Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), and in particular to a third generation unit of an advanced capacitive nanoelectromechanical chip and a reverse thrust system. Background Art

[0002] In the field of integrated circuit / chip technology, especially VLSI design in the field of nano-directional acoustic energy, specifically for capacitive nano-electromechanical (CNUT) chip array units in nano-electromechanical (NEMS) chip design. In ordinary capacitive micro-electromechanical ultrasonic transducers (CMUT), the movement mechanism of the diaphragm is driven by the electrostatic attraction (non-linear downward) applied between the diaphragm and the substrate (i.e., the positive and negative electrodes). In addition, the diaphragm itself is also affected by its own gravity (volume force: downward) and counteracts the mechanical (elastic) force of the diaphragm itself (linear upward). These three act together on the diaphragm and are in a state of dynamic equilibrium. The specific force analysis is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0003] Where A is the electrode area; ε0 is the dielectric constant of the capacitor cavity (vacuum);

[0004] g const : Gravity acceleration of the application; m: Diaphragm mass;

[0005] Fs: mechanical force Fs=K×w; Fg: gravity g=m×g const ;

[0006] Fe: electrostatic force Fe = ε0 × A × V 2 / (2×(g o -w) 2 );

[0007] Balance of three forces: Fs=Fe+Fg.

[0008] In the force analysis of the diaphragm, three forces are mainly considered: electrostatic force Fe (surface force, downward direction), gravity Fg (volume force, downward direction) and mechanical force Fs (recovery elastic force, upward direction). Among them, the electrostatic force Fe is significantly enhanced when the object size is less than 1mm, becoming the dominant force, and increases with the increase of displacement w and the quadratic growth of voltage V. Gravity Fg is relatively small when the object size is less than 1mm and is not the dominant force. The mechanical force Fs is related to the material properties and has nothing to do with the size. It increases linearly with the increase of displacement w.

[0009] However, existing CMUT products have voltage-related design defects. Specifically, because the linear force and nonlinear force increase and decrease with the amplitude, the displacement of the diaphragm is limited, usually less than 1 / 3 of the cavity height (CU <33%). This is because when the diaphragm displacement exceeds this limit, the electrostatic force Fe will grow rapidly, causing the upper electrode to adhere to the lower electrode of the substrate, resulting in a short circuit and CMUT failure. This limitation is a globally recognized theoretical conclusion, that is, in the existing technology, the voltage between the upper and lower electrodes must not exceed the collapse voltage to avoid failure problems caused by excessive diaphragm amplitude.

[0010] Figure 2 A cross-sectional panoramic view of a conventional CMUT is shown, further illustrating the structure and principle of the prior art.

[0011] In summary, in view of the voltage design defects in existing CMUT products, an improved capacitive nanoelectromechanical chip array unit design is proposed to improve the displacement range and working efficiency of the diaphragm. Summary of the invention

[0012] In order to solve the problem of transmitting and receiving ultrasound at a high sound pressure in a propagation medium through a nanoelectromechanical chip (CNUT), the essence is to solve the contradiction between high transmission voltage and exceeding the structural design limit (positive and negative poles attracting each other and causing chip failure).

In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0095] Embodiment 1

The diaphragm is located above the substrate, and a cavity is provided between the diaphragm and the substrate; a diaphragm support structure for supporting the diaphragm is provided in the cavity below the diaphragm. The diaphragm support structure is fixed on the side pillars.

[0097] The capacitance effect and nano-scale mechanical structure are used to achieve efficient energy conversion. Compared with traditional CMUT, it has higher sound pressure output. By precisely designing the size and shape of the cavity, the emission direction and frequency characteristics of ultrasound can be optimized. The diaphragm support structure provides additional support and stability to ensure that the diaphragm can still work normally under high-voltage emission voltage. It helps to reduce the deformation and fatigue of the diaphragm and extend the service life of CNUT. In view of the contradiction between the propagation of ultrasound at high sound pressure in the medium and the limitations of CMUT materials and structures, the third-generation CNUT unit has achieved a breakthrough through innovative design. It can withstand higher emission voltages while ensuring efficient ultrasound emission, thereby increasing the propagation distance and sound intensity of ultrasound.

