Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of extreme environment sensors and relates to a non-packaged high-temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor manufactured in situ by laser and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Many industrial fields, such as aerospace, power generation, metallurgy and chemical industry, often involve extreme high temperature conditions in their production environment. In extremely high temperature environments, temperature monitoring is essential to ensure the safe operation of the system. Temperature sensors can provide accurate temperature data, help prevent accidents caused by overheating, protect equipment from damage, thereby increasing the overall safety of the system, and also help optimize the production process, improve energy efficiency, reduce energy waste, reduce the emission of harmful substances, and improve environmental performance.

[0003] Under these conditions, conventional temperature sensors cannot work properly, so specially designed high temperature resistant temperature sensors are needed to ensure accurate monitoring and control of the process. Currently, the temperature sensors used in extreme high temperature environments mainly include thermocouples, infrared sensors, fiber optic temperature sensors, etc. However, they all have disadvantages such as being unable to be conformally attached, requiring the use of special subsequent circuits, being complex to install, and possibly affecting the operation of the device to be monitored.

[0004] High temperature resistant thin film temperature sensors have the advantages of strong adaptability, can be manufactured in situ on the substrate to be monitored, high precision, fast response, and easy integration. Currently, high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensors are mostly based on precious metals such as platinum, sintered ceramics, etc., which have high costs, complex preparation processes, long preparation times, and require an anti-oxidation protective layer. The thermal resistance thin film temperature sensor based on platinum precious metal (a high-temperature platinum thin film resistance temperature sensor and its preparation method, application number 202110017510.X) has high cost and low sensitivity, which limits its application in high-precision occasions; the indium tin oxide-indium oxide thin film thermocouple (a method for preparing crystal plane preferentially oriented indium tin oxide-indium oxide thin film thermocouple, application number 202110423427.2) has good performance, but cannot break through the problem that thermocouples require cold end compensation and special subsequent processing circuits; the thin film temperature sensor based on polymer-converted ceramic precursor (a method for preparing a polymer precursor high-temperature ceramic thin film sensor, application number 202310860565.6) has excellent performance and low cost, but its preparation usually requires long-term high-temperature pyrolysis in a high-temperature furnace, which is time-consuming and energy-intensive, and requires packaging layer protection. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a laser in-situ manufactured, non-packaged, high-temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor and a preparation method thereof. The high-temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor is prepared by laser one-step sintering and induced passivation. The sensor has a more convenient processing method, extremely fast processing speed, lower cost, and a wider measurement range.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] A non-packaged high-temperature thin-film temperature sensor manufactured in situ by laser comprises a high-temperature substrate, a sensitive film, a connecting layer, a lead wire and a connecting protective layer. The sensitive film is prepared on the high-temperature substrate and is formed by laser sintering and induced passivation of a titanium boride-based precursor ink to form a titanium boride conductive path protected by glass phase borosilicate anti-oxidation. The conduction between titanium boride micro-nano particles in the precursor ink is achieved by laser sintering, and at the same time, the laser induced passivation forms glass phase borosilicate to protect the titanium boride conductive path from oxidation. The high-temperature substrate is an insulating ceramic such as alumina ceramic and silicon carbide ceramic. The sensitive film has a negative temperature-sensitive characteristic. The connecting layer is arranged on the sensitive film according to the lead-out position required by the wire for connecting the lead wire. The connecting protective layer covers the connecting layer for suppressing fracture failure caused by the difference in thermal expansion between the connecting layer and the sensitive film. The connecting layer is a high-temperature resistant paste such as silver paste and silver palladium paste. The lead wire is located between the connecting layer and the connecting protective layer and is used to lead out the electrical signal of the sensitive film. The lead wire is a precious metal wire such as platinum wire.

[0027] Furthermore, the precursor film preparation method described in step 3 can prepare the film on a high-temperature substrate by spin coating, or by any coating method such as drip coating, scraping, dispensing, direct ink writing (DIW), screen printing, etc. Different methods require different viscosities of the precursor ink, which can be achieved by adjusting the amount of isopropyl alcohol and glycerol added.

[0028] Furthermore, the thin film can be prepared on the high-temperature substrate by spin coating. According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the specific steps may be:

The entire device is dried at 130 degrees Celsius for 1 hour to solidify the connection layer, so that electrical conduction is established between the sensitive film and the lead wire.

[0040] Furthermore, the purpose of the connection protection layer in step 6 is to suppress the fracture between the connection layer and the sensitive film due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient.

[0069] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0070] The high temperature resistant temperature sensor of the present invention utilizes the thermal resistance characteristics of semiconductors. When the temperature rises, the migration speed of carriers and holes in the semiconductor increases, which is manifested as a decrease in bulk resistance on a macro scale. In the preparation process of the sensitive film, the instantaneous high temperature of the laser is utilized, and the light-heat conversion of the laser is better realized by adding silicon carbide, so the sintering of the film precursor can be achieved in a very short time. While laser sintering forms a conductive path for the film, it promotes the formation of silicon borate, thereby improving the antioxidant ability of the sensitive film at high temperatures.

