Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of microelectronic packaging, in particular to an array type pressure measuring device. 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, stress and strain will be introduced during the assembly process of the device, affecting the performance of the piezoresistive sensitive chip. Due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the piezoresistive sensitive chip and other components of the device, the piezoresistive sensitive chip forms a complex heat conduction path with the external environment when it is working. The heat of the chip itself and the temperature field of the environment in which the device is located cause the temperature state of the piezoresistive sensitive chip to change, and the thermal stress and strain will also change. These factors cause performance drift and are difficult to accurately predict, which restricts the long-term stability and comprehensive accuracy of the product. To solve this problem, on the one hand, it is necessary to control the stress generated during the assembly process, and on the other hand, it is necessary to accurately control the stress and temperature distribution state of the chip during the working process, or accurately obtain its state changes, and solve it through subsequent circuit system compensation methods. In the representative technical solutions currently disclosed, the pressure gauge chip is assembled on the ceramic sheet-PCB circuit board-metal plate stack, supplemented by adhesive materials, to solve the stress and strain problems in the assembly process and the stress problems caused by the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients, and the working state temperature of the piezoresistive sensitive chip is obtained by assembling a temperature sensor mounted on the circuit board; however, the thermodynamic properties of the ceramic sheet-PCB stack are complex, and the temperature sensor assembled on the circuit board cannot accurately characterize the temperature state of the piezoresistive sensitive chip in the working state, especially the temperature state of the piezoresistive sensitive strip, which limits the accuracy of temperature compensation. In addition, other problems with the current device are that it is difficult to maintain the chip level, and it is usually impossible to disassemble and maintain or replace a single chip in the pressure measurement device.

[0042] See also Figure 1-13 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0043] Array pressure measurement device and integrated assembly method Figure 1 As shown, the pressure measuring device mainly includes a piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 , a circuit system 100 and a gas circuit system 200 .

[0044] refer to Figure 2-4 The piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 is a silicon substrate. A piezoresistive strip 001, a passivation layer 002 and a Pad 003 are formed on the front of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 through processes such as epitaxy, oxidation, diffusion and sputtering. An open cavity 004 is formed on the back of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 through an etching process. Pad 004 includes at least one power pad, one ground pad and two signal pads. A reference pressure P1 is applied to the front of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000, and the external gas pressure P2 is applied to the open cavity 004 on the back of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 through the gas path system 200. The pressure difference between the two ends of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 is converted into an electrical signal proportional to the pressure change through the circuit system 100 and processed and calculated.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the piezoresistive sensing chip further includes an absolute pressure piezoresistive sensing chip. The absolute pressure piezoresistive sensing chip is formed by evacuating the open cavity on the back of the piezoresistive sensing chip 000a, and then bonding another silicon wafer to the back of the piezoresistive sensing chip to seal the open cavity. The air pressure in the open cavity on the back of the absolute pressure piezoresistive sensing chip is zero and cannot be adjusted.

[0046] refer to Figure 5-6 The circuit system 100 includes a piezoresistive sensing chip 000, a temperature sensor chip 101, an instrument amplifier circuit 102, an ADC 103 module and an MCU 104, etc.; the piezoresistive sensing chip 000 and the temperature sensor chip 101 are integrated on a first circuit chip 110 by wire bonding, and the instrument amplifier circuit 102, the ADC 103 module and the MCU 104, etc. are integrated on a second circuit chip 120 by wire bonding or mounting; the first circuit chip 110 and the second circuit chip 120 are stacked and placed in parallel, and the two are interconnected by a hose line or a pin header 105; the signal generated by the piezoresistive sensing chip 000 due to the pressure difference is amplified by the instrument amplifier circuit and enters the ADC module, then enters the MCU processing unit, and finally enters the visual interface for processing and calculation.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first circuit chip 110 integrates a 4x8 array of piezoresistive sensing chips 000a, and the number of piezoresistive sensing chips 000a can be further expanded according to demand to add more channels; optionally, the first circuit chip 110 can also integrate a temperature sensor chip 101 for real-time detection of the temperature of the piezoresistive sensing chip 000;

[0048] Preferably, the temperature sensor 101 is implemented by a piezoresistive sensitive chip 000b, see Figure 3When the piezoresistive sensitive chip is used for implementation, the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000b is directly bonded to the boss 217 of the first alloy substrate 210 by packaging glue. The boss 217 is provided with a gas channel, one end of which is connected to the back cavity 004 of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000b, and the other end is connected to the working cavity of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000b, that is, the front open cavity 213 of the first alloy substrate 210, so that the pressure difference on both sides of the membrane surface of the piezoresistive sensitive chip is set to zero, and no deformation will be generated, so that the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000b always maintains a zero-point output state, and the change in resistance only reflects its temperature change; 000b has the same working voltage conditions as other piezoresistive sensitive chips 000, and works at the same time. When the temperature of the environment in which the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000a is located 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 piezoresistive strip 000b can be extracted by testing for evaluation and characterization, which is used for device temperature compensation and improves the temperature measurement accuracy used for temperature compensation.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the height of the boss 217 is determined according to the difference between the thickness of the first circuit chip 110 and the thickness of the piezoresistive sensor chip 000, so that the height difference between the front surface of the piezoresistive sensor chip 000 and the upper surface of the first circuit chip 110 is less than 200 microns.

