Abstract

The invention provides a three-dimensional vacuum sensor and a manufacturing method of the three-dimensional vacuum sensor. A thermo-electric pile and a heater manufactured by adopting the method are located on different planes, and the thermo-electric pile is arranged on the heater, thus the miniaturization of the thermo-electric vacuum sensor can be further implemented. The shorter vertical distance between the micro heater to a substrate can be obtained by adopting a dry etching release structure through controlling the etching opening and the etching time, the pressure measurement upper limit of a heat conducting vacuum gauge can be improved, the problem of adhesion of a structural layer and the substrate can be avoided, and the rate of finished production of the devices can be improved. Due to the additional arrangement of a silicon cover plate, the thermal conductivity of the gas can be enhanced, and the sensitivity of the heat conducting vacuum gauge on the higher gas pressure end can be improved. In addition, the materials of the semiconductor substrate, the thermo-electric pile and the micro-heater and the preparation technology adopted in the invention are commonly used in the semiconductor process and can be easily compatible with the existing CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process.