[0099] The diaphragm support structure and the diaphragm are arranged around the same center, ensuring the symmetry and stability of the structure; it helps to reduce the asymmetry during the vibration process, thereby improving the vibration efficiency and performance of the CNUT. The outer peripheral edges of the diaphragm support structure and the diaphragm are aligned to ensure the compactness and integrity of the structure. This alignment design helps to reduce energy loss during vibration and improve the energy conversion efficiency of the CNUT. Therefore, the ring structure design enhances the overall stability of the CNUT, allowing the diaphragm to maintain a stable shape and position during vibration. By precisely controlling the radius difference of the diaphragm support structure, the vibration mode and frequency response of the CNUT can be optimized. The compact structural design and aligned edges reduce energy loss during vibration and improve the energy conversion efficiency of the CNUT. The ring structure design helps to disperse the stress of the diaphragm during vibration, reduce deformation and fatigue, and thus extend the service life of the CNUT.

[0140] Two diaphragm supports are added under the diaphragm. After simulation, the CU value range is: 46%~90.5%.

[0141] Reference Figure 8 In this embodiment, when D / 2 is 308 microns, two diaphragm supports are added under the diaphragm. After simulation, the CU value reaches 82%> 33% of the traditional Cmut. The curve fitting result is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, compared with the traditional CMUT, the CU value of the present invention is significantly improved.

[0142] Reference Fig. 9 , a voltage is applied between the diaphragm and the substrate. When the normalized voltage is between 85% and 95%, Fig.13 In the figure, when the CU value is 82% and the normalized voltage is between 93% and 94%, the normalized spacing increases negatively linearly; that is, to achieve a CU of 82%, the voltage only needs to be in a good range, which lays a good theoretical foundation for the low-cost construction of subsequent circuits.

[0143] In this application, the vibration frequency range of the chip unit is: 47.2khz~14048khz, and the bandwidth range is 200hz~1000hz. This performance makes CMUT have a wider application prospect in the fields of ultrasonic imaging.

[0144] Reference Fig.10 , is the corresponding frequency curve when the D / 2 of the chip is 308 microns, the low frequency point is 74 khz, the high frequency point is 77 khz, the bandwidth is 3000 hz, and the inside and outside of the chip are air in this embodiment.

[0145] In this embodiment, when D / 2 of the chip unit is 308 microns:

[0146] Fig.11 It is the vibration mode diagram with characteristic frequency of 80162 Hz.

[0147] Fig.12 It is the vibration mode diagram with characteristic frequency of 157380 Hz.

[0149] Fig.14 It is the vibration mode diagram with the characteristic frequency of 489550hz.

[0150] Fig.15 It is the vibration mode diagram with characteristic frequency of 765650hz.

[0151] Fig.16 It is the vibration mode diagram with characteristic frequency of 1027500 Hz.

[0152] Wherein, material breakdown voltage: stoichiometric ratio of SiNx (fraction x of nitrogen in SiNx): when x>1.32, at this time, the breakdown voltage of 1um thick SiN is 1100V. All configurations of the present invention are within this voltage range.

[0153] Sound intensity comparison:

[0154] According to the sound intensity formula I=ρ×v×ω×Ao^2, where:

[0155] ρ represents the density of the medium (here is air); v represents the speed of sound; ω represents the frequency of the ultrasonic wave; Ao represents the amplitude.

[0156] By formula calculation, the new design of the third-generation chip is compared with the traditional CMUT. Taking ultrasound with a frequency of 77khz as an example, the sound intensity on the surface of the sound source is increased by 5.4 times, as shown in Table 3:

[0157]

[0158] Propagation distance comparison:

[0159] When ultrasonic waves propagate in the air, they will be attenuated due to the viscosity of air molecules.

[0160] Air attenuation coefficient a:

[0161] a=5.578×10^(-9)×(T0 / T1) / (T0+110.4)×ω×ω / (p0 / p1);

[0162] Where T0 is the real-time temperature, T1 is the reference temperature, p0 is the real-time atmospheric pressure, p1 is the reference atmospheric pressure, and ω is the frequency of the ultrasonic wave.

