Embodiment 1

[0064] Such as Figure 1a~1g As shown, the present embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a membrane structure, and the method includes the following steps:

[0065] First perform step 1), provide a single crystal silicon wafer, deposit an insulating layer on the surface of the single crystal silicon wafer, etch the insulating layer to form a window, and etch the single crystal silicon wafer through the window Periphery, forming a release hole.

[0066] The specific steps can be as follows: Figure 1a As shown, a single crystal silicon wafer 1 is provided, a layer of TEOS insulating layer 4 is deposited on its surface, and the window of the release hole is etched by the RIE process, and then the single crystal silicon wafer 1 is etched by the Deep-RIE process to form the release hole. hole 30. In this embodiment, a P-type double-polished (111) single crystal silicon wafer is used, the thickness is 450 μm, and the axis offcut is 0±0.1°. The thickness of the TEOS ins...

Embodiment 2

[0084] This embodiment provides a membrane structure and a manufacturing method thereof, which are similar to the structure and method of the first embodiment. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the diaphragm 2 includes a lower polysilicon layer 7 and an upper silicon nitride layer 10, such as Figure 4 As shown, therefore, there are minor adjustments to the corresponding preparation methods. The production steps are as follows:

[0085] 1) providing a single crystal silicon wafer, forming a silicon nitride layer on the surface of the single crystal silicon wafer, and etching the periphery of the silicon nitride layer to form release holes;

[0086] 2) continue to etch the monocrystalline silicon wafer to the desired depth along the release hole;

[0087] 3) releasing the silicon nitride layer with an etching solution through the release hole;

[0088] 4) Depositing a polysilicon material, blocking the release hole, and simultaneously forming a pol...

Embodiment 3

[0091] This embodiment provides a pressure-sensitive membrane structure and its manufacturing method. On the basis of the membrane structure prepared in Example 1, further etching and thinning operations are performed, that is, on the basis of the manufacturing steps of the original membrane structure above, step 6) is added. Such as Figure 5a ~ Figure 5h Shown is the flow chart of making the pressure-sensitive membrane structure of this embodiment.

[0092] The increased step 6) is: as Figure 5h As shown, the monocrystalline silicon layer 6 is etched to expose the polysilicon layer 7 at the top of the etching chamber 8, the exposed polysilicon layer 7 forms the thin film 11, and the remaining unetched part forms The beam-island structures 12 , 13 and the outer frame 14 .

[0093] In this embodiment, the monocrystalline silicon layer 6 is etched by a Deep-RIE process, and finally only the lowermost polycrystalline silicon layer 7 is left as the thin film 11 .

[0094] It...

Abstract

The invention provides a diaphragm structure. The diaphragm structure at least comprises a diaphragm supported over a monocrystalline silicon wafer and releasing holes formed along the periphery of the diaphragm. The invention further provides a pressure sensitive film structure based on the diaphragm structure. The pressure sensitive film structure comprises a beam-island structure, an outer frame, a film, releasing holes formed along the outer frame and releasing holes distributed on an island. Due to the fact that the releasing holes of the diaphragm structure do not penetrate through the whole diaphragm area, the integrity and symmetry of the diaphragm are guaranteed, the better mechanical performance is achieved, various structures can be freely designed in the middle of the diaphragm without being limited by the releasing holes, and the wider application space is achieved. Due to the fact that the pressure sensitive film structure is formed by partially etching and thinning the diaphragm structure, the condition of forming releasing holes in the delicate film area is avoided, and the reliability is improved while the mechanical performance is improved. Meanwhile, by means of the releasing holes in the island, the corrosion time is significantly shortened, and the finished product rate is significantly increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silicon micromechanical sensors, in particular to a diaphragm structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of MEMS technology, silicon-based pressure sensors based on MEMS micromachining technology are widely used in aerospace, biochemical detection, medical instruments and other fields due to their small size and high performance. Especially in recent years, with the sudden emergence of electronic consumer products, such as: mobile phones, automotive electronics, wearable products, etc., the huge market demand for MEMS pressure sensors, the pressure sensor chip market competition has become increasingly fierce, which has prompted silicon-based pressure sensors along the It is developing in the direction of smaller size, lower cost and higher performance. [0003] As an important core detection unit of a silicon-based pressure sensor, the mechanic...
