Embodiment 1

[0044] The structure diagram of this embodiment can be found in Figure 5 As shown, the specific production method is as follows:

[0045] 1. Selection of silicon substrate: choose a 4-inch silicon wafer with an N-type (110) surface as the substrate, with a resistivity of 1-10Ω·cm, and a silicon wafer thickness of 450±10 microns.

[0046] 2. Making stepped grooves: use silicon oxide as a mask, and form grooves with a series of steps through multiple times of silicon anisotropic dry etching. Silicon anisotropic dry etching can use DRIE (DeepReactive Ion Etching).

[0047] 3. Make a groove with a circular arc-shaped cross section: under the protection of silicon oxide, use the method of silicon isotropic dry etching to etch the stepped groove formed in step 2. At this time, the gas will Perform chamfer etching. The final groove depth is about 50 microns.

[0048] 4. Multiple oxidations to make the interior of the arc-shaped groove smoother: oxidize the silicon wafer after dr...

[0054] The structure diagram of this embodiment can be found in Figure 7 As shown, the specific production method is as follows:

[0055] 1. Selection of silicon substrate: select a 4-inch silicon wafer with a P-type (111) plane as the substrate, with a resistivity of 1-10Ω·cm, and a silicon wafer thickness of 450±10 microns.

Embodiment 3

[0064] The structure diagram of this embodiment can be found in Figure 8 As shown, the specific production method is as follows:

[0065] 1. Selection of silicon substrate: choose a 4-inch silicon wafer with an N-type (100) plane as the substrate, with a resistivity of 3-8Ω·cm, and a silicon wafer thickness of 350±10 microns.

[0066] 2. Making stepped grooves: use silicon oxide as a mask, and form grooves with a series of steps by multiple times of silicon anisotropic wet etching. There are many options for silicon anisotropic etchant, such as: KOH (potassium hydroxide), TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide), or EPW (ethylenediamine, catechol and water).

[0067] 3. Make a groove with a circular arc-shaped cross section: under the protection of silicon oxide, use the method of silicon isotropic dry etching to etch the stepped groove formed in step 2. At this time, the gas will Perform chamfer etching. The final groove depth is about 40 microns.

Abstract

The invention relates to a three-dimensional micro-heater comprising a circular arc-shaped heating film region with adjustable radian and a method, and the three-dimensional micro-heater is characterized in that the heating film region with the adjustable radian is connected with a substrate framework through a support over beam, the cross section of the heating film region is like a circular arc-shaped groove, the radian of the circular arc-shaped groove can be regulated through the etching method, heating resistance wires are arranged in the groove of the heating film region in the form of fold lines or curved lines and connected with an electrode on the substrate framework through a leading wire on the support over beam, and a thermal insulation cavity is arranged below the heating film region and the support over beam. The heating resistance wires of the heater are arranged in the circular arc-shaped groove of the central heating film region with a three-dimensional structure, thereby leading the heat loss caused by convection heat exchange to be small and effectively reducing the power consumption of the heater. The three-dimensional micro-heater can reduce the heat stress of the circular arc-shaped heating film region, improve the mechanical strength at high temperature, and regulate the radian of the heating film region to meet different applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a three-dimensional micro-heater with an adjustable arc-shaped heating film area and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of micro-processing technology, micro-heaters based on MEMS technology have begun to be widely used in the fields of gas detection, environmental monitoring and infrared heat sources. Due to the continuous promotion and deepening of applications, the requirements for low power consumption, low cost, high performance and high reliability of micro heaters are also increasingly strong. How to make a heater with low power consumption and high performance has always been the goal pursued by those skilled in the art. [0003] At present, micro-heaters based on silicon substrates can be divided into two types from the supporting membrane structure, namely closed membrane type and suspended mem...
