[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing a drooping cantilever beam structure 100, the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 includes a support portion 10 and at least one cantilever beam arm 20, the cantilever beam arm 20 is arranged to protrude from the support portion 10 toward a side away from the support portion 10, and the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S100: providing a substrate 200;

[0047] Step S200: coating at least one polymer film layer on the top surface of the substrate 200;

[0048] Step S300: preparing a mask having continuous lines / spaces with a preset width;

[0049] Step S400: using a mask to sequentially perform exposure processing and development processing on the polymer film layer to prepare a drooping cantilever beam structure 100 in the polymer film layer, wherein the drooping depth of the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 increases as the preset width decreases.

[0050] In this embodiment, at least one polymer film layer is first coated on the top surface of the provided substrate 200, and then a mask having a preset width and continuous lines / gaps is prepared, and the polymer film layer is sequentially exposed and developed to prepare a drooping cantilever beam structure 100. Here, the preset width of the lines / gaps of the mask is designed according to the drooping depth of the drooping cantilever beam structure 100, and the drooping depth of the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 increases as the preset width decreases, that is, the larger the preset width of the lines / gaps of the mask, the smaller the drooping depth of the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 prepared, and the smaller the preset width of the lines / gaps of the mask, the larger the drooping depth of the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 prepared. Here, the material of the polymer film layer is epoxy resin, and the thickness of the polymer film layer is 100μm.

[0051] In the present embodiment, a mask having continuous lines / gaps with a preset width is prepared, and the polymer film layer located on the top surface of the substrate 200 is sequentially exposed and developed using the mask to prepare a drooping cantilever beam structure 100 having a size range of 1 μm-1000 μm. The drooping cantilever beam structure 100 prepared in the present embodiment has a larger size range, that is, the detection range when applied to a biological MEMS sensor is increased, and can meet various size requirements of the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 and the detection range requirements of the biological MEMS sensor. The drooping cantilever beam structure 100 has a certain drooping depth, thereby improving the detection capability of the biological MEMS sensor for small changes, improving the detection sensitivity of the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 applied to the biological MEMS sensor, and increasing the detection range of the drooping cantilever beam structure applied to the biological MEMS sensor.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the width of the line in the mask is any value in the range of 0.5μm-2.0μm, the width of the gap is any value in the range of 0.5μm-2.0μm, and the width of the line and the width of the gap of the mask are set to be along the first horizontal direction (refer to Figure 3 The width of the mask line and the width of the gap are set to be along the second horizontal direction (refer to Figure 3 b direction) is the same as shown in the figure, so as to prepare a drooping cantilever structure 100 with a certain drooping depth, wherein the first horizontal direction is the extension direction of the cantilever arm 20, and the first horizontal direction is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction. That is, the width of the line in the mask can be 0.5μm, 0.8μm, 1.0μm, 1.5μm or 2.0μm, or any value in the range of 0.5μm-2.0μm, and the width of the gap can be 0.5μm, 0.65μm, 0.8μm, 0.9μm, 1.0μm, 1.25μm, 1.5μm, 1.75μm or 2.0μm, or any value in the range of 0.5μm-2.0μm.

[0053] In this embodiment, during the development process of the polymer film layer, PGMEA (Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate) is used as a developer, and the developer PGMEA is dripped on the surface of the polymer film layer to achieve the development process of the polymer film layer, or it is placed in a PGMEA developing tank to achieve the development process of the polymer film layer, wherein the development method is single-chip rotary development or tank development, and the single-chip rotary development needs to be cycled at least 15 times, and each development time is 30s. Tank development needs to be equipped with an ultrasonic system, and the development time is not less than 3min.

