Description
【技术领域】【Technical field】
本发明属于微机械电子系统传感器计量领域,具体涉及一种纯轴向变形的MEMS三轴压阻式加速度计芯片及其制备方法。The invention belongs to the field of micromechanical electronic system sensor measurement, and in particular relates to a MEMS triaxial piezoresistive accelerometer chip with pure axial deformation and a preparation method thereof.
【背景技术】【Background technique】
MEMS加速度传感器的产量是仅次于压力传感器的力学测量传感器,是目前应用比较多的MEMS器件之一。MEMS压阻式加速度传感器结构简单,外形小巧,性能优越,尤其适用低频加速度的测量。它除了在航天方面用于飞行器风洞试验和飞行试验等多种过载与振动参数测量外,在工业方面可用于发动机试车台各阶段振动参数的测试。The output of MEMS acceleration sensor is the mechanical measurement sensor second only to the pressure sensor, and it is one of the most widely used MEMS devices at present. MEMS piezoresistive acceleration sensor has simple structure, small appearance and superior performance, especially suitable for the measurement of low frequency acceleration. In addition to being used in aerospace for various overload and vibration parameter measurements such as aircraft wind tunnel tests and flight tests, it can also be used for testing vibration parameters at various stages of engine test benches in industry.
MEMS加速度传感器所采用的测量原理有许多,主要有压阻式、压电式、电容式、热对流式、隧道式、光纤式以及谐振式。与其他类型的MEMS加速度传感器相比,MEMS压阻式加速度传感器因其测量范围广,加工工艺简单,可测量动态和静态信号,动态响应好,测试方便,后续处理电路简单,成本低廉等优点而得到广泛的应用。There are many measurement principles used in MEMS acceleration sensors, mainly piezoresistive, piezoelectric, capacitive, thermal convection, tunnel, fiber optic and resonant. Compared with other types of MEMS acceleration sensors, MEMS piezoresistive acceleration sensors have the advantages of wide measurement range, simple processing technology, can measure dynamic and static signals, good dynamic response, convenient testing, simple follow-up processing circuit, and low cost. be widely used.
对于三轴压阻式加速度传感器,用于测量三个方向的加速度,无论对于哪个方向而言,加速度传感器的灵敏度与工作带宽始终是其最主要工作指标,因此在设计过程中常将这两个参数作为优化目标来设计加速度传感器结构。而固有频率与灵敏度之间存在相互制约关系,从而影响了加速度传感器的进一步提高。在加速度传感器的设计中,弱化加速度传感器灵敏度和固有频率的相互制约关系,同时得到灵敏度和固有频率的最优值非常重要。对于加速度传感器在测量z方向的加速度时,由于加速度垂直于芯片,使得调整该测量单元的灵敏度和固有频率尤为重要。For the three-axis piezoresistive acceleration sensor, it is used to measure the acceleration in three directions. No matter which direction it is, the sensitivity and working bandwidth of the acceleration sensor are always its most important working indicators. Therefore, these two parameters are often used in the design process. Design the accelerometer structure as an optimization target. However, there is a mutually restrictive relationship between the natural frequency and the sensitivity, which affects the further improvement of the acceleration sensor. In the design of the acceleration sensor, it is very important to weaken the mutual constraint relationship between the sensitivity of the acceleration sensor and the natural frequency, and to obtain the optimal value of the sensitivity and the natural frequency at the same time. When the acceleration sensor measures the acceleration in the z direction, since the acceleration is perpendicular to the chip, it is particularly important to adjust the sensitivity and natural frequency of the measurement unit.

