[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] The embodiment of the present invention provides a surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a sensor module 11 and an antenna module 12 electrically connected to each other. The antenna module 12 includes a first high temperature resistant substrate 13 and a patterned antenna 14 formed on the surface of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13. A groove 15 is formed on the first surface A of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13, and the sensor module 11 is fixed in the groove 15.
[0032] Specifically, Figure 1 The first surface A of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 is shown. Figure 2 The second surface B of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 is shown, and patterned antennas (17, 21, 22) are formed on both surfaces. A groove 15 is formed on one side of the patterned antenna 14 and close to the first surface A of the patterned antenna 14, and a sensor module 11 is fixed in the groove 15. The metal wires (161, 162) between the groove 15 and the patterned antenna 14 are used to electrically connect the sensor module 11 and the patterned antenna 14 in the antenna module 12.
[0033] In the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor provided by the embodiment of the present invention, since the patterned antenna of the antenna module is formed on the surface of the first high temperature resistant substrate, and a groove is also formed on the first surface of the substrate, the sensor module is fixed in the groove and electrically connected to the antenna module, so that the sensor module and the antenna module form a whole, compared with the prior art, the volume is greatly reduced, and the wireless passive monitoring of temperature in a high temperature and small space can be better realized. Moreover, the sensor module can be integrated in the antenna module, and this structure is more convenient for batch processing.
[0034] In addition, the antenna module uses a high temperature resistant substrate, which can significantly improve the high temperature resistance of the entire temperature sensor.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 may be a high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) substrate, which is a new type of high thermal conductivity substrate and packaging material, having the characteristics of high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, high dielectric constant, etc. The antenna module prepared with this material has excellent high temperature resistance.
[0036] In addition, according to the antenna resonant frequency formula: f r ≈c / [2L(ξ r ) 1 / 2 ], where c is the speed of light in a vacuum, L is the length of the rectangular patch of the antenna, ξ r is the relative dielectric constant of the substrate material. From the formula, we know that the resonant frequency is inversely proportional to the dielectric constant. Therefore, using a HTCC substrate with a high dielectric constant can reduce the resonant frequency. Moreover, when the resonant frequency remains unchanged, the length of the rectangular patch can be reduced.
[0037] In the prior art, antennas mostly use printed circuit boards as substrates. Since the dielectric constant of the ceramic substrate is much higher than that of the printed circuit board, the embodiment of the present invention can effectively reduce the size of the antenna.
[0038] In the above-mentioned surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, the patterned antenna can be as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a first bottom plate 17 located on the first surface A of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13, a second bottom plate 21 located on the second surface B of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 opposite to the first surface A, and an inverted F antenna 22, and the first bottom plate 17 and the second bottom plate 21 are electrically connected through a through hole C on the first high temperature resistant substrate.
[0039] The inverted F antenna 22 is shaped like an inverted letter "F", and includes a first horizontal branch 221, a second horizontal branch 222 and a vertical branch 223. The first horizontal branch 221 is connected to the second base plate 21, and is electrically connected to the ground terminal 18 of the first surface A through the through hole C on the first high temperature resistant substrate 13. The second horizontal branch 222 is electrically connected to the feeding terminal 19 of the first surface A through the through hole C on the first high temperature resistant substrate 13, and the vertical branch 223 is arranged around the second base plate 21.
[0040] It should be noted that the feeding terminal 19 and the grounding terminal 18 are formed simultaneously with the first base plate of the first surface A, and are also part of the patterned antenna 14 .
[0041] The inverted F antenna has a low-profile structure, and the radiation field has both horizontal and vertical polarizations. Due to its compact structure and isotropic radiation characteristics, its good grounding design can effectively improve the working efficiency of the antenna and increase the transmission distance.
[0042] The end of the vertical branch 223 of the inverted-F antenna can be as follows Figure 2 As shown, it can also be Figure 3 As shown, it is connected to the second bottom plate B through a matching inductor 31. In order for the patterned antenna to obtain the highest transmission frequency, the impedance of the patterned antenna needs to match the impedance of the signal source end. If the impedance matching is not done well, a part of the power will be reflected back to the signal source end, thereby reducing the transmission power of the patterned antenna. The impedance of the RF signal source end is mostly 50Ω. For the designed patterned antenna, the impedance is not 50Ω. At this time, a matching inductor 31 needs to be connected in series to obtain impedance matching. .
[0043] The patterned antenna in the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor provided by the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above structure, and any other patterned antenna that can realize the function of transmitting and receiving electromagnetic wave signals can be used in the present invention.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the sensing module 11 of the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor may include a second high temperature resistant substrate 41 and an interdigital transducer 42 and a reflective grating 43 formed on the surface of the second high temperature resistant substrate 41. When the external temperature changes, the material properties of the second high temperature resistant substrate 41 change due to the change of thermal stress, resulting in a slight change in the distance from the interdigital transducer 42 to the reflective grating 43, and a slight change in the interdigital spacing of the interdigital transducer 42, thereby affecting the propagation speed of the surface acoustic wave. The sensing characteristics of the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor are represented by the resonant frequency, and the shift of the resonant frequency can represent the change of temperature, so wireless passive measurement of temperature can be achieved.