[0054] In a further embodiment, the material of the polymer film layer is a polymer material. In this embodiment, the polymer material can be a liquid polymer material or a dry film polymer material. Specifically, the polymer material can be a liquid material and a dry film material such as polyimide, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, etc., that is, the polymer material can be a polyimide liquid material, an epoxy resin liquid material, an acrylic resin liquid material, a polyimide dry film material, an epoxy resin dry film material or an acrylic resin dry film material. In other words, polyimide, epoxy resin and acrylic resin materials all have good biocompatibility and can be in direct contact with biological tissues or cells for the detection of biological molecules or the monitoring of biological reactions. Moreover, these liquid materials and dry film materials can be combined with MEMS manufacturing processes to achieve miniaturization and integration of biosensors.

[0055] In this embodiment, the dry film polymer material generally has high precision and stability. When preparing the drooping cantilever beam structure 100, the dry film material can ensure the size and shape accuracy of the structure, thereby improving the performance of the MEMS sensor. The dry film polymer material generally has good flexibility and plasticity, which is easy to process and integrate into the MEMS sensor.

[0056] In a further embodiment, in step S400, the following steps are also included:

[0057] The exposure energy and exposure focus of the exposure treatment are adjusted to adjust the cross-linking degree and exposure depth of the polymer film layer.

[0058] In this embodiment, when light is irradiated on the mask, dense lines will produce strong diffraction light when out of focus, and interference will be formed between adjacent diffraction lights, thereby reducing the intensity. At low energy, the exposure depth will be significantly reduced, and therefore the surface of the polymer film layer will be exposed to light to form a photochemical reaction, and the lower part of the polymer film layer will not be exposed to light and no photochemical reaction will occur, which provides the necessary conditions for forming a cantilever structure. Since the dense line spacing of different sizes is designed on the mask, the diffraction of small-sized dense lines is relatively strong, and the interference is also correspondingly strengthened. Therefore, the light intensity distributed on the polymer surface will also be strong and weak, providing the necessary conditions for forming a drooping structure. The setting of the exposure focal length will affect the flatness of the surface of the drooping cantilever structure 100. When the focal length is set closer to the optimal imaging focus, the surface of the drooping cantilever structure 100 is uneven. When the focal length is set farther from the optimal imaging focus, the surface of the drooping cantilever structure 100 is relatively flat.

[0059] In this embodiment, the exposure time in the exposure process is any value in the range of 100ms-150ms, and the exposure focal length is any value in the range of -6μm to -15μm, so as to prepare a drooping cantilever beam structure 100 with a drooping depth of any value in the range of 1.0μm-3.0μm. That is, the exposure time can be 100ms,

[0060] 110ms, 120ms, 130ms, 140ms or 150ms, or any value between 100ms and 150ms. The exposure focal length can be -6μm, -7μm, -8μm, -9μm, -10μm, -11μm, -12μm, -

[0061] 13μm, -14μm or -15μm, or any value in the range of -6μm-15μm. For example, the exposure time is 100ms, the exposure focal length is -9μm, and the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 with a drooping depth of 2.05μm is prepared.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the exposure time is greater than 100ms, the prepared cantilever beam structure has an upturned structure. When the exposure time is 100ms and the exposure focal length is -6μm to 9μm, the surface of the prepared cantilever beam structure is uneven and has a bumpy shape. When the exposure time is 150ms and the exposure focal length is greater than 12μm, the surface of the prepared cantilever beam structure is uneven and has a bumpy shape.

[0063] In a further embodiment, in step S400, the method for preparing the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 further includes the following steps:

[0064] After the polymer film layer is exposed, a post-exposure baking process is performed on the polymer film layer.

[0065] In this embodiment, after the polymer film layer is exposed, the polymer film layer is heated to allow the molecular chains to reorganize with each other to form larger molecular chains. The reorganized molecular chains will not dissolve in the developer, while the unreorganized molecular chains will dissolve in the developer, thereby preparing a drooping cantilever beam structure 100 with a preset depth after development. Here, during the post-exposure baking process, the polymer film layer is first placed at 65° C. for 30 minutes, and then baked at 95° C. for 25 minutes.

[0066] In a further embodiment, after step S400, the method for preparing the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 further includes the following steps:

[0067] After the polymer film layer is developed, the polymer film layer is cured.

