Magnetic sensors based on the GMI effect are widely used in the fields of ocean, aerospace, target survey, medical instruments and military industry.

The bottom coil 200 is connected to the substrate 100, and a metal pad 500 is provided on the bottom coil 200. The amorphous wire 300 extends along the bottom coil 200, and the end of the amorphous wire 300 is wrapped by the metal pad 500 on the bottom coil 200 to achieve electrical connection. The arch coil 400 is bent and covered on the amorphous wire 300, and the two ends of the arch coil 400 are bent and tilted and extended to connect to the bottom coil 200. There is a support layer 1100 formed by solidifying a support material between the arch coil 400 and the bottom coil 200, and the arch coil 400 and the amorphous wire 300 are isolated by part of the support layer 1100. The amorphous wire signal lead 600 is electrically connected to the metal pad 500 . The coil signal lead 700 is electrically connected to the arch coil 400 .

[0081] In some embodiments, the amorphous wire sensor 10 further includes a wrapping layer 1200. The wrapping layer 1200 is connected to the substrate 100 and wraps and covers a portion of the bottom coil 200, a portion of the amorphous wire 300, and a portion of the arched coil 400. The metal pad 500 wrapping the end of the amorphous wire 300, the top surface of the arched coil 400, the amorphous wire signal lead 600, and the coil signal lead 700 are all exposed in the wrapping layer.

[0082] In some embodiments, the encapsulation layer 1200 is formed of a support material including non-photosensitive polyimide.

[0083] In some embodiments, the top surface of the arched coil 400 is parallel to the substrate 100 and two side portions of the top surface are curved in arcs, and the width of the top surface of the arched coil 400 is greater than the diameter of the amorphous wire 300 .

[0084] In some embodiments, the height of the support layer 1100 from the bottom coil 200 is 40 μm to 60 μm. The support layer 1100 is set at a height of 40 μm to 60 μm to fully cover the amorphous wire 300, and the arched coil 400 and the amorphous wire 300 can also be isolated by part of the support layer 1100.

[0086] In some of the embodiments, the bottom layer coil 200 extends in a strip shape on the substrate 100 as a whole.

[0087] In some embodiments, the substrate 100 is a glass substrate.

[0088] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing an amorphous wire sensor 10 .

[0089] It should be noted that, in this article, unless otherwise specified, each reaction step can be carried out in the order described herein, or can be carried out in a non-sequential manner. For example, other steps may be included between each reaction step, and the order of the reaction steps may also be appropriately swapped. This can be determined by the technician based on conventional knowledge and experience. Preferably, the reaction method herein is carried out sequentially.

[0090] A method for preparing an amorphous wire sensor 10 comprises the following steps:

[0091] A first metal seed layer 801 , a bottom coil 200 and a first metal sub-pad are stacked and connected on the surface of the substrate 100 , and the amorphous wire 300 is fixed on the bottom coil 200 with the two ends of the amorphous wire 300 respectively located on the first metal sub-pad.

[0092] The amorphous wire 300 and the bottom coil 200 are covered with spin-coated photoresist. After drying, exposure and development, a portion of the amorphous wire 300 fixed on the first metal sub-pad is exposed, and the outer glass layer of the exposed amorphous wire 300 is removed.

[0093] After removing the residual photoresist on the amorphous wire 300 and the underlying coil 200, a supporting material containing non-photosensitive polyimide is spin-coated on the surface of the substrate 100 and dried to obtain a covering layer 1300. Photoresist 902 is spin-coated on the surface of the covering layer 1300. After drying, exposure and development, a patterned second groove 1002 with a curved inner wall is obtained. The patterned second groove 1002 separates the covering layer 1300 into a supporting layer 1100 located on the underlying coil 200 and wrapping the amorphous wire 300, and a wrapping layer 1200 located on the substrate 100 and wrapping the underlying coil 200.

[0094] The residual photoresist 902 on the support layer 1100 and the encapsulation layer 1200 is removed, and the support layer 1100 and the encapsulation layer 1200 are baked in an oxygen-free environment to imide them.