[0045] The second high temperature resistant substrate 41 is mostly made of a lanthanum gallium silicate substrate, and of course other materials known to those skilled in the art may also be used.
[0046] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for preparing a surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, which comprises the following steps.
[0047] Step 1: Prepare Figure 1 to Figure 4 The sensor module 11 is shown.
[0048] Step 2: Prepare Figure 1 to Figure 4 The antenna module 12 shown includes a first high temperature resistant substrate 13 , a patterned antenna 14 formed on the surface of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 , and a groove 15 formed on the first surface A of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 .
[0049] Step three: fix the sensor module 11 in the groove 15 .
[0050] Step 4: electrically connect the sensor module 11 and the antenna module 12.
[0051] In the method for preparing the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor provided by the embodiment of the present invention, since the patterned antenna of the antenna module is formed on the surface of the first high temperature resistant substrate, and a groove is also formed on the first surface of the substrate, the sensor module is fixed in the groove and electrically connected to the antenna module, so that the sensor module and the antenna module form a whole, compared with the prior art, the volume is greatly reduced, and the wireless passive monitoring of temperature in a high temperature and small space can be better realized. Moreover, the sensor module can be integrated in the antenna module, and this structure is more convenient for batch processing.
[0052] In addition, the antenna module uses a high temperature resistant substrate, which can significantly improve the high temperature resistance of the entire temperature sensor.
[0053] In the above method, the method for preparing the sensor module 11 is as follows Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps may include the following steps.
[0054] 601 . Coat a photoresist 61 on the second high temperature resistant substrate 41 .
[0055] First, pretreatment can be performed, and the surface of the second high-temperature resistant substrate 41 (which can be a lanthanum gallium silicate substrate) is cleaned with acetone, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water, and blown dry with nitrogen. Then, a layer of positive photoresist 61 is evenly applied on the surface of the cleaned second high-temperature resistant substrate 41 using a photoresist spreader, and post-baking is performed to fully volatilize the organic solvent in the photoresist 61 to improve the quality of photolithography.
[0056] 602. Photolithography the photoresist 61 using a sensor mask.
[0057] 603 . Develop the photoresist to form a patterned photoresist 62 .
[0058] The sensor mask plate engraved with the interdigital electrodes and the reflective grating can be photolithographically processed using an ultraviolet lithography machine, and the second high temperature resistant substrate 41 after photolithography is developed in a matching developer of the positive photoresist 61 to remove the excess photoresist and leave the patterned photoresist 62 with the interdigital electrodes and the reflective grating pattern.
[0059] 604 . Form a metal layer 63 on the surface of the patterned photoresist 62 .
[0060] Platinum metal may be sputtered on the surfaces of the interdigital electrodes and the reflective grid by using a magnetron sputtering method, and other metal materials known to those skilled in the art may also be used.
[0061] 605 , removing the patterned photoresist 62 to form an IDT 42 and a reflective grating 43 on the surface of the second high temperature resistant substrate 41 .
[0062] The patterned photoresist 62 can be removed by acetone, the interdigital electrodes form the interdigital transducer 42, and the remaining parts form the reflective grating 43, and finally the structure is formed as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The surface acoustic wave temperature sensor shown. Figure 6 Only a portion of the interdigital transducer 42 and a portion of the reflection grating 43 are shown.
[0063] 606 . Depositing a protective film 64 on the surface of the second high temperature resistant substrate 41 .
[0064] Afterwards, a pulsed laser deposition system can be used to plate a 200 nm aluminum oxide film on the surface of the fabricated surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, with the parameters set at a substrate temperature of 200° C., a vacuum environment, a laser intensity of 500 mJ, and a frequency of 3 Hz.
[0065] In a high temperature environment, the exposed interdigital electrodes and reflective grids may aggregate, crack, or even break. Therefore, depositing an aluminum oxide film on the interdigital electrodes and reflective grids can prevent these phenomena from occurring.
[0066] In the above-mentioned method for preparing the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, the method for preparing the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 in the antenna module 12 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included.
[0067] 501. Cut the alumina green porcelain tape to obtain M green porcelain tape membranes of the same size.
[0068] The alumina green porcelain tape can be cut into 8×8 inch green porcelain tape membrane sheets 51, the protective film can be removed, and the surface of the green porcelain tape membrane sheets 51 can be cleaned by air shower or the like.
[0069] 502. A positioning hole 52 for positioning and a through hole C for lead connection are made on the green porcelain tape diaphragm.
[0070] A laser drilling machine can be used to drill positioning holes 52 and through holes C for lead connection at the four corners of the alumina green ceramic tape diaphragm 51 , and the green ceramic tape diaphragm can be accurately placed on the lamination mold through the positioning holes 52 .
