Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microelectromechanical technology, and particularly relates to an all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope structure and its manufacturing method. Background Technology
[0002] Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) gyroscopes offer advantages such as mass production and low cost, along with small device size and low power consumption, leading to significant success in the consumer market. However, the reduction in size results in decreased sensitivity and increased noise levels, making it difficult for non-modally matched MEMS gyroscopes to achieve the required accuracy for navigation-grade applications. Disk-resonant gyroscopes (DRGs), composed of multiple concentrically connected rings, increase the device's resonant quality. Their axisymmetric structure effectively reduces the impact of external shocks, vibrations, and accelerations. Furthermore, similar to hemispherical resonant gyroscopes, DRGs operate in a modally matched state. Low-vacuum sealing amplifies the mechanical gain, improving the system's signal-to-noise ratio and potentially achieving navigation-grade accuracy.
[0003] To achieve high sensitivity and low noise, resonant ring gyroscopes require vacuum packaging to achieve a high quality factor. Stanford University uses a self-developed wafer-level epitaxial sealing process (epi-seal), which can achieve a vacuum level in the range of ~0.25 Pa. However, this method uses surface silicon processing, which limits the device thickness due to the process, and the suspended device is susceptible to electrostatic friction, limiting its widespread adoption. Boeing and the National University of Defense Technology initially used chip-level vacuum packaging, but this method was costly and not conducive to mass production. Subsequently, they adopted a wafer-level sealing method with lateral electrode leads, which leads the electrodes to the edge of the device by routing them through the substrate or cover layer. This method results in an uneven bonding interface due to the lead layer within the sealing ring, requiring high bonding strength. The glass-silicon-glass three-layer structure uses an anodic bonding wafer-level sealing method, with the electrodes led out through glass vias (TGV). However, due to the thermal mismatch between the glass and silicon materials, the device performance is greatly affected by temperature. In addition, axisymmetric structures have extremely high requirements for the fabrication of structural patterns. Non-uniformity in photolithography and etching will lead to structural deviations and affect device performance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems in the background art by proposing an all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope structure and its manufacturing method. This solution features a simple and easy-to-implement bonding scheme and convenient signal extraction.

[0062] The technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the silicon structure layer 1 of the all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope is supported by a central anchor point 2 and consists of multiple concentric rings 4 of different radii that are interconnected. The rings 4 are connected by spokes 3. The movable structure includes the rings 4 and the spokes 3. The movable structure is surrounded by arc-shaped discrete electrodes 5. Additional structures 6 are connected between the rings, and the additional structures 6 are anchored vertically. The movable structure of the all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope is axially symmetrically distributed and operates in either an n=2 goblet-shaped mode or an n=3 mode.
[0064] Figure 2 The first mode 101 and the second mode 102 of the n=2 goblet-shaped all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope are shown. The gaps between the movable structure and the additional structure 6, and between the movable structure and the arc-shaped discrete electrode 5 are the same, ensuring uniform heat dissipation of the movable structure during dry etching and improving etching uniformity.
[0065] The silicon structural layer 1, the silicon through-hole layer 11, and the silicon cover layer 8 are bonded together to achieve device sealing. Figure 4 A side view of an all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope structure is shown.
[0066] The silicon structure layer 1 and the through-silicon via layer 11 are connected by silicon-silicon bonding. Capacitor gaps 13, movable structural support anchors 14, additional structural anchors 15 of the silicon structure layer, and electrode hole bonding anchors are fabricated on the through-silicon via layer 11. A through-silicon via 18 is etched on the other side of the through-silicon via layer 11. The arc-shaped discrete electrode 5 is led out through the through-silicon via 18 on the through-silicon via layer 11.
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the anchor point 9 of the additional structure of the silicon cover layer and the anchor point 10 of the silicon cover layer sealing ring correspond to the positions of the additional structure 6 and the sealing ring 7 of the silicon structural layer. They are sealed and electrically interconnected through bonding, and grounded, thus reducing parasitic effects and providing electrostatic shielding. The silicon wafer used to manufacture the silicon cover layer 8 is low-resistivity silicon, typically with a resistivity of 0.001 Ω·cm to 0.1 Ω·cm. The bonding method between the silicon cover layer 8 and the silicon structural layer 1 can be wafer-level bonding and sealing methods that enable electrical connections, such as direct silicon-silicon bonding, Au-Au thermocompression bonding, Au-Si eutectic bonding, and Cu-Cu thermocompression bonding. The all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope structure can withstand higher temperatures, has lower device stress, and better temperature characteristics.

[0087] In addition to the above implementation examples, without considering the thin-film getter, the silicon capping layer 8 with bonding metal 23 and the silicon structural layer 1 can be directly vacuum-sealed and bonded, such as... Figure 6 As shown.
[0088] This invention provides an all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope whose silicon structure layer consists of multiple concentric rings of different radii that are interconnected. The rings are connected by spokes, which are symmetrically distributed circumferentially and supported by a central anchor point. Additional structures exist between the rings and are anchored to the underlying silicon via layer structure. It operates in an n=2 wine glass or n=3 mode. The outermost ring consists of arc-shaped discrete electrodes. The ring structure pattern is identical to the spacing between the additional structures and electrodes, ensuring uniform heat dissipation during dry etching and improving etching uniformity. The silicon structure layer, silicon via layer, and silicon capping layer are bonded separately to achieve device sealing. The silicon structure layer and silicon via layer are connected via silicon-to-silicon bonding. Silicon vias are etched on the silicon via layer, and electrodes are used to extract signals through these vias. The silicon capping layer structure corresponds to the sealing ring and additional structures of the structure layer, and is electrically interconnected and grounded.
[0089] The number of concentric rings typically ranges from 5 to 30, with the width of the rings being the same or different. The spacing between the concentric rings, i.e., the spokes, is evenly distributed along the circumference, and the lengths of the spokes connecting the rings can be the same or different. The number of outer electrodes can vary from 8 to 24, and their functions include first-mode excitation, first-mode detection, second-mode excitation, second-mode detection, and tuning. The cover layer silicon is low-resistivity silicon, typically with a resistivity of 0.001 Ω·cm to 0.1 Ω·cm. The bonding methods between the silicon cover layer and the structural layer can be wafer-level bonding and sealing methods that enable electrical connections, such as direct silicon-silicon bonding, Au-Au thermocompression bonding, Au-Si eutectic bonding, and Cu-Cu thermocompression bonding. The all-silicon structure can withstand higher temperatures, has lower device stress, and exhibits better temperature characteristics.
[0090] This invention provides an all-silicon resonant ring gyroscope structure and its manufacturing method. The structure facilitates signal extraction via silicon through-holes, has low requirements for sealing bonding, and offers a variety of bonding methods. The internal gap of the resonant ring is minimized by arranging additional structures to ensure uniformity between the ring, the additional structures, and the electrodes, thus improving the uniformity of the etching. Electrical interconnection and grounding shielding of the additional structures via a silicon capping layer reduces parasitic effects and provides electrostatic shielding.
