Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an electromagnetic information regulation device based on a storage memory material, a manufacturing process thereof and a control method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of material science and electronic communication. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other fields brought by the popularization of 5G commercialization, the Internet data traffic is growing explosively, and higher and higher requirements are put forward for information transmission capacity and rate. According to the long-term mobile communication business demand in 2035, the communication network needs to support air, sky, land and sea integrated access, and the number of business access clients and data volume will increase significantly. The user experience rate that the future network can provide can reach 100Gbps, and the peak speed can exceed 1Tbps.

[0003] Wireless communication frequency band expands to millimeter wave terahertz, which can effectively improve data transmission bandwidth and reduce data transmission delay. However, one of the very serious problems brought by the expansion to high frequency band is the increase of power consumption of base station. According to the existing trend, according to the expert introduction of "2020 communication industry conference and the fifteenth communication technology annual meeting", after all base stations are upgraded to 5G by 2026, the power consumption will reach 2.1% of the total social power consumption, which is even higher than the power consumption level of data center (about 2%).

[0004] The current 5G mobile communication base station widely adopts MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) beamforming antenna technology, which transmits electromagnetic waves to users in a directional manner to improve communication speed and reduce energy loss caused by invalid electromagnetic transmission. Even so, a large amount of signal energy is absorbed by obstacles such as walls and trees. Referring to Figure 1 The intelligent metasurface RIS (Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface) attached to the outer wall of the building can reflect or transmit electromagnetic waves of the corresponding frequency band, and can also control the direction of the reflected or transmitted beam through algorithm, effectively improving the signal quality of the base station signal shadow area.

[0005] RIS refers to a two-dimensional layered material composed of artificial materials with a size smaller than the working wavelength, which can realize flexible regulation and control of electromagnetic wave propagation direction, amplitude, phase, polarization mode and propagation mode. Referring to Figure 2 The RIS unit module is composed of a metal structure printed on a dielectric substrate and a diode for regulating the phase of electromagnetic waves. According to the working frequency band and the requirements of reflection and transmission functions, the shape of the metal structure can be changed, but generally RIS can be divided into two types: reflective and transmissive.

[0006] AsFigure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the prior art RIS structure, active radio frequency switches or diode devices are combined with FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) for control, which not only leads to a large volume of RIS structure, but also makes it inconvenient to install and deploy on the building surface, and the manufacturing cost and power consumption are high, which is contrary to the original intention of energy saving and emission reduction. The above-mentioned shortcomings lead to the fact that RIS cannot be actually deployed on a large scale.

[0007] One important feature of the storage memory material (such as phase change material, ferroelectric material, etc.) is that after the change of its certain physical or chemical state, the subsequent state can still be maintained for a long time (such as the phase change material can maintain its phase state for 10 years) without power supply. Therefore, the radio frequency switch made of storage memory material has the advantage of long-term maintenance of its on-off state under the condition of no power supply. SUMMARY

[0031] The specific steps of the step 4) electrode making are:

[0032] Repeat the same process of gluing, exposing and removing glue as in 2) and 3), and then grow the metal tracks and electrodes on the wafer by evaporation or magnetron sputtering technology; remove all photoresist.

[0033] Preferably, the specific steps of the step 8) packaging are:

[0034] 8.1) Preheat the epoxy bonding glue at 50°C for 15 minutes;

[0058] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, an electromagnetic information control device based on storage memory material includes a dielectric substrate 200, a radio frequency switch assembly 300, a RIS unit 400, and a radio frequency control chip 500. In this embodiment, the radio frequency control chip is a semi-passive RFID chip EM4325. The dielectric substrate can be a rigid material PCB (Printed Circuit Board) substrate (made of fire-retardant materials such as Fr4 and Rogers and conductive metal copper or aluminum laminated together, with the main component of the fire-retardant material being glass-epoxy resin), or a flexible material substrate (including low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC), film, ordinary paper, etc.).

Figure 4The first metal bonding wire 601 is connected to the RIS unit lead position, the second metal bonding wire 602 is connected to the reactance element; the output end of the control electrode is interconnected through the metal trace 303; the input end of the control electrode is connected to the output port of the radio frequency control chip through the fourth metal bonding wire 604, and the output end of the control electrode is grounded through the third metal bonding wire 603; the antenna transceiving port of the radio frequency control chip 500 is connected with an antenna.

[0062] The storage memory material in the embodiment is a phase change material GeTe. As shown in Figure 7 At room temperature, the microstructure of GeTe exists in two states of crystalline and amorphous. When the material is heated, as shown in Figure 8 Under different annealing conditions, the phase state of the phase change material can be converted between the crystalline state and the amorphous state. When GeTe is in the crystalline state, the bulk resistance is small, and the on function of the switch can be realized; when GeTe is in the amorphous state, the bulk resistance is large, and the off function of the switch can be realized. The present application makes the phase change material or ferroelectric material into a radio frequency switch assembly 300 with a passive memory function, instead of a traditional active diode or phase shifter, for electromagnetic information regulation and control of the RIS. And the RIS unit made by the scheme has the characteristics of fast regulation and control speed, low power consumption, and easy miniaturization installation, which is conducive to large-scale popularization.
