Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of micro / nano-electromechanical systems, and in particular to a temperature self-compensating two-dimensional material resonant MEMS pressure sensor, a measuring method and a preparation method. Background Art
[0002] Resonant sensors, also known as frequency sensors, utilize resonant elements (such as vibrating wires, vibrating cylinders, vibrating beams, and diaphragms) to convert the measured variable into a frequency signal. Their operating principle is based on the principle of resonance. When the measured variable changes, the natural frequency of the vibrating element changes. This frequency change is converted into an electrical signal by a measuring device, thereby enabling the measurement of the measured variable. Resonant pressure sensors measure the natural frequency of a resonant element as a function of pressure. When external pressure acts on the sensor's sensitive element, the element deforms, causing a change in its equivalent stiffness and, consequently, a shift in the resonant natural frequency. Compared to traditional pressure sensors, resonant pressure sensors offer advantages such as miniaturization, integration, high sensitivity, excellent stability, high resolution, fast response, and digital output. Currently, these sensors typically use metal, quartz, or silicon as resonators, and are excited and detected electrically or optically. Optical methods can photothermally excite the resonator with an intensity-modulated laser beam, and then detect the excited resonance using optical interferometry. Compared with electric resonant sensors, optical fiber resonant sensors have the advantages of miniaturization, high sensitivity, resistance to electromagnetic interference, strong multiplexing capability, and membrane protection.
[0003] Graphene has excellent properties, such as single-atomic layer thickness, high Young's modulus, high thermal conductivity, and excellent fatigue performance. Its overload capacity is far superior to materials such as silicon. Therefore, graphene membranes have good potential as resonant sensitive membranes. Graphene-based nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) have been applied to pressure sensors. Graphene can be used as an ultra-sensitive membrane to detect pressure. Replacing traditional silicon membranes in traditional MEMS pressure sensors with graphene membranes will significantly improve their responsiveness and reduce their size. However, current research on graphene resonant pressure sensors is still limited to laboratory environments, and most of the focus is on theoretical discussions of graphene resonant characteristics and their experimental verification. In 2017, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics produced a dual-graphene resonant beam pressure sensor (CN106918420A) that achieves quasi-differential measurement and eliminates the influence of environmental factors such as temperature. The sensor is entirely based on the principle of electrical excitation and electrical detection, which is different from the optical excitation / pickup method used in the present invention. In 2019, Steeneken et al. from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands proposed a method to prevent gas leakage between the interface of graphene and SiO2. By using electron beam induced deposition technology to deposit SiO2 on the edge of suspended multilayer graphene sheets, the gas permeability between graphene and SiO2 substrate was reduced by 10%. 4 times. In 2021, Li Cheng and others from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics disclosed a vacuum-encapsulated graphene resonant fiber pressure sensor and its manufacturing method (CN2021100376236), but the sensor did not include a temperature compensation structure, resulting in low measurement accuracy. In 2022, Wang Yiping's research group at Shenzhen University reported an ultra-high-sensitivity optomechanical Au / graphene film gas pressure sensor. The Au / graphene film was attached to a hollow-core optical fiber to make an FP resonant pressure sensor with a resolution as low as 7.16×10 -9 mbar, but its graphene film is in direct contact with the environment to be measured, resulting in limitations such as low stability. In 2024, More et al. from the Indian Institute of Science fabricated a graphene resonant pressure sensor on a SiO2 diaphragm. They used a monolithic packaging structure to generate a pressure differential across the diaphragm. Compared with a probe structure, the sensor cannot be placed independently in the environment to be measured, which to some extent limits its application range.
[0004] In addition, for graphene resonant pressure sensors, environmental factors such as temperature and air damping can cause changes in the resonant frequency, which will not only reduce the measurement accuracy of the sensor but also have an adverse effect on its working stability.

[0111] In the following examples, graphene is selected as a typical two-dimensional material.
