Abstract

A method for protecting a metal electrode during SOI MEMS sacrificial layer etching comprises the steps of conducting photoetching on the surface of an SOI silicon wafer structural layer, and manufacturing the metal electrode with the stripping technology; sputtering metallic aluminum on the surface of the SOI silicon wafer structural layer; conducting photoetching on the surface of the SOI silicon wafer structural layer to define an MEMS structural pattern; etching metallic aluminum exposed from the surface of the SOI silicon wafer structural layer; conducting DRIE anisotropic etching deep into an insulating layer by means of the metallic aluminum and a photoresist mask; etching the insulating layer for structure release; removing photoresist on the SOI silicon wafer structural layer through acetone soaking; etching aluminum on the surface of the SOI silicon wafer structural layer; conducting cracking, packaging and testing. According to the method, sacrificial layer etching is achieved by means of a glycerinum, HF and NH4F mixed solution, the metal electrode is protected through aluminum, sacrificial layer etching time can be prolonged remarkably, technology flexibility is improved, and the completeness of the metal electrode is higher.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-machining of micro-electro-mechanical systems, and in particular relates to a method for protecting metal electrodes when an SOI MEMS sacrificial layer is corroded. Background technique [0002] In recent years, SOI technology has made great progress, and its application in the MEMS field has the following advantages: the monocrystalline silicon structure layer has excellent mechanical properties; the SiO2 buried oxide layer as a sacrificial layer and insulating layer has excellent corrosion stop capability, In MEMS processing, it is easy to obtain a complete, defect-free, uniform thickness and precisely controlled structural layer; the thickness of the structural layer can be increased; the all-silicon structure is compatible with the CMOS process and can be integrated with denser circuits. At present, SOI MEMS mainly adopts two kinds of processes: front-side release process and back-side release p...