[0068] In this embodiment, after the polymer film layer is developed, the polymer film layer is cured by baking to cure the polymer film layer and improve the corrosion resistance and mechanical strength of the drooping cantilever structure 100. In addition, the curing treatment can also enhance the adhesion between the polymer film layer and the substrate 200. Here, the curing treatment is carried out in an oven, that is, the polymer film layer is baked in the oven to achieve the curing treatment, the baking time is 60 minutes, the baking temperature is 280°C, and the protective atmosphere during the baking process is nitrogen.

[0069] In a further embodiment, after step S200, the method for preparing the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 further includes the following steps:

[0070] The substrate 200 and the polymer film layer are subjected to a heating process.

[0071] In this embodiment, the substrate 200 and the polymer film layer are subjected to a heat treatment to increase the adhesion between the polymer film layer and the substrate 200, improve the uniformity of the polymer film layer, increase the modeling strength of the polymer film layer, and effectively remove the solvent in the polymer film layer. Here, during the heating treatment, the polymer film layer is first placed at 65° C. and baked for 10 minutes, and then baked at 95° C. for 20 minutes.

[0072] In a further embodiment, in step S100, the method for preparing the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 further includes the following steps:

[0073] The substrate 200 is sequentially subjected to plasma cleaning, wet cleaning and dehydration baking.

[0074] In this embodiment, before the polymer film layer is coated on the top surface of the substrate 200, the substrate 200 is sequentially subjected to plasma cleaning, wet cleaning and dehydration baking, that is, plasma cleaning can remove organic matter remaining on the surface of the substrate 200, improve the surface cleanliness, thereby enhancing the adhesion between the polymer film layer and the substrate 200, and improving the stability and reliability of the polymer film layer. Plasma cleaning can also perform micro-machining on the surface of the substrate 200, for example, roughening the surface of the substrate 200 to provide a better base for subsequent polymer film layer coating. Wet cleaning uses a cleaning liquid such as a chemical solvent or deionized water to deeply clean the substrate 200 by soaking, spraying, etc., to remove contaminants that may not be completely removed by plasma cleaning. Dehydration baking removes moisture from the surface of the substrate 200 by heating the substrate 200 to ensure that the surface of the substrate 200 is clean and dry. In a preferred embodiment, the power of plasma cleaning is 800 W, the cleaning time is 8 minutes, the wet cleaning method is SPM (Sulfuric Peroxide Mixture) cleaning, the baking temperature of dehydration baking is 200° C., and the baking time is 10 minutes.

[0075] In a further embodiment, the substrate 200 is made of silicon wafer or glass.

[0076] The present invention also provides a drooping cantilever structure 100, the drooping cantilever structure 100 includes a support portion 10 and at least one cantilever arm 20, the support portion 10 is located on the top surface of the substrate 200, and the support portion 10 is configured to protrude upward from the top surface of the substrate 200 toward a side away from the substrate 200, and the cantilever arm 20 is configured to protrude from the support portion 10 toward a side away from the support portion 10, wherein the drooping cantilever structure 100 is prepared according to the above-mentioned preparation method. Here, the number of cantilever arms 20 can be two or more, and the two cantilever arms 20 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the support portion 10. The preparation method of the drooping cantilever structure 100 will not be described one by one here. The present invention also provides an application of a drooping cantilever structure 100 in a MEMS biosensor, and the drooping cantilever structure 100 is prepared according to the above-mentioned preparation method. The preparation method of the drooping cantilever structure 100 will not be described one by one here.

[0077] In this embodiment, the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 is applied to a MEMS biosensor, that is, the drooping cantilever beam structure 100 can be applied to various fluid detections in MEMS biosensors, for example, in vivo biological molecule concentration detection, protein adsorption and detection, and nanopore sequencing, etc. The drooping cantilever beam structure 100 in this embodiment has a larger size range, which can increase the detection range of the MEMS biosensor.
