Technical field
The invention belongs to the preparing technical field of microelectromechanical systems, relate to a kind of method of preparing the unsettled membrane structure of non-silicon MEMS, MEMS is the initial abbreviation of micro-electro-mechanical systems, and Chinese translation is microelectromechanical systems.
Background technology
The MEMS product that to be microelectric technique be combined with the technology such as machinery and optics, is expanding and extending of IC technology, has realized the integrated manufacture of multiple non-silicon material, is the new breakthrough that microelectric technique is applied.MEMS technology is a kind of emerging technology of typical multidisciplinary intersection, almost relate to all spectra of nature and engineering science, as electronic technology, mechanical technique, physics, chemistry, biomedicine, material science etc., in the many-side of economic society, all there is application prospect as fields such as national defence, Aero-Space, medical treatment, information communication, automobiles, thereby extremely people's concern, and obtained development rapidly.
The microelectronics system that MEMS is comprised of 3-D micro mechanical structure in essence.In micro-processing of MEMS, in most cases need on the substrate of carrying MEMS, form movable structure, to realize Mechanical Moving, as micro-valve, micro motor, micro-gyro, micro-acceleration gauge, micro-machinery switch etc.; For some radio frequencies (RF:radio frequency) MEMS device, as microstrip line, micro-inductance, also need to form hanging structure, to reduce the substrate loss and the high frequency performance that improves radio circuit of device system.These all need to be realized by means of sacrifice layer, utilize the difference of different materials corrosion rate in same corrosive liquid or gas, optionally the sacrificial layer material between structure graph and substrate is etched away, carries out the release of structure, form the hanging structure film on cavity.Sacrificial layer technology is a key technology in MEMS manufacturing technology, is an important difference of MEMS micro fabrication and traditional IC technique, has now become a main focus in MEMS technical research field.In the evolution of MEMS non-silicon material micro fabrication, once adopted different materials as metal material Ti, Al, Cu, Cr and nonmetallic materials phosphorosilicate glass, SiO
2deng making sacrificial layer material.But, use above sacrificial layer material to have following shortcoming:
(1) the covering cost of sacrificial layer material is high, time-consuming.
(2) dissolving of sacrificial layer material is very difficult, conventionally needs to use strong acid, thereby has produced for the manufacture of the compatibility issue between numerous material of MEMS.
(3) described sacrificial layer material can not be directly by graphically, need additional lithography step, just can obtain required structure graph, manufacturing process is complicated.
With respect to inorganic material, it is just fairly simple that organic material is made sacrifice layer method.Such as with photoresist, both be easy to apply, and be easy to again use acetone selective dissolution, and harmless to structure and substrate, but when photoresist Thickness Ratio is larger, easily there is crack performance, when particularly lamination is used, easily occur that levels is dissolved each other to cause interlayer Seed Layer to damage.Wet method is also prone to adhesion in discharging in addition.Also useful polyimides is done sacrifice layer dry release, but dispose procedure time used is long, can cause free standing structure film structural failure.

The 7th step is got rid of the second positive glue 4 ' in the second adhesion-Seed Layer 2 ', the thickness of the second positive glue 4 ' is 5 ~ 35 μ m, form synthetic sacrifice layer+adhesion-Seed Layer+photoresist structure, drying glue, after drying glue, at the structure graph of the second positive glue 4 ' upper unsettled film 6 of photoetching, the technological parameter of described drying glue is as shown in table 1;
The drying glue technological parameter of table 1 the second positive glue 4 '
On the structure graph of the unsettled film 6 that the 8th step obtains in the 7th step, electroplate unsettled film 6, have radius 2 ~ 30 μ m to increase pit on unsettled film, the metal of plating is permalloy, nickel, copper, gold or hard magnetic material, and the thickness of unsettled film 6 is 3 ~ 30 μ m;
The 9th step wet etching removes positive glue: adopt the KOH solution of mass fraction 3% to soak to dissolve and remove 4 layers, 4 ' layer, the second positive glue and positive glue, after washed with de-ionized water flood is done, dry etching polyimides 3, obtains the movable unsettled membrane structure of non-silicon MEMS of freedom of release.
So far, completing hanging structure discharges: film 6 is suspended from the top of substrate 1.
The present invention has following outstanding effect:
1. sacrifice layer is synthetic by polyimides and positive two kinds of organic materials of glue, easy film forming, the internal stress that does not have the general sacrifice layer obtaining by deposit conventionally to have;
2. synthetic sacrifice layer has avoided the positive glue thickness of independent use limited and be prone to the shortcoming of be full of cracks;
3. synthetic sacrifice layer has avoided that independent use polyimides etch period is long, the yielding shortcoming of hanging structure;
4. be conducive to make the unsettled membrane structure that area is larger.
