Description

一种联动接触电容式加速度敏感芯片及其制造方法A linkage contact capacitive acceleration sensitive chip and its manufacturing method

技术领域technical field

本发明主要涉及一种联动接触电容式加速度敏感芯片及其制造方法,属于微机电系统(MEMS)领域。The invention mainly relates to a linkage contact capacitive acceleration sensitive chip and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).

背景技术Background technique

随着MEMS技术的发展,加速度计成为各行业中不可缺少的关键器件,已被广泛应用于汽车电子,工业控制,生物医学和国防军工等领域。相比于压阻式加速度传感器,电容式加速度传感器具有灵敏度高、功耗低、温度特性好等优势,更加适合研制高精度加速度传感器,特别是在现代航空航天技术和现代国防装备等方面对加速度测量精度和可靠性要求日益增加的背景下,MEMS电容式加速度传感器的研究受到国内外高度重视。With the development of MEMS technology, accelerometers have become an indispensable key device in various industries, and have been widely used in automotive electronics, industrial control, biomedicine, and defense and military industries. Compared with piezoresistive acceleration sensors, capacitive acceleration sensors have the advantages of high sensitivity, low power consumption, and good temperature characteristics, and are more suitable for the development of high-precision acceleration sensors, especially in modern aerospace technology and modern defense equipment. Under the background of increasing measurement accuracy and reliability requirements, the research of MEMS capacitive accelerometer has been highly valued at home and abroad.

目前,主流的电容式加速度传感器通常采用“梳齿式”和“三明治式”结构。这两种敏感结构主要是通过改变电极板之间间距引起电容变化实现加速度检测,其输入与输出信号之间非线性严重,通常需要控制质量块的位移来获得一段相对较线性的工作区域,但范围却比较小,线性度也有进一步提升的空间,且存在电容变化量小的缺点,不仅给后续处理电路带来很大的困难,同时也影响器件的精度和灵敏度。为提高电容式加速度传感器的性能,本发明提出了一种接触电容式加速度敏感结构,其是通过改变上、下极板的相互接触面积实现加速度测量。该结构的特点在于:在上极板上制作金属层增加上极板质量,使得上极板的形变对外界加速度作用更加敏感,且结构中下极板为悬空可动;在未受到加速度作用时,由于敏感结构腔体内部与外界存在气压差,上极板与下极板已经处于相互接触状态;当有加速度作用于敏感结构时,上、下极板之间的接触面积会发生变化,输出电容以两极板间的接触电容为主,在此过程中,下极板也随上极板的运动发生形变并起到调节的作用,形成联动的效果,使得接触面积以一个近乎常数的速率改变,因此输出电容值会与加速度变化呈现近似线性关系,传感器表现出优越的线性度和更高的输出电容值,从而解决普通电容式加速度传感器输入与输出之间线性度差、电容变化量小等问题。At present, the mainstream capacitive acceleration sensors usually adopt the "comb type" and "sandwich type" structures. These two sensitive structures mainly realize acceleration detection by changing the capacitance change caused by the change of the distance between the electrode plates. The nonlinearity between the input and output signals is serious, and it is usually necessary to control the displacement of the mass block to obtain a relatively linear working area. The range is relatively small, the linearity has room for further improvement, and there is a shortcoming of small capacitance change, which not only brings great difficulties to the subsequent processing circuit, but also affects the accuracy and sensitivity of the device. In order to improve the performance of the capacitive acceleration sensor, the present invention proposes a contact capacitive acceleration sensitive structure, which realizes the acceleration measurement by changing the mutual contact area of the upper and lower pole plates. The characteristics of this structure are: the metal layer is made on the upper plate to increase the mass of the upper plate, so that the deformation of the upper plate is more sensitive to the external acceleration, and the lower plate in the structure is suspended and movable; , due to the pressure difference between the inside of the sensitive structure cavity and the outside world, the upper plate and the lower plate are already in contact with each other; when an acceleration acts on the sensitive structure, the contact area between the upper and lower plates will change, and the output The capacitance is mainly based on the contact capacitance between the two pole plates. During this process, the lower pole plate also deforms and adjusts with the movement of the upper pole plate, forming a linkage effect, so that the contact area changes at a nearly constant rate. , so the output capacitance value will show an approximate linear relationship with the acceleration change, the sensor shows superior linearity and higher output capacitance value, so as to solve the problem of linearity difference between the input and output of ordinary capacitive acceleration sensor, small capacitance change, etc. question.

该结构可采用SOI材料,并利用干法刻蚀和硅硅直接键合技术的方法来实现。SOI硅片的顶层硅薄膜厚度的精度可控制在几纳米以内,因此采用SOI材料的硅薄膜来制备敏感结构的上、下极板,将显著提高极板厚度的精确性。硅硅直接键合技术是指通过化学和物理的作用将硅片与硅片、氧化片等材料紧密地结合起来的方法,可实现对SOI硅片顶层单晶硅薄膜的完美转移,使上下极板的制造工艺更加便于控制、易于实现,并可通过控制键合腔室的气压,来精确设置敏感结构腔体的内部气压。The structure can be realized by using SOI material and using dry etching and silicon-silicon direct bonding technology. The thickness of the top layer of the SOI silicon wafer can be controlled within a few nanometers. Therefore, the use of the SOI material silicon film to prepare the upper and lower plates of the sensitive structure will significantly improve the accuracy of the plate thickness. Silicon-silicon direct bonding technology refers to a method of closely combining silicon wafers with silicon wafers, oxide wafers and other materials through chemical and physical effects, which can realize the perfect transfer of the single crystal silicon film on the top layer of SOI silicon wafers. The manufacturing process of the board is more controllable and easy to implement, and the internal air pressure of the sensitive structure cavity can be precisely set by controlling the air pressure of the bonding chamber.