[0163]

[0164] As shown in Table 4, we take the case where the amplitude in the air is attenuated to 70.7% of the sound source (half sound intensity) as an example, take the 77khz of the ordinary CMUT as the benchmark, take the amplitude reaching the position of the half sound intensity point of the ordinary CMUT as the target, and calculate the distance of the ultrasonic wave emitted by the ordinary CMUT according to the amplitude attenuation formula:

[0165] Ax=Ao×e^(-a×ω×x). It is known that the ultrasonic amplitude of the ultrasonic wave emitted by the ordinary CMUT decays to 3.97 microns at a distance of 54.8 meters from the sound source (the sound intensity at this point decays to 50% of that at the sound source). Similarly, when the ultrasonic amplitude emitted by the third-generation chip decays to 3.97 microns, its emission distance is 197.5 meters. The propagation distance is increased by 3.7 times compared with the ordinary CMUT. For details, please refer to Table 5.

[0166]

[0167] The present invention can realize chip-level ultrasonic high-power emission in the form of a highly integrated CNUT chip, combined with the directional characteristics of ultrasound. Combined with sensitive sensors, it can achieve a high-quality combination of large distance, high power and ultra-sensitivity, thereby realizing various future science fiction applications of various chip-level ultrasonic directional sound energy. At the same time, it greatly improves ultrasonic applications such as ultrasonic knives, ultrasonic treatment, ultrasonic depth imaging, ultrasonic long-distance fish sonar imaging, ultrasonic suspension, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic flight, ultrasonic noise isolation, ultrasonic light control, ultrasonic touch, ultrasonic expulsion, ultrasonic pest control, etc., greatly reduces the physical mass of the end side of the transmitting equipment (the chip of the present invention is in grams), and improves the carrying capacity of the effective detection load of the vehicle.

[0178] Embodiment 2

[0179] An embodiment of the present application discloses a reverse thrust system.

[0180] Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves, and their essence is to push the molecules in the medium to move forward in front of the array. According to Newton's third law (action and reaction), the diaphragm movement of the unit of the CNUT of the present invention promotes the movement of matter (such as nitrogen molecules and oxygen molecules in the air; or water molecules in water; or particles or molecules in space). The reaction force from the external medium of the chip to the unit of the CNUT of the present invention is equal to the force of the chip on the external medium. For the specific direction of the reaction force, refer to Fig. 27 Simulation diagram analysis.

[0181] The chip reverse thrust design of the third generation unit of the capacitive nanoelectromechanical chip (CNUT) is shown in Table 6 below:

[0182]

[0183] (1) When the chip D / 2 size is 9 microns, in a space environment, inert gas xenon is sprayed to the outside of the chip (when the outside is argon gas) and the inside is air, the maximum peak value of the total reaction force on the Y axis reaches 0.072 Newton (added bias voltage 136 volts) within one arc cycle of the X axis. Fig.28 .

[0184] (2) When the chip D / 2 size is 120 microns, in a space environment, with the chip outside (when the outside is argon) and the inside is air (1.29 kg / m^3), the maximum peak value of the total reaction force on the Y axis reaches 0.171 Newton (added bias voltage 567 volts) within one arc cycle of the X axis. Fig.29 .

[0185] (3) When the chip D / 2 is 200 microns in size, inside the atmosphere, the chip is air (1.29 kg / m^3) outside, and the chip is five times the air pressure (6.45 kg / m^3) inside, within one arc cycle of the X axis, the maximum peak value of the total reaction force on the Y axis reaches 0.258 Newton (added bias voltage 1074 volts). Fig.30 .

Fig.31 .

[0187] (5) When the chip D / 2 is 400 microns in size, the chip is in water with water outside and air inside. When both are air (1.29 kg / m^3), the voltage is 1162 V and the reverse thrust is 8.16 N. Fig.32 .

[0188] (6) When the chip D / 2 size is 2990 microns, in an atmospheric environment, inert gas argon is sprayed to the outside of the chip, and the inside is air, the maximum peak value of the total reaction force on the Y axis reaches 0.006 Newton (added bias voltage 10.35 volts) within one arc cycle of the X axis. Fig.33 .

[0189] Thrust to weight ratio:

[0190] Before the chip is packaged,

[0191] The weight of CNUT chip = volume occupied by each layer of material × density × gravitational acceleration;

[0192] Thrust = reaction force;

[0193] The thrust-to-weight ratio of the chip unit = thrust / weight of the chip unit;

[0194] Therefore, the weight ratio is shown in Table 7:

[0195]

[0196] In other embodiments:

As shown in the corresponding CU value simulation diagram, the CU value is 45%; compared with the traditional CMUT, the CU value of the present invention is significantly improved.
