Problems solved by technology

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects that the square vibrating membrane produced by the existing manufacturing process has a large stress at the sharp corner, which leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the microphone and even an aging crack, thereby providing a circular isolation layer and a circular diaphragm. A microphone chip with an air gap; and a microphone chip with high sensitivity using two different film materials as a circular ring isolation layer and a circular sacrificial layer and a preparation method thereof

Abstract

The method includes following steps: diffusing boron on front face of n- type silicon base plate to form p+ type doped layer; then depositing silicon dioxide on the said doped layer; then forming isolation layer through etching and eroding; attaching a diaphragm layer, depositing metal aluminum film on diaphragm layer and quadrate aluminum electrode; there is a layer of protective film made from silicon nitride on back face of silicon base plate; eroding a trape notch on underside of silicon base plate till p+ type doped layer, and eroding upwards to form acoustics hole perforated through back board; there is a air gap between the perforated back board and diaphragm layer made from silicon nitride. The method for fabricating chip of microphone is simple. The chip includes circular isolation layer and circular sacrificial layer made from different metal materials. Circular structure reduces stress of diaphragm, raises sensitivity of diaphragm so as to avoid aging cracking.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of a silicon microcapacitance microphone, in particular to an improved microphone chip structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The silicon microcapacitor microphone is composed of a silicon chip part and a peripheral circuit part forming a silicon microcapacitor, wherein the silicon chip part consists of a silicon substrate and a perforated (acoustic hole) backplane, air gap, isolation layer, vibrating membrane, and metal film. and metal electrodes. The usual silicon microcapacitor microphone is limited by the production method, and the air gap, isolation layer, and diaphragm are generally square, such as Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), 1998 IEEE11th International Workshop p580-585, by P.-C. As described in "A HIGH SENSITIVITY POLYSILICON DIAPHRAGM CONDENSERMICROPHONE" by Hsu, C.H. Mastrangelo, and K.D. Wise. When making the silicon microcapacitor microphone, the ...
