Description
技术领域technical field
本申请涉及磁传感器领域,具体地涉及一种基于长方体硅基通孔的三维磁传感器以及一种基于长方体硅基通孔的三维磁传感器的制造方法。The present application relates to the field of magnetic sensors, in particular to a three-dimensional magnetic sensor based on a rectangular parallelepiped silicon-based through-hole and a manufacturing method of the three-dimensional magnetic sensor based on a rectangular parallelepiped silicon-based through-hole.
背景技术Background technique
磁传感器能够感知与磁现象有关的物理量的变化,并将其转变为电信号进行检测,从而直接或间接地探测磁场大小、方向、位移、角度、电流等物理信息。传统的磁传感器为基于霍尔效应的电流器件,具有体积大、功耗高、灵敏度低、测量范围小等缺陷,其原理和制造技术的缺陷限制了应用范围。Magnetic sensors can sense changes in physical quantities related to magnetic phenomena and convert them into electrical signals for detection, thereby directly or indirectly detecting physical information such as magnetic field size, direction, displacement, angle, and current. The traditional magnetic sensor is a current device based on the Hall effect, which has defects such as large volume, high power consumption, low sensitivity, and small measurement range. The defects of its principle and manufacturing technology limit the scope of application.
AMR(Anisotropy Magnetoresistance,各向异性磁阻)磁电阻效应是指铁磁材料的电阻率随自身磁化强度和电流方向夹角改变而变化的现象。在AMR磁传感器中,器件的磁阻率正比于磁性材料磁化方向与电流方向夹角余弦的平方,磁电阻极值与外磁场之间具有对应关系,因此AMR磁传感器可用于测量外磁场的大小。与基于霍尔效应的传感器相比,AMR磁传感器具有灵敏度较高、体积小、功耗低、可靠性高等优点,应用更广泛。AMR (Anisotropy Magnetoresistance, anisotropic magnetoresistance) magnetoresistance effect refers to the phenomenon that the resistivity of ferromagnetic materials changes with the change of its own magnetization and the angle between the current direction. In the AMR magnetic sensor, the reluctance of the device is proportional to the square of the cosine of the angle between the magnetization direction of the magnetic material and the current direction, and there is a corresponding relationship between the extreme value of the magnetoresistance and the external magnetic field, so the AMR magnetic sensor can be used to measure the size of the external magnetic field . Compared with sensors based on the Hall effect, AMR magnetic sensors have the advantages of higher sensitivity, small size, low power consumption, and high reliability, and are more widely used.
现有的AMR磁传感器为多层薄膜结构,受限于结构和材料特性,薄膜材料的磁化方向通常平行于衬底平面(X-Y),因此传感方向通常也平行于衬底平面,一般仅能对平面内磁场形成有效探测,难以实现Z轴方向传感。The existing AMR magnetic sensor is a multi-layer thin film structure, limited by the structure and material properties, the magnetization direction of the thin film material is usually parallel to the substrate plane (X-Y), so the sensing direction is usually parallel to the substrate plane, generally only Effective detection of in-plane magnetic fields is difficult to achieve Z-axis direction sensing.

