Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of microelectronic packaging, and in particular to an array-type pressure measuring device based on a ceramic substrate. Background Art

[0002] Array-type multi-channel pressure measurement devices are widely used in wind tunnel tests or flight tests, and can realize multi-channel rapid measurement of pressure. Among them, MEMS piezoresistive sensitive chips are the core components of pressure measurement devices, which have a decisive influence on the overall performance of pressure measurement devices. At present, the comprehensive performance improvement of array-type multi-channel pressure measurement devices faces some core problems that need to be solved and optimized. First, the integration and assembly of multi-channel pressure test circuit systems are complex, the interconnection distance between the core chip-MEMS piezoresistive sensitive chip and the subsequent processing circuit is far, and the integration is low. In the representative technical solutions currently disclosed, the pressure gauge bare chip is assembled on the ceramic sheet-PCB circuit board-metal plate stack, and the bare chip input and output are gradually led out to the ceramic sheet through wire bonding, and then to the PCB circuit board, and finally handed over to the amplifier, digital-to-analog conversion and other modules assembled on the PCB board for signal processing, which limits the number of pressure measurement channels per unit area. Secondly, the stress and strain introduced during the assembly process of the MEMS piezoresistive sensitive chip device, the thermal stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between it and other components of the device, and the uneven temperature distribution field, etc., lead to performance drift and difficult prediction, which restricts the long-term stability and comprehensive accuracy of the product. Finally, in the current technical solutions, the working temperature of the piezoresistive sensitive chip is generally obtained by a temperature sensor assembled on a circuit board or by using a temperature sensor integrated on the surface of the MEMS piezoresistive sensitive chip. Since the MEMS piezoresistive sensitive chip is in a material system with multiple thermodynamic properties and there is self-heating in its working state, this causes the temperature state of the piezoresistive sensitive strip to be difficult to test and characterize. The temperature sensor assembled on the circuit board cannot accurately characterize the temperature state of the piezoresistive sensitive strip of the piezoresistive sensitive chip in the working state, which limits the accuracy of temperature compensation.

The signal generated by the pressure difference of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 is amplified by the instrument amplifier circuit and enters the ADC module module, then enters the MCU processing unit, and finally enters the visual interface processing.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ceramic circuit sheet 100 is provided with air-conducting holes 104 therein. The air-conducting holes 104 penetrate the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic circuit sheet 100 and are used to conduct air flow.

The microchannel 106 is provided with a first inlet 106a and a first outlet 106b on the lower surface of the ceramic circuit chip 100, respectively. The microchannel structure is used to pass a cooling medium to cool the circuit. In one embodiment of the present invention, the cooling medium can be deionized water, 3M HFE-7100, etc.;

[0048] The flow guide structure 105 is used to evenly distribute the cooling medium to the microchannel 106, reduce the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the microchannel, and reduce the power loss of the pump. The microchannel 106 is provided with a boss 107 to wrap the air guide holes 104 in the ceramic circuit chip 100, so that the cooling system is isolated from the gas path system. The microchannel 106 is also provided with different flow channel configurations 108, and the flow channel configuration 108 can be parallel straight lines, rectangles, cylinders, S shapes, etc., to enhance the heat dissipation effect.

Preferably, at least one piezoresistive sensitive chip 000c is also provided in the piezoresistive sensitive chip array integrated in the ceramic circuit chip 100 for real-time and accurate extraction of the temperature of the piezoresistive sensitive chip piezoresistive resistor strip for temperature compensation. Figure 4The piezoresistive sensitive chip 000c is integrated in the cavity 101 of the ceramic circuit chip 100. The cavity 101 is provided with a gas channel, one end of which is connected to the back cavity 004 of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000c, and the other end is connected to the working cavity of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000c, that is, the cavity 101 on the surface of the ceramic circuit chip 100. The pressure difference on both sides of the membrane surface of the piezoresistive sensitive chip is set to zero, so that the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000c always maintains a zero-point output state. The working voltage conditions of 000c and other piezoresistive sensitive chips 000 are consistent, and they work at the same time. When the temperature of the environment changes and the temperature changes due to the thermoelectric effect of the piezoresistive strip 001 on the surface of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000, the resistance change of the 000c piezoresistive strip can be extracted by testing for evaluation and characterization, which is used for device temperature compensation and can greatly improve the temperature measurement accuracy used for temperature compensation.
