[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 respectively curved in an arc shape, and the width of the top surface of the arched coil 400 is greater than the diameter of the amorphous wire 300.

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

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

[0089] It should be noted that, in the present text, unless otherwise specified, each reaction step can be performed in the order described herein or can not be performed in the order described herein. For example, each reaction step can include other steps, and the order of the reaction steps can also be appropriately changed. This can be determined by a person skilled in the art according to common knowledge and experience. Preferably, the reaction method in the present text is performed in sequence.

[0090] A preparation method of an amorphous wire sensor 10 includes the following steps:

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

[0092] A photoresist is spin-coated to cover the amorphous wire 300 and the bottom layer coil 200, and after drying, exposure and development, part of the amorphous wire 300 fixed on the first metal sub-pad is exposed, and the outer glass 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 after drying, a covering layer 1300 is obtained. A photoresist 902 is spin-coated on the surface of the covering layer 1300, and after drying, exposure, and development, a patterned second groove 1002 with a curved inner wall is obtained. The patterned second groove 1002 divides the covering layer 1300 to form 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 supporting layer 1100 and the wrapping layer 1200 is removed, and the supporting layer 1100 and the wrapping layer 1200 are baked in an oxygen-free environment to be imidized.

[0095] On the surfaces of the imidized supporting layer 1100 and the wrapping layer 1200, a second metal seed layer 802, a second metal sub-pad, and a plurality of arched coils 400 are sequentially prepared in a stacked and connected manner. The end of the amorphous wire 300 is wrapped between the first metal sub-pad and the second metal sub-pad, and the arched coils 400 extend in a curved shape along the surface of the supporting layer 1200 and cover the amorphous wire 300.

[0096] It should be noted that the patterned second groove 1002 includes a plurality of second grooves. Two adjacent second grooves distributed along the direction perpendicular to the amorphous wire 300 are used to prepare one arched coil 400. That is, the two side portions of the arched coil 400 respectively extend in a curved shape along the inner wall of the second groove, and the middle portion of the arched coil 400 extends along the surface of the supporting layer 1100 between the adjacent second grooves, so that the arched coil 400 is generally in an approximate "ji" shape structure.

[0097] In this application, through wet etching, the supporting layer 1200 formed by a supporting material such as non-photosensitive polyimide presents a certain inclination degree towards the side wall of the patterned second groove 1002, so as to ensure the uniformity of the subsequent photoresist covering on the three-dimensional structure surfaces of the supporting layer 1100 and the wrapping layer 1200. The preparation of the three-dimensional arched coil 400 can be completed without high aspect ratio columns. The imidized non-photosensitive polyimide has better physical properties than the traditional AZ-based photoresist or SU-8-based photoresist, 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, when the first metal seed layer 801, the underlying coil 200, and the first metal sub-pad are sequentially prepared on the surface of the substrate 100, the following steps are included:

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

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

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

[0102] After removing the residual photoresist 901, the exposed first metal seed layer 801 is etched and removed.

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

[0104] (1) Before the first metal seed layer 801 is prepared on the substrate 100, the substrate 100 is cleaned with acetone, isopropyl alcohol and pure water in sequence and then dried;

[0105] (2) The material for preparing the first metal seed layer 801 is Cr and / or Cu;

[0142] In the preparation method of the present application, the support layer 1100 formed by the support material containing non-photosensitive polyimide is used to support the three-dimensional arched coil 400. Compared with the traditional photoresist, the support material containing non-photosensitive polyimide has a higher viscosity. In the development process, the support material containing non-photosensitive polyimide with a relatively thick or excessively high viscosity can slow down the diffusion speed of the developing solution, so that the support layer 1100 is more likely to form an inclined surface in the development process. By controlling the development time of the support material containing non-photosensitive polyimide, the side wall of the support layer 1100 can form an inclined surface, which is used to prepare the arched coil 400. In the subsequent step of spin-coating the photoresist, the photoresist can be uniformly distributed on the inclined surface. The preparation of the three-dimensional arched coil 400 can be completed by one-time electroplating. The preparation process is simple and convenient. The support layer 1100 after imidization has excellent mechanical properties, which can be used as the support of the arched coil 400, and can significantly improve the stability of the three-dimensional coil. Compared with the three-dimensional micro coil prepared based on the traditional MEMS process, the arched coil 400 prepared by the present application does not need to form a high-aspect-ratio column structure through long-time electroplating. The present application is a column-free structure, which can reduce the process cost and complexity, and improve the production efficiency and quality of the device.