本发明公开了一种纯轴向变形的MEMS三轴压阻式加速度计芯片,该传感器中的X测量单元、Y测量单元和Z测量单元分别用于测量X方向、Y方向和Z方向的加速度,可实现三个方向加速度的分离测量;Z单元包括质量块、支撑梁和敏感梁;支撑梁和敏感梁通过质量块分离设置,支撑梁支撑质量块运动,而应力主要集中于敏感梁,使得敏感梁上的压敏电阻条阻值发生变化,两者各司其职,极大地弱化了灵敏度与谐振频率之间的直接耦合关系;同时由于两质量块的同步运动,与其固定的敏感梁两端也同步运动,从而敏感梁始终满足纯轴向变形条件,在相同谐振频率下,传感器的灵敏度达到最优,使得该传感器芯片具有良好的性能指标;第三质量块和第四质量块的内侧连接部分设置为相匹配啮合的结构,增加二者之间连接的牢固性;第二敏感梁和第三敏感梁因为一个是直接连接第三质量块和第四质量块的内侧边,另一个是连接的嵌合部分,使得芯片受到Z方向上的加速度时,第二敏感梁和第三敏感梁一个是受到拉伸力,一个是受到压缩力,进而组成惠斯通全桥,通过该结构使得在一个结构内即可组成惠斯通全桥,即简化了结构,又提高了输出灵敏度,灵敏度相较于传统的半桥设计提高了一倍;该传感器芯片可以实现100g以下三轴加速度的分离测量。The invention discloses a MEMS three-axis piezoresistive accelerometer chip with pure axial deformation. The X measuring unit, the Y measuring unit and the Z measuring unit in the sensor are respectively used to measure the acceleration in the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction , can realize the separate measurement of acceleration in three directions; the Z unit includes a mass block, a support beam and a sensitive beam; the support beam and the sensitive beam are set separately through the mass block, the support beam supports the movement of the mass block, and the stress is mainly concentrated on the sensitive beam, so that The resistance of the piezoresistor strip on the sensitive beam changes, and the two perform their duties, which greatly weakens the direct coupling relationship between the sensitivity and the resonance frequency; at the same time, due to the synchronous movement of the two mass blocks, the two The ends also move synchronously, so that the sensitive beam always meets the pure axial deformation condition. Under the same resonant frequency, the sensitivity of the sensor is optimal, so that the sensor chip has good performance indicators; the inner sides of the third mass block and the fourth mass block The connecting part is set as a matching and meshing structure to increase the firmness of the connection between the two; because one of the second sensitive beam and the third sensitive beam is directly connected to the inner side of the third mass block and the fourth mass block, the other It is the fitting part of the connection, so that when the chip is subjected to acceleration in the Z direction, one of the second sensitive beam and the third sensitive beam is subjected to a tensile force, and the other is subjected to a compressive force, thereby forming a Wheatstone full bridge. Through this structure The Wheatstone full bridge can be formed in one structure, which simplifies the structure and improves the output sensitivity. Compared with the traditional half-bridge design, the sensitivity is doubled; the sensor chip can realize the three-axis acceleration below 100g. separate measurements.
进一步的,第二支撑梁上设置在第三质量块或第四质量块z方向的中心线处,使得第三质量块或第四质量块和芯片外框之间能够均匀的受到支撑梁的连接力;第二支撑梁上设置有蛇形梁,蛇形梁为迂回型结构,蛇形梁能够引出导线且不增加支撑梁刚度;当芯片受到z方向的加速度时,特有的迂回型质量块端部结构能够减少Z测量单元在受到z方向加速度时,减少芯片外框对第三质量块或第四质量块的限制力,同时蛇形梁设置在支撑梁上,又保证了质量块和芯片外框能够牢固连接,同时使得在Z测量单元上既存在拉伸敏感梁,又存在压缩敏感梁的功能,进而组成惠斯通全桥,来提高输出灵敏度;蛇形梁设置在支撑梁上,又保证了质量块和芯片外框能够牢固连接,进而在提高加速度传感器的灵敏度、降低传感器的交叉灵敏度的同时,保证了质量块和芯片外框的连接力;蛇形梁设置有多个蛇形单元,能够保证金属引线能够均匀分布被引出。Further, the second support beam is arranged at the center line of the third mass or the fourth mass in the z direction, so that the third mass or the fourth mass and the chip frame can be evenly connected by the support beam force; the second support beam is provided with a serpentine beam, the serpentine beam is a circuitous structure, the serpentine beam can lead out the wire without increasing the stiffness of the support beam; when the chip is accelerated in the z direction, the unique circuitous mass end The external structure can reduce the limiting force of the chip outer frame on the third mass block or the fourth mass block when the Z measurement unit is subjected to the acceleration in the z direction. The frame can be firmly connected, and at the same time, there are both tension-sensitive beams and compression-sensitive beams on the Z measurement unit, thereby forming a Wheatstone full bridge to improve output sensitivity; the snake-shaped beam is set on the supporting beam, and the It ensures that the mass block and the chip frame can be firmly connected, thereby improving the sensitivity of the acceleration sensor and reducing the cross-sensitivity of the sensor, while ensuring the connection force between the mass block and the chip frame; the snake-shaped beam is equipped with multiple snake-shaped units , which can ensure that the metal leads can be evenly distributed and drawn out.