[0071] A laser in-situ manufactured non-packaged high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is a thermal resistance temperature sensor, including an insulating high-temperature substrate A1, a sensitive film A2, a connecting layer A3, a lead wire A4 and a connecting protective layer A5. The sensitive film A2 is prepared on the high-temperature substrate A1 by laser sintering. The high-temperature substrate A1 is an insulating ceramic such as alumina ceramics and silicon carbide ceramics. The sensitive film A2 has a negative temperature-sensitive characteristic. The connecting protective layer A5 covers the connecting layer A3 to suppress fracture failure caused by the thermal expansion difference between the connecting layer A3 and the sensitive film A2. The connecting layer A3 is a high-temperature resistant paste such as silver paste and silver-palladium paste. The lead wire A4 is located between the connecting layer A3 and the connecting protective layer A5, and is used to lead out the electrical signal of the sensitive film A2. The lead wire A4 is a precious metal wire such as platinum wire.

[0072] According to a specific example of the present invention, a method for preparing a non-packaged high-temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor manufactured by laser in-situ is provided, the steps comprising:

[0073] Step 1: Use a microbalance to weigh 0.446 g of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and 0.3 g of glycerol and place them in a reagent bottle. Use a pipette to measure 5 ml of isopropanol and inject it into the reagent bottle. Add a magnetic rotor to the reagent bottle and stir on a magnetic stirring table for 1 hour (set at 1000 rpm and 60 degrees Celsius) to obtain a functional solvent.

[0074] Step 2: Use a microbalance to weigh 1g of titanium boride powder with a particle size of 1 to 3 microns and 0.2g of silicon carbide powder with a particle size of 0.5 to 0.7 microns, add them to the functional solvent prepared in step 1, and disperse them in an ultrasonic cell disruptor for two minutes to obtain a uniformly dispersed ink. Repeat step 2 for a total of 3 times to obtain a precursor ink;

[0075] Step 3: Select 96α-alumina ceramic with an application temperature of 300 to 1700 degrees Celsius as a high-temperature substrate, and pretreat the high-temperature substrate, wherein the pretreat is performed by placing the alumina ceramic substrate in alcohol and ultrasonicating for 2 minutes; then placing the alumina ceramic substrate in deionized water and ultrasonicating for 2 minutes; and finally drying the alumina ceramic in a vacuum drying oven at 60 degrees Celsius;

[0076] Step 4: Preparation of precursor film. Place the cleaned high-temperature substrate after treatment in a spin coater, turn on the air pump to evacuate, and achieve adsorption and fixation of the high-temperature substrate; drop a small amount of precursor ink in the center of the high-temperature substrate, and use a spin coating speed of 400 rpm for 3 seconds to achieve preliminary coating of the precursor ink on the high-temperature substrate; for the areas on the high-temperature substrate where the ink is not spin-coated, use a pipette to dip a small amount of ink to repair, and then drop 2-3 ml of precursor ink in the center of the high-temperature substrate, and use a spin coating speed of 500 rpm for 15 seconds; remove the high-temperature substrate after spin coating, place it on a heating table, and dry it at 60 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes to complete the preparation of the precursor film;

[0077] Step 5: Use Auto CAD software to draw the pattern to be processed and import it into the laser control software Ezcard; use an energy density of 6.4 J / mm 2 The 532nm continuous green light is used to rapidly sinter the precursor to form a temperature-sensitive film. During the laser action, silicon carbide acts as a photothermal converter to achieve laser-heat conversion. The precursor film is densified under the condition of rapid temperature increase to form a conductive path. At the same time, the instantaneous ultra-high temperature induces partial oxidation of silicon carbide and titanium boride to generate silicon borate, which envelops the titanium boride conductive path, effectively isolating further oxygen intrusion and achieving improved oxidation resistance at high temperatures.

[0078] Step 6: Hand-coat 02H-1805 silver-palladium slurry on both ends of the sensitive film as a connecting layer; embed a platinum wire with a diameter of 0.2mm into a D3*1mm alumina ceramic sheet with a 0.25mm diameter slot; press the alumina ceramic embedded with platinum wire on the connecting layer, press a 50g weight on the ceramic, and dry the entire device at 130 degrees Celsius for 1 hour to solidify the connecting layer, so that electrical conduction is formed between the sensitive film and the lead wire;

[0079] Step 7: Apply a small amount of precursor ink on the connection layer of step 6, and heat and dry it on a heating table (80 degrees Celsius) for 10 minutes.

