Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with this method is that the weighing of a small amount of heat release agent is difficult to accurately quantify because the amount required for a single cavity is extremely small.
In addition, it is very difficult to place a small amount of powder, and it is difficult to ensure accuracy, so the yield is not high
In the mass production process, the high-temperature heat release agent powder is easy to pollute the ultra-clean room, thus affecting the reliability of microelectronic devices

Abstract

The invention relates to the manufacturing technology of a microelectronic mechanical system and provides a manufacturing method for a size-controllable wafer level glass micro-cavity. The invention adopts the following technical scheme: the manufacturing method for the size-controllable wafer level glass micro-cavity comprises the following steps: etching on a silicon wafer to form a micro groove array; adding a sodium carbonate solution and a calcium chloride solution successively into the micro silicon groove, and steaming to finally obtain calcium carbonate; bonding a glass wafer with the silicon wafer under the vacuum condition or a certain pressure to seal the micro silicon groove; heating the bonded glass wafer and silicon wafer to be above the glass softening point temperature, thermally insulating, after glass corresponding to a sealed cavity body is formed by a positive pressure generated by gas discharged from the calcium carbonate in the micro groove, cooling to the normal temperature, and annealing; and removing the silicon wafer to obtain a wafer level spherical glass micro-cavity array. According to the manufacturing method, the content of the calcium carbonate can be accurately controlled, the glass micro-cavity with the size of ten submicrons and even submicron or the like can be manufactured, and an ultra-clean chamber is not influenced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micro-electromechanical system manufacturing technology, in particular to a method for preparing a size-controllable wafer-level glass microcavity. Background technique [0002] At present, glass microstructures have important applications in the fields of MEMS packaging, microfluidics and MOEMS (micro-optical electro-mechanical systems). The methods for preparing glass microcavities mainly include self-expansion method and positive pressure thermoforming method. For example, the University of California, Irvine uses self-expansion method to process glass microcavities. It requires a deep reactive ion etching process and a thickened silicon wafer, which is expensive. In addition, due to the small driving force, the adjustable range of the processed structure size is small. The applicant adopts a positive pressure thermoforming method to prepare a glass microcavity, and uses a high-temperature heat release agent powder to re...
