Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an on-line testing technology of material parameters in a micro-electro-mechanical system, in particular to an on-line testing structure of the Seebeck coefficient of a polysilicon-metal thermocouple. Background technique
[0002] Thermocouples are widely used as a common heat sensor that effectively converts heat into voltage. Polysilicon and metal are the basic materials for the manufacture of microelectromechanical system devices. Using polysilicon-metal thermocouples for thermal sensing is a commonly used sensing technology in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).
[0003] The Seebeck coefficient is an important parameter to measure the sensitivity of the thermocouple, and its size is determined by the properties of the material forming the thermocouple. Because MEMS materials will be affected by the processing process and produce changes in material parameters, the designer needs to understand the real situation of the m...