[0050] refer to Figure 7-13 The gas path system 200 is sealed and connected in sequence by the back cavity 004 of the piezoresistive sensitive chip, the first alloy substrate 210 with gas-conducting holes, the second alloy substrate 220, and the third alloy substrate 230; wherein the first alloy substrate 210 has gas-conducting holes 211 running through the front and back sides and a reference pressure gas path 212 for setting the reference pressure; the second alloy substrate 220 has gas-conducting holes 221 running through the front and back sides and a reference pressure gas path 222 for setting the reference pressure; wherein the gas-conducting holes 221 are divided into a calibration path 221a, a test path 221b, and a temperature control path 221c, and the calibration path 221a and the temperature control path 221c are combined into a first path; the third alloy substrate 230 has gas-conducting holes 231 running through the front and back sides and a reference pressure gas path 232 for setting the reference pressure; in addition, the back side of the third alloy substrate 230 also has a calibration conversion path inlet 233 and a temperature control conversion path inlet 234. The second alloy substrate 220 is mobile and can be switched between the calibration passage 221a and the test passage 221b or between the temperature control passage 221c and the test passage 221b. A sealing ring 201 is provided between the alloy substrates to ensure the sealing of the gas path system.

[0051] In the calibration mode, external air enters from the calibration conversion channel inlet 233 of the third alloy substrate 230, passes through the air guide port 231, enters the calibration passage 221a of the second alloy substrate 220, then enters the air guide hole 211 of the first alloy substrate 210, and finally enters the back cavity 004 of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 attached to the upper part of the first alloy substrate 210.

[0052] In the test mode, external air enters through the multiple air holes 231 of the third alloy substrate 230, passes through the test passage 221b of the second alloy substrate 220, enters the air holes 211 of the first alloy substrate 210, and finally enters the back cavity 004 of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 attached to the upper part of the first alloy substrate 210. Each piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 can be measured individually.

[0053] In the temperature control mode, the external gas enters from the temperature control conversion channel inlet 234 of the third alloy substrate 230, passes through the air guide port 231, enters the temperature control passage 221c of the second alloy substrate 220, and then enters the air guide hole 211 of the first alloy substrate 210, and finally enters the back cavity 004 of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 attached to the upper part of the first alloy substrate 210; the external gas can be selected as a cooling medium such as nitrogen or helium; the temperature control mode can be turned on at the same time in the test mode.

[0054] In the reference pressure setting mode, external gas enters from the reference pressure gas path 232 of the third alloy substrate 230, passes through the reference pressure gas path 222 of the second alloy substrate, enters the reference pressure gas path of the first alloy substrate, and finally enters the back cavity 004 of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 attached to the upper part of the first alloy substrate 210, completing the reference pressure setting of the piezoresistive sensitive chip.

[0055] The device first works in the calibration mode. The calibration conversion channel inlet 233 is connected to a high-precision air pressure calibration source. The reference air pressure is set at a fixed air pressure value. The device is placed in a device that can accurately control the temperature and gradually adjusts the input air pressure value. Each piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 signal is amplified by the instrument amplifier circuit 102, and the ADC103 module converts it into a digital signal and transmits it to the MCU104. Synchronously, the temperature sensor 101 signal is amplified and converted into a digital signal by ADC103 and transmitted to the MCU104. The MCU104 module will record the calibration air pressure input and temperature, and form a fitting relationship between each pressure sensitive chip 000 and temperature output and the air pressure input and temperature setting value under different temperature conditions, and store it.

[0056] In the test mode, the second alloy substrate 220 is moved to the test passage 221b, each piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 corresponds to a single air guide hole one by one, and the reference air pressure is set to a stable value as needed. The external air pressure input generates a pressure difference at both ends of the piezoresistive sensitive chip 000 and the temperature sensor 101 obtains a signal, which is amplified by the instrument amplifier circuit 102 and converted by ADC103 and obtained by MCU104. The MCU104 module will automatically find the fitting relationship between the output of each pressure sensitive chip 000 and the air pressure input under this temperature condition according to the temperature sensor 101 signal, and use the fitting relationship to obtain the voltage signal output value of each pressure sensitive chip 000.

[0057] During the test, according to the application scenario requirements, cooling gas can be input into the temperature control passage 221c to maintain the temperature field of the piezoresistive sensor chip 000.
