Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sensors, and in particular to an inverted back-pressure sensor and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are two common structural forms of pressure sensors used to measure low pressure in the market: one is front-side pressure, and the front-side pressure sensor needs to be bonded and sealed. The bonding wire and glue need to be in contact with the measured medium. The bonding wire is easy to break and fail during use due to the pressure alternation. The sealing glue also needs to be in contact with different detection media, which is not suitable for invasive media. The other is a common back-side pressure sensor. The common back-side pressure sensor uses a packaging method of glue bonding or eutectic welding. The circuit surface and bonding wire of the packaging structure of the common back-side pressure sensor are not in contact with the detection medium, but because glue bonding and eutectic welding are prone to peeling from the substrate, it is especially used in scenes with large vibrations, such as excavators with large vibrations. As a result, the existing common back-side pressure sensors have high risks of use, and require the packaging glue, eutectic materials and eutectic processes to have very high reliability, which also limits the application of common back-side pressure structure sensors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0077] Typical embodiments that embody the features and advantages of the present invention will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present invention can have various changes in different embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are essentially used for illustration purposes rather than for limiting the present invention.

[0078] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that in the embodiments shown in the drawings, the indications of directions or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front and back, etc.) are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these elements change, the indications of these directions also change accordingly.

[0079] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0080] When existing front-side pressure sensors and ordinary back-side pressure sensors are used in scenarios with large vibrations or different measuring media, the pressure sensors have problems with reliability, complex packaging process, and low packaging efficiency. This application designs a flip-chip back-side pressure sensor that can be packaged using the SMT process. The package is directly welded using SMT, eliminating complex processes such as wire bonding, effectively improving the packaging efficiency of the pressure sensor and improving the reliability of the pressure sensor.

[0081] Among them, when packaging ordinary back-pressure pressure sensors, thin metal wires are needed, and heat, pressure, and ultrasonic energy are used to make multi-point welding between the metal leads and the substrate pads. This process is called wire bonding process.

[0082] SMT is called surface mounting or surface mounting technology. It is a circuit assembly technology that mounts pinless or short-lead surface mounting components on the surface of a printed circuit board or other substrate, and assembles them by soldering through reflow soldering or dip soldering. SMT packaging has high reliability, strong vibration resistance, and low solder joint defect rate.

[0083] See also Figure 1 The flip-chip back pressure sensor of the present application includes a main chip part 1 and a cover part 2, and the cover part 2 and the main chip part 1 are fixed as a whole by bonding methods such as eutectic bonding or metal hot pressing bonding. A pressure induction cavity 15 for contacting a fluid to be detected is provided on the side of the main chip part 1 away from the cover part 2, and a pad is provided on the side of the cover part 2 away from the main chip part 1, and the pad can be directly welded and packaged with the substrate by the SMT process to form a flip-chip back pressure sensor.

[0084] See also Figure 2 The main chip part 1 includes a main body 11, a Wheatstone bridge 12 and a first electrical connection structure 13. A diaphragm 111 is formed on the main body 11. The Wheatstone bridge 12 is arranged on the diaphragm 111. One end of the first electrical connection structure 13 is connected to the Wheatstone bridge 12, and the other end extends to the outside of the diaphragm 111.

[0085] A pressure induction cavity 15 for contacting the fluid to be detected is formed on one side of the main body 11 by etching and photolithography processes, so that a diaphragm 111 is formed between the bottom of the pressure induction cavity 15 and the side of the main body 11 away from the pressure induction cavity 15, and the diaphragm 111 is used to sense the pressure of the fluid entering the pressure induction cavity 15. In order to facilitate the description of the structure of the main body 11, this application defines the side of the main body 11 on which the pressure induction cavity 15 is set as the bottom surface of the main body 11, and the side away from the pressure induction cavity 15 is defined as the top surface of the main body 11.

[0086] The top surface of the main body 11 forms a Wheatstone bridge 12 by ion implantation. The Wheatstone bridge 12 includes a resistor bar 121 and a conductive wire 122. There are four resistor bars 121, which are arranged at intervals and located on the side of the diaphragm 111 away from the pressure-inducing chamber 15. Among the four resistor bars 121, two of them correspond to the peak areas of the tensile stress and the compressive stress of the diaphragm 111, and the four resistor bars 121 are connected by conductive connection to form the Wheatstone bridge 12.

[0087] When the diaphragm 111 undergoes elastic deformation under fluid pressure, the Wheatstone bridge 12 can produce a change in resistance value according to the elastic deformation, and can output a corresponding electrical signal according to the degree of elastic deformation, and the pressure of the fluid can be known according to the electrical signal output by the Wheatstone bridge 12.

[0088] Preferably, the four resistor bars 121 are formed by a PN junction or SOI structure. A PN junction is a process of making a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor on the same semiconductor (usually silicon or germanium) substrate by epitaxy, dopant diffusion or ion implantation. The boundary or interface between the two semiconductor materials is called a PN junction (English: PN junction). SOI stands for Silicon-On-Insulator, which means silicon on an insulating substrate. This technology introduces a buried oxide layer between the top silicon and the back substrate.

