Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of micro-nanostructure technology, and in particular relates to an etching processing method and device for a zigzag silicon nanostructure. Background Art

[0002] Zigzag silicon nanostructures have many superior properties and have broad application prospects in microelectronic devices, microfluidic devices, sensors, etc.; currently, silicon nanostructures can be prepared through bottom-up and top-down methods.

[0003] The bottom-up approach includes using chemical vapor deposition, oxygen-assisted growth, solution method and other methods to grow neat and orderly silicon nanostructures with high aspect ratio on silicon substrates, but the growth efficiency is slow and it is easy to be contaminated. In the top-down etching method, dry etching is difficult to control the directional movement of etching gas, and it is difficult to generate silicon nanostructures with complex morphology. Unlike dry etching, the metal-assisted chemical etching method in the top-down etching method is a new wet etching method for etching micro-nano structures on silicon and III-V semiconductor materials. It has the advantages of simple process, low cost, high efficiency and no pollution. Its etching process includes The method involves covering a silicon substrate with a mask of precious metals such as Ag, Au, and Pt, and immersing the substrate in a hydrofluoric acid and hydrogen peroxide solution for wet etching. During the etching process, hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the silicon substrate into silicon dioxide under the catalysis of the precious metal, thereby causing the surface of the silicon substrate in contact with the precious metal mask to be etched by hydrofluoric acid. By controlling the initial morphology of the precious metal mask and removing the material by direction etching under its catalytic action, a large-area, highly oriented silicon nanostructure with a specific geometric morphology can be prepared. Therefore, by configuring etching solutions with multiple component concentrations and changing the etching solution during the etching process for multiple etchings, it can be used to process tortuous silicon nanostructures.

[0004] However, the currently prepared etching solution with limited component concentration cannot adjust the component concentration steplessly, has poor controllability, and cannot accurately control the etching direction of the tortuous silicon nanostructure. The etching accuracy of the prepared tortuous silicon nanostructure is not high. Summary of the Invention

A silicon substrate is placed in the etching container, and the surface of the silicon substrate is covered with a precious metal mask. When the etching processing device for the tortuous silicon nanostructure is used for processing, the processed tortuous silicon nanostructure is as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, the control system first controls the pump speed of the outlet peristaltic pump to be zero, and then controls the inlet peristaltic pump to input the etching solution of the first component adding container into the etching container at a certain pump speed, and the etching solution in the etching container etches in the first crystal direction, and etches into the first crystal direction etching straight line segment 1; then the control system controls the pump speed of the outlet peristaltic pump to be consistent with the pump speed of the inlet peristaltic pump, and then controls the inlet peristaltic pump to input the etching solution of the second component adding container into the etching container at a certain pump speed, so that the etching direction of the etching solution in the etching container gradually changes to the second crystal direction, and etches into the first gradual bending segment 2, and the container to be etched When the etching solution in the etching container is replaced by the etching solution in the second component adding container, the second crystal direction etching straight line segment 3 is etched. Next, the inlet peristaltic pump is controlled to input the etching solutions in the first and third component adding containers into the etching container in sequence at a certain pump speed. The etching direction of the etching solution in the etching container gradually changes to the third crystal direction, and the second gradual bending segment 4 is etched. When the etching solution in the etching container is replaced by the etching solution in the third component adding container, the third crystal direction etching straight line segment 5 is etched. Then the inlet peristaltic pump is controlled to input the etching solution in the second component adding container into the etching container at a certain pump speed, so that the etching container The etching direction of the etching solution in the etching container gradually changes to the second crystal direction, and the third gradually changing bend segment 6 is etched. When the etching solution in the etching container is replaced by the etching solution in the second component adding container, the second crystal direction etching straight line segment 7 (straight line segment 3) is etched. Then, the inlet peristaltic pump is controlled to input the etching solution in the first component adding container into the etching container at a certain pump speed, so that the etching direction of the etching solution in the etching container gradually changes to the first crystal direction, and the fourth gradually changing bend segment 8 is etched.

[0056] At the same time, after etching the third crystal direction etching straight line segment 5, the inlet peristaltic pump can be controlled to input the etching solution of the first component adding container into the etching container at a certain pump speed, so that the etching direction of the etching solution in the etching container gradually changes to the first crystal direction gradual bending segment. When the etching solution in the etching container is replaced by the etching solution of the first component adding container, the first crystal direction etching straight line segment is etched. Thereafter, the above steps are repeated to obtain a tortuous silicon nanostructure of any length on a large-size silicon wafer.

[0070] Step 9 includes: when the solution in the etching container is completely gradually converted into etching solution B, closing the inlet peristaltic pump 2 and valve 13, opening the outlet peristaltic pump 3 and valve 14, and performing etching to obtain the second crystal direction etching straight line segment 7.

[0071] Step 9: Start the inlet peristaltic pump 1 and the outlet peristaltic pump 3, close the valve 14, and allow the component in the etching container to slowly change from etching solution B to etching solution A as needed, thereby causing a gradual change in the etching direction to form the gradual bend section 8 shown in the figure; during the etching process, the size of the gradual bend is controlled by controlling the total time of component concentration adjustment.

[0072] Step 10: When the solution in the etching container is completely and gradually changed into etching solution A, the outlet peristaltic pump 3 and valve 14 are opened to perform etching to obtain a first crystal direction etching straight line segment 9 .
