Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to the field of micromirror detection technology, and more particularly to a micromirror packaging structure with a diaphragm deflection angle feedback structure and its packaging process. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, micromirrors are a type of micro / nano chip that can effectively control optical paths and are widely used in projection, imaging, laser navigation, and other fields. The most commonly used micromirrors include electrostatic, electromagnetic, piezoelectric, and electrothermal types. Most currently used micromirrors employ capacitive sensing for angle feedback. However, a drawback is that the sensing electrodes generate a large amount of stray signals during the sensing process, affecting the accuracy of the capacitive sensing and leading to delayed feedback.

[0003] In summary, this application proposes a micromirror packaging structure with diaphragm deflection angle feedback and its packaging process to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The purpose of one or more embodiments of this specification is to propose a micromirror packaging structure with a diaphragm deflection angle feedback structure and its packaging process, to eliminate stray signals, improve detection accuracy, and provide good conditions for subsequent compensation.

[0005] Based on the above objectives, one or more embodiments of this specification provide a micromirror packaging structure with a diaphragm deflection angle feedback structure, comprising: a micromirror having a front side and a back side, the front side having a diaphragm and the back side having a back cavity; a substrate, the back side of the micromirror being fixedly connected to the substrate; a first detection electrode, the first detection electrode being attached to a plane of the diaphragm near the substrate; a second detection electrode, the second detection electrode being fixed to the surface of the substrate; wherein the first detection electrode and the second detection electrode are both located inside the back cavity of the back side of the micromirror; and a shielding mechanism, the shielding mechanism comprising: a shielding electrode, the shielding electrode being attached to a plane of the diaphragm near the substrate, the shielding electrode being sleeved outside the first detection electrode; wherein the first detection electrode, the shielding electrode, and the second detection electrode are all electrically connected to the substrate.

[0006] The micromirror packaging structure with diaphragm deflection angle feedback structure proposed in this embodiment of the invention forms a capacitor between the detection electrode and the diaphragm. According to the capacitance formula, the capacitance C = ε·A / d (where ε is the dielectric constant, A is the area of ​​the capacitor, and d is the distance between the detection electrode and the diaphragm). When the diaphragm vibrates and deflects at an angle, the distance between the diaphragm and the detection electrode can be estimated by detecting the capacitance between the diaphragm and the detection electrode, and thus the deflection angle of the diaphragm can be estimated. This feedback provides feedback on the deflection state of the diaphragm, enabling timely compensation of the diaphragm when abnormal deflection occurs, thereby more quickly eliminating the influence of diaphragm abnormalities. The shielding electrode surrounding the first detection electrode can effectively eliminate stray signals during the capacitance detection process and improve detection accuracy.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] The following is based on Figures 1-8 The specific structure of the micromirror packaging structure in the embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] The micromirror packaging structure with diaphragm deflection angle feedback structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a micromirror 1, a substrate 2, a first detection electrode 3a, a second detection electrode 3b, and a shielding mechanism.

[0028] The micromirror 1 has a front and a back side, with a diaphragm 14 on the front side and a back cavity on the back side. The surface of the substrate 2 is bonded to the back side of the micromirror 1. A first detection electrode 3a is attached to the surface of the diaphragm 14 near the substrate 2 and is electrically connected to the substrate 2. A second detection electrode 3b is bonded to the surface of the substrate 2 and corresponds to the position of the first detection electrode 3a, such as... Figure 1-3As shown. The first detection electrode 3a and the second detection electrode 3b form a capacitor. During the vibration of the diaphragm 14, according to the capacitance formula, the capacitance C = ε·A / d, where ε is the dielectric constant, A is the area of ​​the capacitor, and d is the distance between the detection electrode and the diaphragm 14. The distance d changes continuously, so the capacitance C changes continuously. By monitoring the capacitance C, the distance d can be estimated, and then the deflection angle of the micromirror diaphragm 14 can be estimated, determining whether the deflection of the diaphragm 14 is abnormal, thus providing conditions for subsequent compensation. The shielding mechanism includes a shielding electrode 6, which is attached and fixed to the surface of the diaphragm 14 near the substrate 2. The shielding electrode 6 is sleeved outside the first detection electrode 3a and surrounds the first detection electrode 3a. This shields the detection capacitor of the first detection electrode 3a and the second detection electrode 3b from stray signals, improving the detection accuracy of the capacitance. Optionally, the micromirror packaging structure also includes a support member 7, which is bonded to the substrate 2. The second detection electrode 3b is disposed on the support member 7, shortening the distance between the first detection electrode 3a and the second detection electrode 3b, thereby improving the sensitivity of capacitance detection. Optionally, the support member 7 is a low-resistivity silicon pillar, and the second detection electrode 3b is bonded to the substrate 2. The second detection electrode 3b does not require separate wiring for electrical connection with the substrate 2, simplifying the packaging process. Figure 4-5 As shown. Optionally, the shielding mechanism further includes a metal frame 5 and a metal shielding shell 4. The metal frame 5 is sleeved on the outer wall of the substrate 2 and is electrically connected to the substrate 2. The metal shielding shell 4 has a front and a back facing each other, with a receiving cavity on the back. The back of the metal shielding shell 4 is fixedly connected to the metal frame 5, and the micromirror 1 is located inside the receiving cavity, as shown. Figure 6-8 As shown, the metal shielding shell 4 and the metal frame 5 form an outer shielding layer, which further eliminates stray signals during the capacitance detection process and improves the detection accuracy.

[0037] S7, the second wire 13b passes through the second through hole 11b and is electrically connected to the second detection electrode 3b and the second solder joint 12b respectively.

[0038] S8, a substrate 2 is bonded and fixed to the back of the micromirror 1.

[0039] S9, the second detection electrode 3b is bonded and fixed on the surface of the substrate 2.

[0040] S10, a first pad 21a and a second pad 21b are formed on the surface of the substrate 2. The first pad 21a is electrically connected to the first solder joint 12a, and the second pad 21b is electrically connected to the second solder joint 12b.