[0071] It should be noted that the figure corresponding to step 502 to step 506 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of M pieces of green porcelain tape membranes stacked together, and Figure 1 and Figure 2 Since the number of M is different in different application scenarios, the figure does not show each piece of raw porcelain tape membrane, but shows M pieces of raw porcelain tape membrane as a whole.
[0072] 503. Fill the through hole C with metal.
[0073] 504. An opening D for forming a groove 15 is made on N pieces of raw porcelain tape diaphragms among the M pieces, and the M pieces of raw porcelain tape diaphragms are stacked according to the positioning holes 52 in a manner that N pieces of raw porcelain tape diaphragms are stacked at the bottom and the remaining pieces of raw porcelain tape diaphragms are stacked at the top; the opening D is filled with a sacrificial layer material 53, and then the stacked M pieces of raw porcelain tape diaphragms are laminated and cut to form an antenna base blank sample 54.
[0074] The number of M can be 8, the number of N can be 4, and an opening D needs to be set on the four raw porcelain tape diaphragms placed on the lower layer. The size of the opening D can be 0.9cm×0.7cm×0.5mm (slightly larger than the sensor module 11). During the lamination process, it is necessary to fill the opening with a sacrificial layer material 53 to prevent the cavity from collapsing during the subsequent lamination process. According to the debonding time and thickness of the raw porcelain tape diaphragm, a carbon film can be selected as the sacrificial layer material 53 to fill the cavity. The stacked raw porcelain tape diaphragms 51 are sealed using vacuum packaging technology and laminated. The lamination temperature is set to 75°C, the pressure is set to 21MPa, and the pretreatment and lamination times are both set to 10 minutes. After lamination, the raw porcelain tape diaphragms are physically bonded to form a whole. Thereafter, the laminated raw porcelain tape is cut into a sample to form an antenna blank sample 54.
[0075] 505 . Sinter the antenna substrate blank 54 to volatilize the sacrificial layer material 53 to form a first high temperature resistant substrate 13 having a groove 15 .
[0076] The antenna base blank sample 54 is placed on an alumina ceramic sintering plate and covered with a hollow thin ceramic plate to prevent the antenna base blank sample 54 from warping during sintering. The antenna base blank sample 54 is placed in a muffle furnace and a sintering curve is set. During the sintering process, organic matter is discharged and the carbon film 53 is volatilized. The carbon film 53 is drained before the ceramic forms a dense base structure. Grooves are formed on the antenna base blank sample 54, and the ceramic particles in the antenna base blank sample 54 are tightly bonded by an inorganic adhesive to form a dense ceramic base structure.
[0077] In the method for preparing the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, the method for forming the patterned antenna 14 on the surface of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure corresponding to step 506 in , it specifically includes the following steps.
[0078] Step 1: depositing metal slurry on the surface of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 using a screen printing template.
[0079] Step 2: Sintering the first high temperature resistant substrate 13 at high temperature to form a patterned antenna 14.
[0080] Specifically, a customized screen printing template can be used to deposit platinum paste on the surface of the first high temperature resistant substrate 13. Since the platinum paste contains a large amount of binder and impurities, the organic solvent evaporates and is discharged during the high temperature sintering process, and the platinum paste forms a conductor, thereby forming a patterned antenna 14.
[0081] In the method for preparing the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, the method for fixing the sensor module 11 in the groove 15 may include the following steps.
[0082] Step 1: Coat the bottom of the groove 15 with alumina high temperature ceramic glue.
[0083] Step 2: Place the sensor module 11 in the groove 15 so that the bottom of the sensor module 11 without a device formed thereon is bonded to the bottom of the groove 15 .
[0084] In the method for preparing the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor, the method for electrically connecting the sensor module 11 and the antenna module 12 can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included.
[0085] The feeding terminal 19 and the grounding terminal 18 of the patterned antenna 14 are respectively welded to the electrode ports of the sensor module 11 by using metal wires (161, 162).
[0086] The electrode ports of the sensor module 11 are ports of two electrodes on the interdigital transducer. The feeding terminal 19 and the grounding terminal 18 of the patterned antenna 14 are formed on the first surface A at the same time as the first base plate 17 is formed.
[0087] The method for preparing the surface acoustic wave temperature sensor may further include: sintering the sensing module 11 and the antenna module 12 at high temperature.
[0088] Specifically, alumina high-temperature ceramic glue is used to fix the sensor module 11. In addition, metal platinum slurry is used to electrically connect the sensor module and the antenna module. Therefore, by placing the device in a muffle furnace for sintering, the high-temperature ceramic glue and the platinum slurry are sintered at high temperature, making the high-temperature glue tightly bonded and making the platinum slurry conductive.
[0089] like Figure 7 As shown, it is a simulation curve of the graphic antenna in the antenna module provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The simulation curve is generated after testing using HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) software. By analyzing the simulation curve, it can be seen that the resonant frequency of the graphic antenna provided by the embodiment of the present invention is 750MHz, and the S11 parameter can meet the performance requirements. The return loss of the graphic antenna at the center frequency is -19.5dB, indicating that the antenna has good performance.
[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
