Abstract

The invention discloses a capacitive pressure sensor used for measuring pressure and a manufacturing method of the capacitive pressure sensor. According to the manufacturing method, by utilization of a surface silicon micro-machining technology, a silicon oxide sacrificial layer is deposited on a silicon substrate, and then a polycrystalline silicon film is deposited on the sacrificial layer to serve as a pressure sensitive film. The sacrificial layer is partially corroded to form a capacitance gap through sacrificial layer release holes formed in the polycrystalline silicon sensitive film. The sacrificial layer release holes in the polycrystalline silicon sensitive film are further filled through another deposition of a polycrystalline silicon film, and thus a sealed cavity is formed. At last, a gas vent hole is corroded in the polycrystalline silicon sensitive film again and sealed through metal with a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, and thus a vacuum is formed in the sealed cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a capacitive pressure sensor and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the field of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors. Background technique [0002] A pressure sensor is a transducer that converts a pressure signal into an electrical signal, and is an important part of a commercial sensor. Like other electronic components, with the popularity of applications and the increase in demand, the development trend of pressure sensors is small size, high sensitivity, low power consumption, low price, and high reliability. [0003] At present, MEMS technology is promoting the transformation of "Beyond Moore's Law" in the semiconductor industry, and has developed rapidly at home and abroad. The world is going through the age of vacuum tubes yesterday, and is entering the MEMS era of tomorrow across the current era of solid-state electronics. As a high-tech developed rapidly in recent years, MEMS adopts advanced semic...