[0095] A second metal seed layer 802, a second metal sub-pad and a plurality of arch coils 400 are sequentially prepared in a stacked manner on the surface of the imidized support layer 1100 and the wrapping layer 1200. The end of the amorphous wire 300 is wrapped between the first metal sub-pad and the second metal sub-pad. The arch coil 400 extends in a curved shape along the surface of the support layer 1200 and covers the amorphous wire 300.

[0096] It should be noted that the patterned second groove 1002 includes a plurality of second grooves, wherein two adjacent second grooves distributed along a direction perpendicular to the amorphous wire 300 are used to prepare an arch coil 400, that is, the two side portions of the arch coil 400 extend in a curved shape along the inner walls of the second grooves, and the middle portion of the arch coil 400 extends along the surface of the supporting layer 1100 between adjacent second grooves, so that the arch coil 400 as a whole is approximately in the shape of a "J".

[0097] In the present application, the supporting layer 1200 formed of the supporting material such as non-photosensitive polyimide is made to present a certain inclination toward the side wall of the patterned second groove 1002 by wet etching, so as to ensure the uniformity of subsequent photoresist coverage on the surface of the three-dimensional structure of the supporting layer 1100 and the wrapping layer 1200, and the preparation of the three-dimensional arched coil 400 can be completed without high aspect ratio columns. Compared with the traditional AZ series photoresist or SU-8 series photoresist, the imidized non-photosensitive polyimide has better physical properties, which improves the mechanical stability of the amorphous wire sensor 10. Some supporting materials such as non-photosensitive polyimide are imidized as the supporting layer 1100 instead of the sacrificial layer. Compared with the three-dimensional coil without the supporting layer 1100 in the traditional technology, the risk of coil rupture caused by deformation stress during the photoresist removal process in the traditional technology is avoided.

[0098] In some embodiments, the following steps are included when sequentially preparing the first metal seed layer 801, the bottom coil 200 and the first metal sub-pad on the surface of the substrate 100:

[0099] A first metal seed layer 801 is formed on the surface of the substrate 100 .

[0100] The photoresist 901 is spin-coated on the surface of the first metal seed layer 801 , and a patterned first groove 1001 is obtained after drying, exposure and development.

[0101] The bottom layer coil 200 and the first metal sub-pad are prepared by electroplating in the patterned first groove 1001 .

[0102] After removing the remaining photoresist 901 , the exposed first metal seed layer 801 is removed by etching.

[0103] In some embodiments, the above preparation method satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0104] (1) Before forming the first metal seed layer 801 on the substrate 100, the method further includes the steps of washing the substrate 100 with acetone, isopropanol and pure water in sequence and then drying the substrate 100;

[0142] In the preparation method of the present application, a support layer 1100 formed by a support material containing non-photosensitive polyimide is used as a support for the three-dimensional arch coil 400. Compared with traditional photoresists, support materials containing non-photosensitive polyimide have higher viscosity. During the development process, thicker or too viscous support materials containing non-photosensitive polyimide will slow down the diffusion rate of the developer, making it easier for the support layer 1100 to form an inclined surface during the development process. By controlling the development time of the support material containing non-photosensitive polyimide, an inclined surface is formed on its side wall to prepare the arch coil 400. In the subsequent step of spin coating the photoresist, the photoresist will be evenly distributed on the inclined surface, and the preparation of the three-dimensional arch coil 400 can be completed by one-time electroplating. The preparation process is simple and convenient. The imidized support layer 1100 has excellent mechanical properties. As a support for the arch coil 400, the stability of the three-dimensional coil can be significantly improved. Compared with the three-dimensional micro-coil prepared by the traditional MEMS process, the arch coil 400 prepared by the present invention does not need to undergo long-term electroplating to form a column structure with a high aspect ratio. The present application is a column-free structure, which can reduce the process cost and complexity while also improving the production efficiency and quality of the device.