进一步的,Z测量单元中通过设置宽度不同的连接段和凸出端,使得能够形成嵌合结构。Further, the Z measuring unit is provided with connecting sections and protruding ends with different widths, so that a fitting structure can be formed.
进一步的,两个第二敏感梁设置在靠近边部的位置,提高其灵敏度。Further, two second sensitive beams are arranged near the edge to improve the sensitivity.
进一步的,X测量单元和Y测量单元中,支撑梁和敏感梁均通过质量块分离设置,支撑梁支撑质量块运动,而应力主要集中于敏感梁,使得敏感梁上的压敏电阻条阻值发生变化,两者各司其职,极大地弱化了灵敏度与谐振频率之间的直接耦合关系;同时由于两质量块的同步运动,与其固定的敏感梁两端也同步运动,从而敏感梁始终满足纯轴向变形条件。Further, in the X measurement unit and the Y measurement unit, both the support beam and the sensitive beam are set separately through the mass block, the support beam supports the movement of the mass block, and the stress is mainly concentrated on the sensitive beam, so that the resistance of the piezoresistor strip on the sensitive beam changes, the two perform their own duties, which greatly weakens the direct coupling relationship between the sensitivity and the resonance frequency; at the same time, due to the synchronous movement of the two mass blocks, the two ends of the fixed sensitive beam also move synchronously, so that the sensitive beam always satisfies Pure axial deformation condition.
进一步的,对于X测量单元或Y测量单元,铰链梁设置在每一个测量块的中心线上,第一敏感梁相对于铰链梁对称;当收到x方向或y方向的加速度时,由于两质量块在受到加速度作用时会同步运动,使得与其固定的敏感梁两端在任何时刻的运动相同,敏感梁两端轴向位移相反,而横向位移抵消,且由于敏感梁足够细,两端质量块弯曲对敏感梁的弯矩小到可以忽略,从而敏感梁始终满足纯轴向变形的条件,将敏感梁的应变能集中于轴向变形,大大增加了传感器的灵敏度。Further, for the X measurement unit or the Y measurement unit, the hinge beam is arranged on the center line of each measurement block, and the first sensitive beam is symmetrical to the hinge beam; when receiving an acceleration in the x direction or the y direction, due to the two mass The block will move synchronously under the action of acceleration, so that the two ends of the fixed sensitive beam move the same at any time, the axial displacement of the two ends of the sensitive beam is opposite, and the lateral displacement cancels out, and because the sensitive beam is thin enough, the mass blocks at both ends The bending moment of the sensitive beam is so small that it can be ignored, so the sensitive beam always meets the condition of pure axial deformation, and the strain energy of the sensitive beam is concentrated on the axial deformation, which greatly increases the sensitivity of the sensor.
进一步的,质量块上的豁口结构能够增加质量块之间,或质量块和芯片外框之间的距离,延长铰链梁或支撑梁的长度,增强质量块之间或质量块和芯片外框之间的连接力。Further, the gap structure on the mass block can increase the distance between the mass blocks, or between the mass block and the outer frame of the chip, extend the length of the hinge beam or the support beam, and strengthen the space between the mass blocks or between the mass block and the chip outer frame. connection force.

The present invention adopts the double mask layer on the back, and divides deep reactive ion etching in two steps to etch grooves with different depths on the back, so that the structure of the lower half of the Z support beam and the mass blocks and supports The structure of the lower half of the beam and the hinge beam is formed at the same time. At the same time, the device layer is first etched on the front side, then the buried oxide layer, and finally the base layer on the upper part of the Z-axis support beam is etched to form the overall structure of the support beam.

