Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pressure sensors, and in particular relates to a low-temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) pressure sensors have many advantages such as high sensitivity, small size, low power consumption, good consistency and easy mass production, and have been widely used in industrial production, automotive electronics, biomedicine, national defense and military, scientific research, and aerospace. The types of MEMS pressure sensors mainly include MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors, MEMS capacitive pressure sensors, MEMS resonant pressure sensors, and MEMS piezoelectric pressure sensors. Among them, MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors have become the most common pressure sensors on the market due to their good linearity and reliability. A typical MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor is made by diffusion or ion implantation on the edge of a sensitive film. These four piezoresistors are then reasonably arranged and interconnected to form a Wheatstone bridge. When an external force forces the film to deform, the resistance of the piezoresistors changes under the stress and is converted into a corresponding electrical signal output through the Wheatstone bridge.
[0003] However, in actual applications, MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors will produce significant sensitivity temperature drift and zero point temperature drift due to the temperature characteristics of the piezoresistance coefficient in the piezoresistive strip and the thermal stress (bonding thermal stress) generated by the anodic bonding process, which will reduce the measurement accuracy of the sensor. In order to deal with the above two temperature drift problems of MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensors, the traditional method is to increase the doping concentration of the piezoresistive strip and select an anodic bonding process with a lower bonding temperature when preparing the MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor. However, with the increase of the doping concentration in the piezoresistive strip and the decrease of the bonding temperature in the anodic bonding process, the piezoresistive effect in the sensor piezoresistive strip and the strength of the anodic bonding interface will weaken rapidly, resulting in a rapid decrease in the sensitivity and reliability of the sensor.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0061] According to a first aspect of the present invention, see Figure 1 , provides a low-temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor, which can significantly reduce the sensitivity temperature drift of the pressure sensor in the prior art caused by the temperature characteristics of the piezoresistive coefficient, and can also reduce the zero point temperature drift caused by bonding thermal stress, thereby effectively improving the measurement accuracy of the pressure sensor.
[0062] Specifically, the low temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor comprises:
[0063] A first substrate 2 and a second substrate 9, wherein a first groove is provided on the lower surface of the first substrate 2, the second substrate 9 is fixed to the first substrate 2 and closes the first groove, and a closed cavity 8 is formed between the first substrate 2 and the second substrate 9; an annular second groove is provided around the bottom surface of the first groove; the material of the first substrate 2 is single crystal silicon; illustratively, the maximum thickness of the first substrate 2 is 500 μm;
[0064] A first structural layer 5 and a second structural layer 6, a third groove is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the first substrate 2; the first structural layer 5 is provided in the third groove, the second structural layer 6 is provided in the second groove, and the second structural layer 6 surrounds the outer side of the first structural layer 5; the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 are both made of metal;
[0065] A varistor strip 3, wherein a plurality of varistor strips 3 are arranged on the upper surface of the first substrate 2 around the first structural layer 5, and the plurality of varistor strips 3 correspond to the second structural layer 6; wherein the varistor strip 3 may be P-type doped single crystal silicon;
[0066] The first structural layer 5, the second structural layer 6, the first substrate 2 below the first structural layer 5, and the first substrate 2 above the second structural layer 6 together constitute a pressure sensitive film 7, and the multiple piezoresistive strips 3 are all located on the pressure sensitive film 7 and are used to measure pressure according to the deformation of the pressure sensitive film 7.
[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the pressure sensitive film 7 of the low-temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor adopts a first structural layer 5 and a second structural layer 6 whose elastic modulus changes significantly with temperature, so that when the temperature changes, the sensitivity temperature drift of the pressure sensor caused by the temperature characteristics of the piezoresistive coefficient can be compensated, and finally the pressure sensor can obtain more accurate detection results.
[0068] Moreover, the thermal expansion coefficient of the metal materials in the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 is relatively large. When these two parts of the structure shrink (expand) due to temperature, they can offset the bonding thermal stress on the varistor strip 3 in the pressure sensor, thereby compensating for the zero-point temperature drift of the pressure sensor caused by the bonding thermal stress, further improving the measurement accuracy and reliability of the sensor.
[0069] In addition, the pressure sensitive film 7 is respectively composed of a first structural layer 5 and a second structural layer 6 made of metal materials, and a first substrate 2 below the first structural layer 5 and a first substrate 2 above the second structural layer 6. When the pressure sensitive film 7 is subjected to the overload pressure of the pressure sensor, the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 can effectively bear the deformation by virtue of the ductility of the metal material, thereby significantly enhancing the overload resistance of the sensor.