现有的AMR磁传感器为多层薄膜结构,在平行于薄膜平面的磁场作用下,AMR磁性多层薄膜结构中至少有一层磁膜的磁化方向随磁场的大小而改变,磁传感器的磁阻率正比于磁性材料磁化方向与电流方向夹角余弦的平方。由于在磁性薄膜材料中垂直于薄膜平面的退磁场比平面内退磁场大几个数量级,因此薄膜材料的磁化方向通常平行于衬底平面(X-Y),传感方向通常也平行于衬底平面,仅能探测到平面方向(X轴和Y轴)的磁场分量,难以探测到Z轴方向的磁场大小。The existing AMR magnetic sensor is a multilayer thin film structure. Under the action of a magnetic field parallel to the plane of the film, the magnetization direction of at least one layer of magnetic film in the AMR magnetic multilayer thin film structure changes with the size of the magnetic field. The magnetic resistance of the magnetic sensor It is proportional to the square of the cosine of the angle between the magnetization direction of the magnetic material and the current direction. Since the demagnetization field perpendicular to the film plane in the magnetic film material is several orders of magnitude larger than the demagnetization field in the plane, the magnetization direction of the film material is usually parallel to the substrate plane (X-Y), and the sensing direction is usually parallel to the substrate plane. It can detect the magnetic field components in the plane direction (X-axis and Y-axis), but it is difficult to detect the magnetic field in the Z-axis direction.
针对上述问题,本申请实施例中提供了基于长方体硅基通孔的三维磁传感器,包括长方体硅基底和三个薄膜磁阻单元,三个薄膜磁阻单元分别形成于长方体硅基底的三个相邻面的表面。三个薄膜磁阻单元通过长方体硅基底内部的硅通孔导线相互连接,所述硅通孔导线从长方体硅基底的三个相邻面垂直延伸到长方体硅基底内部进行连通;三个薄膜磁阻单元均设置有金属电极,所述硅通孔导线与三个薄膜磁阻单元的金属电极形成为一体。本申请在长方体硅基底的三个相邻面形成薄膜磁阻单元,通过硅通孔技术在长方体硅基底内部形成与三个薄膜磁阻单元的金属电极连接为一体的硅通孔导线,通过硅通孔导线实现三个薄膜磁阻单元的电气互联,集成度高、可靠性强。本申请基于长方体硅基底的三个垂直的面,通过三个面上的磁阻单元实现对X、Y、Z三维磁场的探测,灵敏度高。In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a three-dimensional magnetic sensor based on a cuboid silicon-based through hole, including a cuboid silicon substrate and three thin film magnetoresistive units, and the three thin film magnetoresistive units are respectively formed on three phases of the cuboid silicon substrate. adjacent surface. The three thin film magnetoresistive units are connected to each other through silicon vias inside the rectangular parallelepiped silicon substrate, and the silicon through silicon vias extend vertically from three adjacent surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped silicon substrate to the interior of the rectangular parallelepiped silicon substrate for communication; the three thin film magnetoresistive The units are all provided with metal electrodes, and the TSV wires are integrated with the metal electrodes of the three thin film magnetoresistive units. In this application, thin-film magnetoresistive units are formed on three adjacent surfaces of a rectangular parallelepiped silicon substrate, and a through-silicon via wire connected to the metal electrodes of the three thin-film magnetoresistance units is formed inside the rectangular parallelepiped silicon substrate through silicon via technology.

The extension lines of the substrate can intersect vertically, and the intersection point is determined. The time of ion etching can be determined according to the intersection point. By precisely controlling the time of ion etching, through-silicon holes are formed inside the cuboid silicon substrate to achieve different surface interconnection of the upper metal electrodes.

在另一实施例中,在三个薄膜磁阻单元的表面利用光刻定义出硅通孔开口的位置,采用深反应离子刻蚀(DRIE)技术,在硅通孔开口的位置刻蚀形成硅通孔开口,对硅通孔开口进行深度刻蚀形成延伸至长方体硅基底内部的硅通孔,并使对应的硅通孔相互连通。在硅通孔内填充导电材料形成相互连接的硅通孔导线,通过硅通孔导线实现三个薄膜磁阻单元的电气连接。In another embodiment, the opening positions of the TSVs are defined by photolithography on the surface of the three thin film magnetoresistive units, and deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) technology is used to etch the opening positions of the TSVs to form silicon Through-hole openings, deep etching is performed on the openings of the through-silicon holes to form through-silicon holes extending to the inside of the cuboid silicon substrate, and make the corresponding through-silicon holes communicate with each other.

本申请在长方体硅基底的三个相邻面形成薄膜磁阻单元,通过硅通孔技术在长方体硅基底内部形成与三个薄膜磁阻单元的金属电极连接为一体的硅通孔导线,通过硅通孔导线实现三个薄膜磁阻单元的电气互联,集成度高、可靠性强。由于长方体硅基底为一整块的实体结构,其相邻平面角度可做到严格的相互垂直,直接在实体硅基底表面生长磁性材料形成薄膜磁阻单元,无需使用额外的粘接材料,因此在热扰动下形变均匀,在振动或冲击条件下仍能保持优良的结构强度;在实体硅基底内部形成硅通孔导线实现薄膜磁阻单元的电气连接,而不是通过传统导线连接,因此磁传感器的灵敏度和精度更高。In this application, thin-film magnetoresistive units are formed on three adjacent surfaces of a rectangular parallelepiped silicon substrate, and a through-silicon via wire connected to the metal electrodes of the three thin-film magnetoresistance units is formed inside the rectangular parallelepiped silicon substrate through silicon via technology. The through-hole wire realizes the electrical interconnection of the three thin film magnetoresistive units, which has high integration and high reliability. Since the cuboid silicon substrate is a solid structure, the angles of its adjacent planes can be strictly perpendicular to each other, and the magnetic material can be directly grown on the surface of the solid silicon substrate to form a thin film magnetoresistive unit without using additional bonding materials. The deformation is uniform under thermal disturbance, and the excellent structural strength can still be maintained under vibration or shock conditions; through-silicon via wires are formed inside the solid silicon substrate to realize the electrical connection of the thin film magnetoresistive unit instead of the traditional wire connection, so the magnetic sensor Higher sensitivity and precision.
