Abstract

A manufacturing process of a three-layer continuous surface MEMS deformable mirror based on a bonding process, which mainly includes dry etching a release hole on the upper surface of an SOI wafer, partially releasing the middle oxide layer of the SOI wafer, and performing a process on the lower surface of the SOI wafer. Wet etching, and deposit metal on another substrate (silicon wafer or glass) as an electrode structure, and finally bond the substrate with the SOI wafer. It is characterized in that the bulk silicon micromachining process and the surface micromachining process are combined, and the upper two-layer structure obtained by the bulk silicon process is bonded with the lower electrode structure layer obtained by surface micromachining to obtain a three-layer micromechanical structure. . The invention is a three-layer continuous surface MEMS deformable mirror based on a bonding process, and its manufacturing process is relatively easy, which solves the disadvantage that the traditional continuous surface micromechanical deformable mirror is difficult to process through three-layer surface micromachining, and the processing The deformable mirror can obtain a large out-of-plane displacement, and eliminate the defect of short circuit caused by electrostatic pull-in by adding a silicon nitride insulating layer, and can be widely used in the fields of optical communication and adaptive optics.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of micro-opto-electromechanical systems, in particular to a manufacturing process of a three-layer continuous surface MEMS deformable mirror based on a bonding process suitable for an adaptive optical system. Background technique [0002] In the field of adaptive optics, electrostatically driven MEMS deformable mirrors have the advantages of small size, low power consumption, fast response, mass production, and good compatibility with integrated circuits, so they are favored in adaptive optics systems. The existing electrostatically driven MEMS deformable mirrors are generally processed by surface micromachining technology, which is difficult to process; and to obtain a large stroke, such as a stroke greater than 4 microns, due to the influence of the electrostatic pull-in effect, the stroke of the driver cannot If it exceeds one-third of the initial plate spacing, the thickness of the sacrificial layer need...
