Problems solved by technology

[0005] The existing preparation process is complicated, the processing is difficult, and the yield is low
Usually only circular cross-sections can be obtained, even if the cross-sectional shape can be controlled, it still depends on sophisticated etching equipment and complex process parameters
In addition, if the process parameters are changed, it may also lead to poor flatness of the inner wall of the flow channel

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a masking microstructure, and belongs to the technical field of microelectronic mechanical systems. The method comprises the following steps: preparing a silicon dioxide mask of which thickness is 1 to 2mu m on the surface of a silicon substrate, patterning the mask, and deeply etching silicon to form a micro-groove or micro-opening structure; carrying out surface passivation for the micro-groove or micro-opening structure; removing a bottom passivation layer of the micro-groove or micro-opening structure by etching, and pre-etching the bottom of the micro-groove or micro-opening structure; next, continuously carrying out isotropic etching to form a microstructure; then, removing the mask on the surface of the silicon substrate and the passivation layer on the side wall of the micro-groove or micro-opening structure; and backfilling the microstructure to form the masking microstructure. The method uses the thick mask to well protect the surface of the silicon substrate so as to avoid the phenomenon of pinholes and under etching. Because the isotropic etching of the masking microstructure is carried out after the pre-etching, the section shape of the masking microstructure can be controlled, the complex process parameter adjustment is avoided, and the dependency on precision etching equipment is also avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology of a silicon process, in particular to a method for preparing a masked microstructure. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic system is an important branch of the MEMS field, which is widely used in the fields of microelectronics, micromechanics and bioengineering. Its design idea is to realize complex fluid control operations by constructing microfluidic channels. In the existing processing technology, the method of combining side wall passivation and plasma etching can be used to process the micro flow channel or micro chamber structure covered under the surface of the substrate. The processing flow of masking microchannels is roughly divided into: surface silicon oxide, silicon nitride mask growth, microgroove etching, sidewall passivation, and microchannel etching. The advantage of this type of preparation process is that after the flow channel is completed, the surfa...