正是在这种研究背景下,本发明提出了一种联动接触电容式加速度敏感芯片及其制造方法。It is under this research background that the present invention proposes a linked contact capacitive acceleration sensing chip and a manufacturing method thereof.

本发明的设计原理:The design principle of the present invention:

本发明提出了一种联动接触电容式加速度敏感结构,主要由硅衬底、下极板、介质层、上极板及金属层构成。结构中上、下极板均为可动结构,其下极板设置于预先刻蚀好凹槽的单晶硅衬底上,相对于单晶硅衬底悬空可动,在下极板上方设置有氮化硅介质层并刻蚀有通孔;上极板与衬底上的凹槽之间构成密封腔体,腔体内部与外界存在气压差,在上极板上制作金属层增加上极板质量,使得上极板的形变对外界加速度作用更加敏感;两极板通过压焊点与外部电路连接,将加速度信号转换成电容信号输出。该结构是通过改变上、下极板的相互接触面积实现加速度测量,在未受到加速度作用时,由于敏感结构腔体内部与外界存在气压差,上极板与下极板已经处于相互接触状态;当有加速度作用于敏感结构时,上、下极板之间的接触面积会发生变化,输出电容以两极板间的接触电容为主,在此过程中,下极板也随上极板的运动发生形变并起到调节的作用,形成联动的效果,使得接触面积以一个近乎常数的速率改变,因此输出电容值会与加速度变化呈现近似线性关系,传感器表现出优越的线性度和更高的输出电容值,从而解决普通电容式加速度传感器输入与输出之间线性度差、电容变化量小等问题。The invention proposes a linked contact capacitive acceleration sensitive structure, which is mainly composed of a silicon substrate, a lower electrode plate, a dielectric layer, an upper electrode plate and a metal layer. In the structure, the upper and lower electrode plates are both movable structures, and the lower electrode plate is arranged on the single crystal silicon substrate with grooves etched in advance, and is suspended and movable relative to the single crystal silicon substrate. The silicon nitride dielectric layer is etched with through holes; a sealed cavity is formed between the upper plate and the groove on the substrate, and there is a pressure difference between the inside of the cavity and the outside world, and a metal layer is made on the upper plate to increase the upper plate The quality of the upper plate makes the deformation of the upper plate more sensitive to the external acceleration; the two plates are connected to the external circuit through the pressure welding point, and the acceleration signal is converted into a capacitance signal for output. This structure realizes the acceleration measurement by changing the mutual contact area of the upper and lower plates. When the acceleration is not applied, the upper plate and the lower plate are already in mutual contact due to the pressure difference between the inside of the sensitive structure cavity and the outside world; When acceleration acts on the sensitive structure, the contact area between the upper and lower plates will change, and the output capacitance is dominated by the contact capacitance between the two plates. During this process, the lower plate also follows the movement of the upper plate. It deforms and acts as an adjustment, forming a linkage effect, so that the contact area changes at a nearly constant rate, so the output capacitance value will have an approximate linear relationship with the acceleration change, and the sensor shows superior linearity and higher output Capacitance value, so as to solve the problems of poor linearity and small capacitance change between the input and output of ordinary capacitive acceleration sensors.

本发明所述的制造方法主要是利用硅硅直接键合、干法刻蚀等MEMS技术,将SOI基片与衬底硅片制成联动接触电容式加速度敏感芯片。衬底上的凹槽采用干法刻蚀制成,凹槽深度由所设计下极板的悬空高度决定;上、下极板均采用SOI基片的硅薄膜结合硅硅直接键合技术制成,在制作上极板时,控制键合设备键合腔室的气压来设置敏感结构腔体内部的气压,保证腔体内部与外界存在气压差,使得敏感芯片在未受到加速度作用时,上极板与下极板上的介质层已经处于一定程度的接触状态。The manufacturing method of the present invention mainly utilizes MEMS technologies such as silicon-silicon direct bonding, dry etching, etc., to make the SOI substrate and the substrate silicon chip into a linkage contact capacitive acceleration sensitive chip. The grooves on the substrate are made by dry etching, and the depth of the grooves is determined by the suspended height of the designed lower plate; the upper and lower plates are both made of SOI substrate silicon film combined with silicon-silicon direct bonding technology , When making the upper plate, control the air pressure of the bonding chamber of the bonding equipment to set the air pressure inside the cavity of the sensitive structure to ensure that there is a pressure difference between the inside of the cavity and the outside world, so that the upper pole of the sensitive chip is not affected by acceleration. The plate is already in a certain degree of contact with the dielectric layer on the lower plate.
