitride, then sputter Cr/Au with a certain thickness, and form the first pit on the bottom of the first pit and the surface of the first substrate through photolithography and etching. A coplanar waveguide (CPW) and transition conductor. Then fill the sacrificial layer in the first pit, and the material of the sacrificial layer is positive photoresist, such as Shipley S1818 or Shipley4620. The sacrificial layer is planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing process (CMP) so that its surface is parallel to the silicon wafer surface. Next, the first layer of compressive stress silicon nitride, the Cr/Au of the driving conductive layer and the second layer of compressive stress silicon nitride are sequentially deposited on the surface of the sacrificial layer and the surface of the silicon wafer, and the compressive stress in the film is not greater than 100 MPa. Then dry etch the second layer of silicon nitride, the middle Cr/Au layer and the first layer of silicon nitride in sequence to form the
本实施例的开关由于使用压应力氮化硅作为翘曲弹性介质膜材料,它具有状态锁存功能,体积较小。另外由于采用如图6所示的复合膜几何形状,薄膜的弹性常数较小,使得驱动电压相对较低,薄膜平坦性好。基板上淀积的薄层氮化硅是为了减少衬底损耗。Since the switch of this embodiment uses compressive stress silicon nitride as the warp elastic dielectric film material, it has a state latch function and is small in size. In addition, due to the geometric shape of the composite film as shown in Figure 6, the elastic constant of the film is small, so that the driving voltage is relatively low and the flatness of the film is good. A thin layer of silicon nitride is deposited on the substrate to reduce substrate loss.
实施例4Example 4
本实施例中开关的第一、第二基板使用石英衬底。与实施例1的主要不同之处在于使用微带线波导结构代替共面波导(CPW)。这样做的好处是使得工艺实施比较容易控制。In this embodiment, the first and second substrates of the switch use quartz substrates. The main difference from
图7(a)所示为共面波导(CPW)结构,202为信号线,203为地线。在微波传输中,波导线的阻抗与系统其他部分的阻抗匹配非常重要。共面波导的特征阻抗大小与信号线a和信号线与地线间距b有着复杂的非线性关系,在工艺中必须严格控制好a和b的大小才能保证与设计的波导线阻抗符合,这对工艺的要求也非常高。而如图7(b)所示的微带线结构由信号线701和地线703组成,其特征阻抗与信号线701宽度的关系比较简单,由于变量较少,微带线在工艺上的制作比较容易控制。Fig. 7(a) shows a coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure, 202 is a signal line, and 203 is a ground line. In microwave transmission, it is important to match the impedance of the waveguide to the impedance of the rest of the system. The characteristic impedance of the coplanar waveguide has a complex nonlinear relationship with the signal line a and the distance b between the signal line and the ground line. In the process, the size of a and b must be strictly controlled to ensure that the impedance of the waveguide is consistent with the design. The technical requirements are also very high. The microstrip line structure shown in Figure 7(b) is composed of a

Cr/Au with a certain thickness is sputtered on the back of the first substrate to form a ground line in the first microstrip line. Then a sacrificial layer is filled in the first pit, and the material of the sacrificial layer is positive photoresist. The sacrificial layer is planarized using a chemical mechanical polishing process (CMP) so that its surface is parallel to the quartz surface. Then deposit the first layer of compressive stress silicon nitride, the Cr/Au of the driving conductive layer and the second layer of compressive stress silicon nitride on the surface of the sacrificial layer and the quartz surface in sequence, and the compressive stress in the film is not greater than 100MPa. Then dry etch the second layer of silicon nitride, the middle Cr/Au layer and the first layer of silicon nitride in sequence to form a second dielectric film, a driving conductive film, a warped elastic dielectric film and sacrificial layer etching holes. The photoresist of the sacrificial layer is etched through the etching hole of the sacrificial layer to release the warped elastic dielectric film.

Attract the electrodes. A certain thickness of Cr/Au is sputtered on the back of the second substrate to form a ground line in the second microstrip line. The two substrates and the components on them are aligned and bonded by bonding to form the cavity of the switch part and the switch.