[0080] Step 8: Prepare the control film. In addition to the different mass ratios of titanium boride and silicon carbide in step 2 (the control group is 10:0, 10:1, 10:4, and 10:6), the laser processing energy density is different (0 J / mm 2 , 2.58J / mm 2 , 9.04J / mm 2 ), the rest of the steps are the same.

[0081] In this example, the thickness and pattern of the sensitive film, the connection layer, and the connection protection layer can be adjusted as needed. Preferably, the thickness of the sensitive film is 10-50 microns, the thickness of the connection layer is 10-30 microns, and the thickness of the connection protection layer is 20-100 microns.

[0082] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the preparation process is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0083] Test platform such as Figure 3 The test platform includes a tube furnace, a commercial K-type thermocouple, a Keysight data collector, a laptop computer, etc. The signals of the prototype and the commercial K-type thermocouple are read by the Keysight data collector and transmitted to the computer for visualization.

[0084] Two examples of the temperature sensitive film in the thermal resistance type high temperature resistant film temperature sensor of the present invention are shaped as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, C1 is a high temperature substrate and C2 is a sensitive film. This further demonstrates the patterning capability of the laser manufacturing in the present invention, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0085] The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor of this example is as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the SEM shows that the sensitive films prepared with different laser energy densities have different morphologies before and after being subjected to long-term high temperature. Figure 6 The microscopic image shows that 6.46J / mm 2 The surface morphology of the sensitive film prepared by laser energy density is still very good after high temperature, without defects such as cracks, holes, and cracks. However, too low laser energy density will lead to obvious surface oxidation, and too high will lead to surface cracking. The preferred laser energy density is 4-7J / mm 2 532nm green light.

[0086] The Raman characterization of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Figure 7 As shown, the upper curve is before the high temperature test, and the lower curve is after the high temperature test. The Raman characterization shows that before and after the high temperature, the main substance of the film is TiB2, which is the component of the conductive path of the film. The substance has almost no change before and after the high temperature, proving that the film has high temperature stability.

[0087] The XPS characterization of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Figure 8 As shown, the XPS characterization shows that the B element in the film exists in the form of [BO4] rather than in the form of [BO3] of boron oxide, indicating the formation of boric acid silicon.

[0088] The FTIR characterization of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Fig. 9 As shown, the FTIR characterization shows the various bonds present in the film, among which 920.8 cm -1 and 783.4cm-1 All of them prove the existence of silicon borate.

[0089] The square resistance contour diagram of the control group film in this example after high temperature test is as follows Fig.10 As shown in the contour diagram, the film prepared by the ink without silicon carbide addition is insulated after high temperature and completely oxidized and fails because an effective boric acid silicon protective phase cannot be formed in such a film.

[0090] The thermal performance of the sensitive layer of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Fig.11 As shown, the sensitivity can be fitted according to the Steinhart-Hart equation. The fitting formula is specifically:

[0091] 1 / T=0.00125+1.1023×10 -4 lnR+1.73711×10 -6 (lnR) 3 In the fitting formula, T is the temperature to be detected, in Kelvin, and R is the output resistance of the thermal resistance type high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor of this example, in ohm.

[0092] The temperature test hysteresis curve of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows: Fig.12 As shown in the figure, the hysteresis curve is divided into 100-800 degrees Celsius heating and 800-100 degrees Celsius cooling, with a total of 6 cycles, and has excellent stability. The resistance fluctuates in the first heating process because the borosilicate flows to fill the pores in the film after laser processing.

[0093] The temperature cycle detection curve of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows: Fig.13 As shown, the temperature cycle is divided into a temperature increase of 100-800 degrees Celsius and a temperature decrease of 800-100 degrees Celsius, which is cycled four to five times in total.

[0094] The high temperature stability of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Fig.14 As shown, the high temperature stability test is to place the sensor at 800 degrees Celsius for more than 20 hours without failure.

[0095] The temperature step test of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Fig.15 As shown, the temperature step test is to place the sensor at 0-800 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes at intervals of 100 degrees Celsius to test stability.

[0096] The temperature-sensitive properties of the connection layer, substrate, and original ink of the thermal resistance high-temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example are as follows: Fig.16As shown, the temperature-sensitive property of the connecting layer in the example is negligible compared with the sensitive film, and the substrate and the original ink in the example can be considered as insulating.

[0097] The adhesion test of the sensitive film of the thermal resistance type high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Fig.17 As shown, the resistance of the sensitive film hardly changes after the 3M tape is peeled off 30 times and ultrasonically damaged for 10 minutes.

[0098] The transient response test of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Fig.18 As shown, the sensor can respond quickly under a flame torch.

[0099] The wear and vibration resistance test of the thermal resistance high temperature resistant thin film temperature sensor in this example is as follows Fig.19 As shown, the sensor has almost no change in resistance under sandpaper wear and vibration.