[0089] The first electrical connection structure 13 is disposed on the main body 11 through deposition and photolithography processes, and is located on the same side of the main body 11 as the Wheatstone bridge 12. One end of the first electrical connection structure 13 is connected to the conductive wire 122 of the Wheatstone bridge 12, and the other end is connected to the second electrical connection structure 22 on the cover portion 2, so that the Wheatstone bridge 12 is connected to the circuit on the substrate through the first electrical connection structure 13 and the second electrical connection structure 22. There are four first electrical connection structures 13, and the four first electrical connection structures 13 are arranged at intervals.

[0090] In one embodiment, a silicon oxide layer is formed on the surface of the main body 11 by a thermal oxidation process. The silicon oxide layer is an insulating structure and can provide a good insulation effect between the Wheatstone bridge 12 and the outside world.

[0091] Furthermore, silicon nitride is deposited on the top surface of the body 11 to form a silicon nitride layer, and the silicon oxide layer and the silicon nitride layer form a passivation layer. The passivation layer effectively protects the diaphragm 111 and the Wheatstone bridge 12 and forms stress matching for the diaphragm 111.

[0092] The pressure sensing diaphragm 111 is etched according to the range requirement, and the internal stress of the diaphragm 111 is balanced by matching the thickness of the passivation layer. The internal stress includes tensile stress and compressive stress.

[0093] In one embodiment, the main chip portion 1 further includes a first bonding member 14, which is used to bond and connect with the cover portion 2. The first bonding member 14 is annular, and the first bonding member 14 is arranged on the top surface of the main body 11, and is located outside the Wheatstone bridge 12 and the first electrical connection structure 13. The first bonding member 14 is a metal member or a semiconductor member. The first bonding member 14 is formed by photolithography of a lead hole on the top surface of the main body 11, then depositing a metal layer, and then photolithography of the metal layer.

[0094] The cover plate portion 2 includes a cover plate 21 and a second electrical connection structure 22. The cover plate 21 can be formed by processing a silicon wafer or a glass sheet. A groove 25 is formed by photolithography on one side of the cover plate 21, and the side on which the groove 25 is formed is bonded to the top surface of the main body 11, so that the main body 11 blocks the open end of the groove 25 to form a closed vacuum chamber 23. The position of the diaphragm 111 corresponds to the position of the groove 25, so that the vacuum chamber 23 becomes an elastic deformation space when the diaphragm 111 produces elastic deformation. In order to facilitate the description of the structure of the main body 11, this application defines the side of the cover plate 21 on which the groove 25 is set as the bottom surface of the cover plate 21, and the side away from the groove 25 is defined as the top surface of the cover plate 21. The second electrical connection structure 22 runs through the bottom surface of the cover plate 21 and the top surface of the cover plate 21, so that the second electrical connection structure 22 connects the substrate and the first electrical connection structure 13.

[0095] See also Figure 3 The cover plate portion 2 also includes a second bonding member 24, which is arranged on the side of the cover plate 21 facing the main body 11 and corresponds to the position of the first bonding member 14. The second bonding member 24 is bonded to the first bonding member 14 to achieve a bonding connection between the cover plate portion 2 and the main chip portion 1. The second bonding member 24 is annular and is located outside the second electrical connection structure 22. The first bonding member 14 and the second bonding member 24 are metal parts or semiconductor parts. The second bonding member 24 is formed by photolithography of lead holes on the bottom surface of the cover plate 21, then depositing a metal layer, and then photolithography of the metal layer.

[0096] In the embodiment where the second bonding member 24 is bonded to the first bonding member 14, the second electrical connection structure 22 and the first electrical connection structure 13 may be bonded. Specifically, when the bonding process is performed between the second bonding member 24 and the first bonding member 14, the bonding connection between the second electrical connection structure 22 and the first electrical connection structure 13 is completed at the same time. Eutectic bonding is formed between the second bonding member 24 and the first bonding member 14 and between the second electrical connection structure 22 and the first electrical connection structure 13, such as Figure 1 , Figures 7 to 9 An inverted back-loaded pressure sensor is shown.

[0097] When the cover plate 21 is a silicon wafer, a silicon oxide layer may be formed by oxidation on the bottom surface of the cover plate 21 to improve the insulation effect of the cover plate portion 2 .

[0098] In one embodiment, the cover plate 21 is formed by processing a glass sheet. In this embodiment, the cover plate portion 2 is not provided with the second bonding member 24, and the main chip portion 1 is not provided with the first bonding member 14. The cover plate 21 is directly bonded to the main body 11 to form an anodic bond between the glass material and the silicon material. In this embodiment, the surface of the main body 11 may not be provided with a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer; or a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer are only provided above the Wheatstone bridge 12, and a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer are not provided at the position of the main body 11 for bonding with the cover plate 21, such as Fig.14 An inverted back-loaded pressure sensor is shown.

In this embodiment, the cover plate portion 2 is not provided with the second bonding component 24, and the main chip portion 1 is not provided with the first bonding component 14. The cover plate 21 is directly bonded to the main body 11 to form a silicon-silicon bond between silicon materials. In this embodiment, a silicon oxide layer may be provided on the surface of the main body 11 and the surface of the cover plate 21 to improve the insulation effect of the flip-chip back-pressure pressure sensor. In one embodiment, a silicon oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer may be provided only above the Wheatstone bridge 12, and a silicon nitride layer is not provided at the position of the main body 11 for bonding to the cover plate 21, such as Fig.13 An inverted back-loaded pressure sensor is shown.