[0070] It should be noted that the working principle of the low temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor is as follows:
[0071] When the input pressure acts on the pressure sensitive film 7 of the low temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor, a compressive stress region is formed at the first structure layer 5 and the second structure layer 6, and a tensile stress region is formed at other positions of the pressure sensitive film 7. In the present invention, the material of the first structure layer 5 and the second structure layer 6 is metal, and the material of other positions of the pressure sensitive film 7 is still single crystal silicon. Therefore, when the ambient temperature of the working pressure sensor increases (decreases), the elastic modulus of the metal material in the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 in the compressed state will significantly decrease (increase), so that the compression deformation of the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 will significantly increase (decrease), and the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 will drive the tensile deformation of other positions of the pressure sensitive film 7 to increase (decrease), so that the stress of the piezoresistor strip 3 located on the pressure sensitive film 7 will increase (decrease) proportionally within the full range, and finally the sensitivity of the low-temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor of the present invention will increase (decrease) as the ambient temperature increases (decreases), and then the sensitivity temperature drift caused by the decrease (increase) of the piezoresistance coefficient in the piezoresistor strip 3 as the ambient temperature increases (decreases) can be compensated.
[0072] In addition, since the thermal expansion coefficient of the metal material in the first structure layer 5 and the second structure layer 6 is larger than that of the single crystal silicon medium in other positions of the pressure sensitive film 7, when the first structure layer 5 and the second structure layer 6 are placed at room temperature from the sputtering temperature, they will shrink and drive other positions of the pressure sensitive film 7 to stretch, and generate stress on the varistor strip 3 that is opposite to the bonding thermal stress, thereby reducing or even eliminating the influence of the bonding thermal stress on the zero point temperature drift of the pressure sensor.
[0073] Optionally, the low temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor further includes a passivation layer 1;
[0074] The passivation layer 1 is arranged around the upper surface of the first substrate 2 and covers the varistor strip 3 .
[0075] In the above embodiment, the passivation layer 1 can provide better isolation and protection for the varistor strip 3 .
[0076] Optionally, the low temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor further includes an ohmic contact 4;
[0077] Ohmic contacts 4 are respectively provided at both ends of the varistor strip 3 , and the ohmic contacts 4 are used to realize electrical connection between the varistor strip 3 and the lead wire.
[0078] In the above embodiment, the ohmic contacts 4 are located at both ends of the varistor strip 3 to achieve good electrical interconnection between the varistor strip 3 and the lead wire. Exemplarily, the material of the ohmic contacts 4 is P-type heavily doped single crystal silicon with a thickness of 1 μm-3 μm, and its shape is determined by the specific layout and wiring.
[0079] Optionally, a projection of the first structure layer 5 on the upper surface of the first substrate 2 and a projection of the second structure layer 6 on the upper surface of the first substrate 2 do not overlap;
[0080] The sum of the projection area of the first structure layer 5 on the upper surface of the first substrate 2 and the projection area of the second structure layer 6 on the upper surface of the first substrate 2 is the same as the projection area of the bottom surface of the first groove on the upper surface of the first substrate 2 .
[0081] In the above embodiment, the design of the first structure layer 5 and the second structure layer 6 is relatively reasonable, which helps to ensure the sensitivity and reliability of the pressure sensor.
[0082] Exemplarily, the first structural layer 5 is located in the middle of one side surface (i.e., the front side) of the pressure sensitive film 7 and is in the shape of a four-leaf rose line, wherein the specific shape of the four-leaf rose line needs to be determined according to the simulated stress cloud diagram of the specific pressure sensitive film 7. The second structural layer 6 is located at the edge of the other side surface (i.e., the back side) of the pressure sensitive film 7, and its shape is the area of the pressure sensitive film 7 minus the area projection of the first structural layer 5 on the pressure sensitive film 7 The shape corresponds to the remaining area.
[0083] Optionally, the material of the first structural layer 5 is the same as that of the second structural layer 6, and is at least one of lead, gold, zinc, magnesium, aluminum and copper. This makes the elastic modulus of the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 have a relatively stable elastic modulus.
[0084] Optionally, the first structural layer 5 has four arc angles, and adjacent arc angles are connected by arc lines. The first structural layer 5 is reasonably designed, which helps the first structural layer 5 and the second structural layer 6 to cooperate to ensure the stability and reliability of the pressure sensor.
[0085] Optionally, the thickness of the first structure layer 5 and the second structure layer 6 are both half of the thickness of the pressure sensitive film 7. This enables the pressure sensitive film 7 to better compensate for the temperature drift of the pressure sensor caused by the temperature characteristics of the piezoresistance coefficient when the temperature changes.
[0086] Optionally, the thickness of the varistor strip 3 is 1 μm-3 μm, and the thickness of the ohmic contact 4 is 1 μm-3 μm. This helps the varistor strip 3 to stably achieve electrical connection with the lead wire through the ohmic contact 4 .
[0087] Optionally, the passivation layer 1 is made of at least one of silicon oxide and silicon nitride, and has a thickness of 0.1 μm-5 nm.
[0088] In the above embodiment, the passivation layer 1 is thin and made of a reasonable material, which not only improves the isolation and protection effect of the passivation layer 1 on the varistor strip 3, but also helps to reduce the quality of the piezoresistive pressure sensor.
[0089] Exemplarily, the second substrate 9 is located directly below the first substrate 2 , and is made of borosilicate glass with a thickness of 500 μm.
[0090] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing a low-temperature drift MEMS piezoresistive pressure sensor is provided, comprising the following steps:
