[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0046] Figures 1 to 14 is a schematic structural diagram of each step in a method for manufacturing an integrated MEMS chip according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig.15 yes Fig.14 A schematic diagram of the projection of each structure on the surface of the first substrate is shown in FIG. 1 , which is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0047] First, the first substrate 100 is formed.
[0048] The first substrate 100 includes a first structure layer 110 and a first dielectric film 120 .
[0049] Figures 1 to 3 1 is a schematic diagram of each step of forming the first substrate 100 in this embodiment. Figures 1 to 3 A method of forming the first substrate 100 is described in detail.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 , providing an initial first substrate 11.
[0051] In this embodiment, the material of the initial first substrate 11 is silicon.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 , patterning the initial first substrate 11 to form a first structure layer 110.
[0053] The first structure layer 110 has a first opening 111 and a second opening 112 which are independent of each other.
[0054] The first opening 111 is used to form a first cavity 610 (such as Fig.11 The second opening 112 is used to form a second cavity 620 (as shown in FIG. Fig.11 shown).
[0055] The first opening 111 has a first projection 601 (eg Fig.15 shown).
[0056] In this embodiment, the material of the first structure layer 110 corresponds to the material of the initial first substrate 11 , that is, the material of the first structure layer 110 is silicon.
[0057] In some embodiments, the method of patterning the initial first substrate 11 includes: forming a first mask layer (not shown) on the surface of the initial first substrate 11, the first mask layer exposing a portion of the surface of the initial first substrate 11; using the first mask layer as a mask, etching the initial first substrate 11 until a first structural layer 110 having a first opening 111 and a second opening 112 is formed.
[0058] Furthermore, after the first structure layer 110 is formed, the first mask layer is removed.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 A first dielectric film 120 is formed on the surface of the first structure layer 110 , the inner wall surface of the first opening 111 , and the inner wall surface of the second opening 112 .
[0060] The material of the first dielectric film 120 is different from that of the first structure layer 110 .
[0061] In this embodiment, the material of the first dielectric film 120 is silicon oxide.
[0062] In the present embodiment, the first dielectric film 120 is preferably formed by oxidizing the first structure layer 110 .
[0063] In some other embodiments, the first dielectric film may also be formed by a deposition process.
[0064] In yet another embodiment, please Figure 1 Based on reference Fig.18 and Fig.19The method for forming the first substrate includes: forming an initial first dielectric film 1211 (such as Fig.18 ); patterning the initial first substrate 11 and the initial first dielectric film 1211 to form a first structural layer 110 and a first dielectric film 121 located on the surface of the first structural layer 110 (as shown); Fig.19 shown).
[0065] Next, a MEMS structure layer is formed on the first substrate 100 .
[0066] The MEMS structure layer has an auxiliary groove 313 (eg, Figure 4 As shown), the first dielectric film 120 and the auxiliary groove 313 enclose a micro gas channel 400 (as shown Figure 5 shown).
[0067] Figures 4 to 8 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of forming a MEMS structure layer on the first substrate 100 in this embodiment. Figures 4 to 8 A method of forming a MEMS structure layer on the first substrate 100 is described in detail.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 , providing a third substrate 300.
[0069] The third substrate 300 has a first side 301 and a second side 302 opposite to each other.
[0070] In this embodiment, the material of the third substrate 300 is silicon.
[0071] Continue to refer Figure 4 , an auxiliary trench 313 exposed at the first side 301 is formed in the third substrate 300 .
[0072] The auxiliary groove 313 has an auxiliary groove projection 6031 (eg Fig.15 shown).
[0073] The groove length L1 of the auxiliary groove 313 is greater than the groove depth H. The groove length L1 of the auxiliary groove 313 refers to the total length of the extension path of the auxiliary groove 313 .
[0074] In some embodiments, the trench length L1 of the auxiliary trench 313 is greater than 10 times the trench depth H.
[0075] Furthermore, the groove length L1 of the auxiliary groove 313 is greater than 10 micrometers, and the groove depth H of the auxiliary groove 313 is in the range of 0.1 micrometer to 1 micrometer.
[0076] In this embodiment, the number of the auxiliary groove 313 is one.
[0077] In some embodiments, there are multiple auxiliary grooves 313 so that when one of the micro-air channels 400 is blocked due to environmental or process pollutants, other micro-air channels 400 can ensure ventilation, and the air intake or exhaust efficiency can also be better guaranteed.
[0078] In this embodiment, the auxiliary groove 313 is a straight line structure.
[0079] In another embodiment, the auxiliary groove includes a plurality of straight structures and a plurality of bent structures, wherein the plurality of straight structures and the plurality of bent structures are sequentially connected, and the auxiliary groove has an auxiliary groove projection 6032 (such as Fig.16 ), please refer to Fig.17 The length of the auxiliary groove L2 = a1 + a2 + (3 × a3) + b1 + b2 + b3 + b4 + b5 + b6.
[0080] In some other embodiments, the auxiliary groove may also be a circular coil structure, or the auxiliary groove may also be a combination of at least one of a straight structure and a bent structure and a circular coil structure.
[0081] By adopting a bending structure or a disc tube structure, it is beneficial to increase the ratio of the length to the width of the auxiliary groove and increase the complexity of the auxiliary groove extension path. Therefore, in the subsequent process of forming the material of the first electrical interconnection structure, the risk of conductive material molecules entering the first cavity through the auxiliary groove is further reduced. Therefore, while forming cavities with different gas pressures, the reliability of the device is improved.
[0082] In some embodiments, the method for forming the auxiliary groove 313 includes: forming a second mask layer (not shown) on the surface of the third substrate 300, the second mask layer exposing a portion of the surface of the third substrate 300; using the second mask layer as a mask, etching the third substrate 300 until the auxiliary groove 313 is formed.
[0083] Furthermore, after the auxiliary trench 313 is formed, the second mask layer is removed.
[0084] It is important to understand that Figure 4 The steps shown are similar to Figures 1 to 3 There is no sequential order between the steps shown in .
[0085] Please refer to Figure 5 After the auxiliary groove 313 is formed, the third substrate 300 is bonded to the first substrate 100 , with the first side 301 facing the first substrate 100 .
[0086] Specifically, the surface of the first side 301 of the third substrate 300 is laminated to the first dielectric film 120 to achieve bonding between the third substrate 300 and the first substrate 100 , wherein the first dielectric film 120 is a bonding layer when the third substrate 300 and the first substrate 100 are bonded.
[0087] Thus, the auxiliary groove 313 opens toward the first substrate 100 , and the first dielectric film 120 and the auxiliary groove 313 enclose a micro gas channel 400 .
[0088] The micro-air channel 400 is communicated with the first opening 111 .
[0089] Please refer to Figure 6 After the third substrate 300 is bonded to the first substrate 100 , the third substrate 300 is thinned from the second side 302 to form a MEMS material layer 303 .
[0090] The process of forming the MEMS material layer 303 includes: grinding the third substrate 300 to thin the third substrate 300 , and then performing chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) on the surface of the thinned third substrate 300 to planarize the surface of the thinned third substrate 300 .
[0091] Please refer to Figure 7 , a second electrical interconnection layer 320 is formed on the surface of the MEMS material layer 303 .
[0092] In some embodiments, the material of the second electrical interconnect layer 320 is metal.
[0093] Furthermore, the material of the second electrical interconnection layer 320 is a stacked layer of one or more of Ti, TiW, Cr, Al, Ge, Cu and Au.
[0094] In some embodiments, the method for forming the second electrical interconnection layer 320 includes: forming a second electrical interconnection material layer (not shown) on the surface of the MEMS material layer 303; forming a third mask layer (not shown) on the surface of the second electrical interconnection material layer, the third mask layer exposing a portion of the surface of the second electrical interconnection material layer; etching the second electrical interconnection material layer using the third mask layer as a mask until the MEMS material layer 303 is exposed, thereby forming a patterned second electrical interconnection layer 320.
[0095] Please refer to Figure 8 After forming the second electrical interconnection layer 320 , the MEMS material layer 303 is patterned from the second side 302 to form a second structure layer 310 .
[0096] The second structure layer 310 includes a first sensor structure 311 corresponding to the first opening 111 and a second sensor structure 312 corresponding to the second opening 112 .
[0097] A large shear force will be generated during the grinding and planarization process. Since the third substrate 300 is thinned from the second side 302, and the MEMS material layer 303 is patterned from the second side 302 to form the second structure layer 310, the third substrate 300 with high structural strength bears the shear force during grinding and planarization, avoiding the shear force from damaging the more fragile second structure layer 310, thereby the manufactured integrated MEMS chip has good reliability.
[0098] In this embodiment, the material of the second structure layer 310 corresponds to that of the third substrate 300 , that is, the material of the second structure layer 310 is silicon.
[0099] In this embodiment, the etching process in the process of patterning the MEMS material layer 303 can produce a large etching ratio for the material of the MEMS material layer 303 and the material of the first dielectric film 120. Since the first dielectric film 120 is also located on the inner wall surface of the first opening 111 and the inner wall surface of the second opening 112, the first dielectric film 120 can also be used as a protective film to protect the inner wall surface of the first opening 111 and the inner wall surface of the second opening 112 during the etching process, thereby better ensuring the graphic size and morphology of the first opening 111 and the second opening 112. Please refer to Fig. 9 , providing a second substrate 200.
[0100] The second substrate 200 includes a substrate structure layer 210 , a second dielectric layer 220 , a third electrical interconnection layer 230 and a fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 .
[0101] In some embodiments, the base structure layer 210 includes a control chip or a driver chip.
[0102] In some other embodiments, the base structure layer may not include a chip.
[0103] The material of the base structure layer 210 includes silicon.
[0104] The second dielectric layer 220 is located on the surface of the base structure layer 210 .
[0105] In some embodiments, the material of the second dielectric layer 220 is a stacked combination of one or both of silicon oxide and silicon nitride.
[0106] The third electrical interconnect layer 230 is located within the second dielectric layer 220 .
[0107] In some embodiments, the material of the third electrical interconnection layer 230 is a stacked layer of one or a combination of two or more of Ti, TiW, TiN, Al, Cu, Au, and Cr.
[0108] The fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 is located on the surface of the second dielectric layer 220, and the fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 corresponds to the second electrical interconnection layer 320. The fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 is used for bonding with the second electrical interconnection layer 320.
[0109] In some embodiments, the material of the fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 is a stacked layer of one or a combination of two or more of Ti, TiW, Cr, Al, Ge, Cu, and Au.
[0110] Please refer to Fig.10 , a second substrate 200 is bonded on the MEMS structure layer to seal the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 to form a first cavity 610 and a second cavity 620 that are independent of each other.
[0111] During the bonding of the second substrate 200 to the MEMS structure layer, the process gas pressure of the bonding process is controlled so that the first cavity 610 and the second cavity 620 have the same initial gas pressure.
[0112] In addition, since the micro-air channel 400 is in communication with the first opening 111 , the micro-air channel 400 is also in communication with the first cavity 610 accordingly, so as to be used for subsequently evacuating or inflating the first cavity 610 .
[0113] Specifically, the method of bonding the second substrate 200 on the MEMS structure layer includes: making the fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 face the second side 302 , and aligning and laminating the fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 with the second electrical interconnection layer 320 .
[0114] A first overhead space is formed by spacing the fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 and the second electrical interconnection layer 320, and the second dielectric layer 220 and the first sensor structure 311. The first overhead space and the first opening 111 provide a deformation space for the first sensor structure 311, so that the first sensor structure 311 can be deformed in the first cavity 610 formed by the first overhead space and the first opening 111.
[0115] Similarly, a second overhead space is formed by spacing the fourth electrical interconnection layer 240 and the second electrical interconnection layer 320, and the second dielectric layer 220 and the second sensor structure 312. The second overhead space and the second opening 112 provide deformation space for the second sensor structure 312, so that the second sensor structure 312 can be deformed in the second cavity 620 formed by the second overhead space and the second opening 112.
[0116] Please refer to Fig.11 After bonding the second substrate 200 , the first substrate 100 is etched from the side opposite to the first dielectric film 120 to form a conductive through hole 130 independent of the first openings 111 and 112 in the first substrate 100 , and the conductive through hole 130 is connected to the micro gas channel 400 .
[0117] On the one hand, the conductive through hole 130 reserves space for forming the first electrical interconnection structure. On the other hand, the conductive through hole 130 and the first opening 111 are respectively connected to the micro-air channel 400. That is to say, the conductive through hole 130 and the first cavity 610 are respectively connected to the micro-air channel 400. Therefore, air can be exhausted or introduced into the first cavity 610 through the conductive through hole 130 and the micro-air channel 400.
[0118] In this embodiment, the first dielectric film 120 is not only a bonding layer when the third substrate 300 is bonded to the first substrate 100, but also a protective film for the first opening 111 and the second opening 112. Since the first dielectric film 120 and the auxiliary groove 313 enclose the micro-gas channel 400, and after bonding the second substrate 200, the first substrate 100 is etched from the side opposite to the first dielectric film 120, and a conductive through hole 130 independent of the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 and connected to the micro-gas channel 400 is formed in the first substrate 100, therefore, in the process of etching the first structure layer 110 to form the conductive through hole 130, there is the first dielectric film 120 between the first structure layer 110 and the auxiliary groove 313, and on this basis, the materials of the first structure layer 110 and the first dielectric film 120 are different, therefore, the etching process is as follows: The etching process for etching the first structure layer 110 can produce a larger etching ratio for the material of the first structure layer 110 and the material of the first dielectric film 120, so that the first dielectric film 120 can also serve as an etching stop layer in this process to protect the groove wall of the auxiliary groove 313 from being damaged. At the same time, the influencing factors of the etching process for etching the first structure layer 110 are reduced, and the process freedom is high. Thorough etching steps and cleaning steps can be performed to form a smooth conductive through hole 130 wall and reduce contaminants attached to the conductive through hole 130 wall, thereby forming a conductive through hole 130 with small wall roughness and less attached contaminants.
[0119] Furthermore, since the materials of the first dielectric film 120 (silicon oxide) and the second structure layer 310 (silicon) in the MEMS structure layer are also different, the etching process of etching the first dielectric film 120 to form the conductive through hole 130 has little effect on the second structure layer 310, so that the process of etching the first dielectric film 120 is not likely to damage the auxiliary groove 313.
[0120] In this embodiment, the bottom of the conductive via 130 has a second projection 602 (eg, Fig.15 shown).
[0121] In some embodiments, the method for forming the conductive via 130 includes: flipping the first substrate 100 after bonding the second substrate 200 so that the side of the first substrate 100 relative to the first dielectric film 120 faces upward; forming a fourth mask layer on the surface of the side of the first substrate 100 relative to the first dielectric film 120, the fourth mask layer exposing a portion of the surface of the side of the first substrate 100 relative to the first dielectric film 120; etching the first structure layer 110 using the fourth mask layer as a mask to form an initial conductive via (not shown) in the first structure layer 110, wherein the etching process for etching the first structure layer 110 includes an etching step and a cleaning step; after the initial conductive via is formed, continuing to etch the first dielectric film 120 using the fourth mask layer as a mask until the micro air channel 400 is exposed to form the conductive via 130.
[0122] In some embodiments, the fourth mask layer is removed after the conductive via 130 is formed.
[0123] Next, a first electrical interconnection structure 500 (eg, a first electrical interconnection structure 500) is formed in the micro gas channel 400 between the bottom of the conductive via 130 and the bottom of the auxiliary trench 313 and in the conductive via 130. Fig.14 As shown in FIG. 3 , the first electrical interconnection structure 500 is connected to the bottom of the auxiliary trench 313 .
[0124] In the present embodiment, the conductive via 130 not only reserves space for forming the first electrical interconnect structure 500, but also allows air to be pumped or introduced into the first cavity 610 through the conductive via 130 and the micro-air channel 400. At the same time, the first electrical interconnect structure 500 can not only serve as a part of the circuit in the integrated MEMS chip, but also takes into account the sealing of the micro-air channel 400. Therefore, the conductive via 130 and the first electrical interconnect structure 500 are not only used to achieve electrical interconnection, but also, through the combined use with the micro-air channel 400, the difference in air pressure in the first cavity 610 and the air pressure in the second cavity 620 is also achieved.
[0125] Specifically, since the conductive through hole 130 and the first opening 111 are respectively connected to the micro-air channel 400, that is, the conductive through hole 130 and the first cavity 610 are respectively connected to the micro-air channel 400, therefore, by setting the process gas pressure for forming the first electrical interconnection structure 500 to a target gas pressure different from the initial gas pressure, during the process of forming the first electrical interconnection structure 500, gas can be evacuated or introduced into the first cavity 610 through the conductive through hole 130 and the micro-air channel 400, so that the gas pressure in the first cavity 610 is adjusted to the target gas pressure. On this basis, since the first electrical interconnection structure 500 is formed in the micro-gas channel 400 between the bottom of the conductive through hole 130 and the bottom of the auxiliary groove 313, and in the conductive through hole 130, the first electrical interconnection structure 500 not only blocks the conductive through hole 130, thereby sealing the micro-gas channel 400 to maintain the target gas pressure in the first cavity 610, but also the first electrical interconnection structure 500 is connected to the bottom of the auxiliary groove 313, so that the first electrical interconnection structure 500 can be used as a part of the circuit in the integrated MEMS chip.
[0126] On this basis, since the groove length L1 of the auxiliary groove 313 is greater than the groove depth H, the MEMS structure layer has an auxiliary groove 313 opening toward the first substrate 100, and after bonding the second substrate 200, the first substrate 100 is etched from the side opposite to the first dielectric film 120 to form a conductive through hole 130. Therefore, not only the conductive material molecules entering the first cavity 610 through the micro-gas channel 400 are effectively reduced, but also the first electrical interconnection structure 500 has good and stable electrical properties while having good sealing properties for the micro-gas channel 400, thereby improving the reliability of the device while taking into account the electrical properties of the device.
[0127] Specifically, when the length L1 of the auxiliary groove 313 is greater than the depth H, during the process of forming the material of the first electrical interconnect structure 500, the conductive material molecules are likely to collide with the groove wall of the auxiliary groove 313 corresponding to the bottom of the conductive through hole 130 (e.g. Fig.11 Therefore, the number of conductive material molecules entering the first cavity 610 through the micro-air channel 400 can be effectively reduced.
[0128] On this basis, since the MEMS structure layer has an auxiliary groove 313 opening toward the first substrate 100, and after bonding the second substrate 200, the first substrate 100 is etched from the side opposite to the first dielectric film 120 to form a conductive through hole 130, the groove wall of the auxiliary groove 313 is prevented from being damaged. At the same time, the hole wall roughness of the conductive through hole 130 is small and the attached pollutants are less (please refer to the above description for related reasons).
[0129] Avoiding damage to the groove wall of the auxiliary groove 313 not only reduces the risk of gas leakage from the micro-gas channel 400 , but also reduces the risk of increasing the groove depth H, thereby ensuring that the conductive material molecules can easily collide with the groove wall of the auxiliary groove 313 at the bottom of the conductive through hole 130 .
[0130] The hole wall roughness of the conductive through hole 130 is small (i.e., the hole wall of the conductive through hole 130 is smooth) and there are few attached pollutants. Not only can the first electrical interconnection structure 500 formed in the conductive through hole 130 fully fit the hole wall of the conductive through hole 130, thereby reducing the risk of air leakage or air inflow from the gap between the first electrical interconnection structure 500 and the hole wall of the conductive through hole 130, but also the influence of pollutants on the conductive performance of the first electrical interconnection structure 500 is reduced.
[0131] In summary, the integrated MEMS chip manufacturing method of this embodiment not only realizes the difference in air pressure in the first cavity 610 and the second cavity 620 in the same MEMS chip, but also takes into account both device reliability and conductive performance.
[0132] Furthermore, when the groove length L1 of the auxiliary groove 313 is more than 10 times the groove depth H, it is ensured that the groove length of the auxiliary groove 313 is much larger than the groove width. Therefore, in the process of forming the material of the first electrical interconnection structure 500, it can be ensured that the possibility of conductive material molecules entering the first cavity 610 through the micro-air channel 400 is small.
[0133] In some embodiments, please refer to Fig.15 The auxiliary groove 313 is divided into a first end zone, a channel zone and a second end zone along the groove length, wherein the groove length of the first end zone and the second end zone are both smaller than the groove length of the channel zone, and a projection I of the first end zone on the surface of the first substrate 100 is within the range of the first projection 601, and a projection III of the second end zone on the surface of the first substrate 100 passes through the second projection 602 or is within the range of the second projection 602.
[0134] Since the groove length of the first end region and the groove length of the second end region are both smaller than the groove length of the channel region, and the projection I of the first end region on the surface of the first substrate 100 is within the range of the first projection 601, and the projection III of the second end region on the surface of the first substrate 100 passes through the second projection 602 or is within the range of the second projection 602, therefore, on the one hand, it is ensured that there is a sufficiently long micro-air channel 400 between the first cavity 610 and the conductive via 130 to effectively reduce the conductive material molecules entering the first cavity 610 through the micro-air channel 400, and on the other hand, the projection I realizes the connection between the first cavity 610 and the micro-air channel 400 within the range of the first projection 601, and the projection III passes through the second projection 602 or realizes the connection between the conductive via 130 and the micro-air channel 400 within the range of the second projection 602.
[0135] For ease of understanding and explanation, Fig.15 Schematically shows the projection I of the first end region on the surface of the first substrate 100, the projection II of the channel region on the surface of the first substrate 100, the projection III of the second end region on the surface of the first substrate 100, the first projection 601 and the second projection 602 in this embodiment, and, Fig.15 This is the case where projection III passes through the second projection 602 .
[0136] Figure 12 to Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of the steps of forming the first electrical interconnection structure 500 in this embodiment. Figure 12 to Figure 14 The steps of forming the first electrical interconnection structure 500 are described in detail.

[0141] In this embodiment, during the deposition of the seed material film 510, the process gas pressure of the deposition process is a target gas pressure different from the initial gas pressure, so that gas is extracted or introduced into the first cavity 610 through the conductive through hole 130 and the micro-gas channel 400, so that the gas pressure in the first cavity 610 is adjusted to the target gas pressure.
[0142] Preferably, the target air pressure is lower than the initial air pressure, so as to pump air into the first cavity 610 through the conductive vias 130 and the micro air channels 400. Compared with air intake, the pumping method can further reduce the conductive material molecules and possible contaminants entering the first cavity 610, thereby better improving device reliability.
[0143] In some embodiments, the film thickness of the seed material film 510 is more than three times of the groove depth H, so as to further ensure the sealing capability of the formed seed layer 511 to the micro air channel 400 .

[0152] The seed layer 511 and the filling conductive layer 521 form a double sealing layer, thereby effectively ensuring the sealing performance of the first electrical interconnection structure 500 to the micro gas channel 400 .