该传感器芯片的工作原理为:The working principle of the sensor chip is:
参照图5所示,由牛顿第二定律F=ma可得,当传感器芯片受到面内x方向的加速度ax作用时,X测量单元中的两个第一测量块2中的质量块由于惯性而发生面内移动,引起第一支撑梁1的变形,从而引起第一敏感梁4-1的变形,根据硅的压阻效应,第一敏感梁4-1上的压敏电阻在应力作用下发生阻值变化,其阻值变化率与其所受应力之间的关系如下:Referring to Fig. 5, by Newton's second law F=ma, when the sensor chip is subjected to the acceleration a x in the in-plane x direction, the mass blocks in the two first measuring blocks 2 in the X measuring unit are due to inertia In-plane movement occurs, causing deformation of the first support beam 1, thereby causing deformation of the first sensitive beam 4-1. According to the piezoresistive effect of silicon, the piezoresistor on the first sensitive beam 4-1 is under stress When the resistance value changes, the relationship between the resistance value change rate and the stress it receives is as follows:
其中:R为压敏电阻的初始阻值;Where: R is the initial resistance of the varistor;

σ为压敏电阻的应力;σ is the stress of the varistor;
ΔR为压敏电阻的阻值变化。ΔR is the resistance change of the piezoresistor.
此时,同一工作方向上的四个压敏电阻构成的半开环惠斯通全桥失去平衡,输出与外部加速度ax成正比的电信号,实现对加速度的检测。传感器的灵敏度S与外部加速度ax的关系如下式:At this time, the semi-open-loop Wheatstone full bridge composed of four piezoresistors in the same working direction loses balance, and outputs an electrical signal proportional to the external acceleration ax to realize the detection of acceleration. The relationship between the sensitivity S of the sensor and the external acceleration ax is as follows:
其中:Uout为惠斯通电桥的输出电压;Where: U out is the output voltage of the Wheatstone bridge;
E为硅的杨氏模量;E is the Young's modulus of silicon;
π为压阻系数;π is the piezoresistive coefficient;

ε为压阻微梁的应变;ε is the strain of the piezoresistive microbeam;
π44为剪切压阻系数;π 44 is the shear piezoresistive coefficient;
l为敏感梁的长度;l is the length of the sensitive beam;
Δl——敏感梁的轴向变形;Δl——the axial deformation of the sensitive beam;
当传感器芯片受到面内y方向的加速度ay作用时,此时Y测量单元中的两个第一测量块2中的第一质量块2-1和第二质量块2-2由于惯性而发生面内移动,传感器芯片的工作原理与灵敏度计算方法与上述传感器芯片受到加速度ax时相同,这里不再赘述。When the sensor chip is subjected to the acceleration a y of the in-plane y direction, the first mass 2-1 and the second mass 2-2 of the two first measurement blocks 2 in the Y measurement unit at this time occur due to inertia For in-plane movement, the working principle and sensitivity calculation method of the sensor chip are the same as when the sensor chip is subjected to the acceleration a x , and will not be repeated here.
参照图6,Z轴的工作原理与X、Y轴的工作原理基本相同,所不同的是当受到Z轴加速度时,第三质量块6-1和第四质量块6-2的内侧通过沿z方向的上下偏转来使敏感梁发生变形,且由于质量块的迂回式端部,使得中间两组敏感梁与外部两组敏感梁的变形状态相反;当外部两组的第二敏感梁4-2处于压缩状态时,中间两组第三敏感梁4-3处于伸长状态;四组敏感梁通过导线组成惠斯通电桥。Referring to Fig. 6, the working principle of the Z axis is basically the same as that of the X and Y axes, the difference is that when subjected to the acceleration of the Z axis, the inner sides of the third mass 6-1 and the fourth mass 6-2 pass along the The up and down deflection in the z direction deforms the sensitive beams, and due to the roundabout end of the mass block, the deformation states of the middle two groups of sensitive beams are opposite to those of the outer two groups of sensitive beams; when the second sensitive beams of the outer two groups are 4- 2 When it is in a compressed state, the middle two groups of third sensitive beams 4-3 are in an elongated state; the four groups of sensitive beams form a Wheatstone bridge through wires.