[0112] Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the principle structure of the temperature self-compensating graphene resonant MEMS pressure sensor of the present invention, which mainly includes a silicon pressure sensitive membrane 1, a graphene pressure sensitive membrane 2, a graphene temperature compensation membrane 3, a glass cover 4, a glass capillary 5, a detection optical fiber 6 of the graphene pressure sensitive membrane, and a detection optical fiber 7 of the graphene temperature compensation membrane.
[0113] Two grooves are etched on the upper surface of the silicon wafer to prevent the graphene from adhering to the glass during anodic bonding. Then, blind holes are etched in the centers of the two grooves to serve as the substrate for the graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3. A cavity is etched back on the silicon wafer to form the silicon pressure sensitive film 1. The graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3 are transferred to the surface of the blind holes respectively by dry transfer. The graphene pressure sensitive film 2 is located in the center of the silicon pressure sensitive film 1 and is sensitive to pressure and temperature changes. The graphene temperature compensation film 3 is located at the edge of the silicon pressure sensitive film 1. , which is only sensitive to temperature changes and eliminates temperature effects by detecting differential resonant frequencies; the glass wafer 4 and the silicon pressure-sensitive film 1 are anodically bonded under vacuum conditions to complete the vacuum packaging of the graphene pressure-sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3, and then the pieces are diced to obtain independent sensor units; the detection optical fiber 6 of the graphene pressure-sensitive film and the detection optical fiber 7 of the graphene temperature compensation film are respectively fixed in the central and edge holes of the glass capillary 5, and aligned with the centers of the graphene pressure-sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3, and fixed with high-temperature resistant glue to form a complete sensor.
[0114] The pressure sensitive measurement principle and working process of this embodiment are as follows:
[0115] The pressure to be measured first acts on the lower surface of the silicon pressure-sensitive membrane 1, causing its upper surface to deform upward. This in turn causes the graphene pressure-sensitive membrane 2, located at the exact center of the silicon pressure-sensitive membrane 1's upper surface, to deform, thereby changing the resonant frequency and amplitude of the graphene pressure-sensitive membrane 2. Simultaneously, the graphene temperature compensation membrane 3, located at the exact center of the silicon pressure-sensitive membrane 1, does not deform. Because the detection optical fibers 6 and 7 of the graphene pressure-sensitive membrane and the graphene temperature compensation membrane form a Fabry-Perot interferometer cavity between the graphene pressure-sensitive membrane 2 and the graphene temperature compensation membrane 3, respectively, the amplitude changes of the graphene membranes cause changes in the intensity of the interference light. The pressure to be measured is measured by demodulating the interference light intensity.
[0116] The temperature compensation principle and working process of this embodiment are:
[0117] The graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3 have the same shape and structural dimensions. The graphene pressure sensitive film 2 is sensitive to both pressure and ambient temperature, while the graphene temperature compensation film 3 is only sensitive to ambient temperature. Under different ambient temperatures, the temperature effect is eliminated by detecting the differential resonant frequency.
[0118] This embodiment provides a set of process flows for manufacturing a temperature self-compensated graphene resonant MEMS pressure sensor, wherein the micromachining process consists of Figure 2 Shown, including the following steps:
[0119] In step 1, a clean 500 μm thick silicon wafer 100 is thermally oxidized to grow a silicon dioxide layer with a thickness of about 10 μm on the surface of the silicon wafer, and two circular grooves are etched on the surface of the silicon dioxide layer only from the first etching. The circular shallow grooves have a diameter of 200 μm and a depth of about 10 μm to avoid direct contact between the glass cover and the graphene resonator after bonding.
[0120] Step 2: Perform secondary etching in the two circular grooves on the surface of the silicon dioxide layer using an RIE process to form a substrate for the graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3.
[0121] Step 3: A pressure-sensitive area with a diameter of 5 mm and a thickness of 100 μm is etched from the back of the lower surface of the silicon wafer to form a silicon pressure-sensitive membrane 1 .
[0122] In step 4, the PMMA / graphene film is transferred to the two circular grooves on the surface of the silicon dioxide layer and adsorbed on the silicon pressure sensitive film 1 under the action of van der Waals force. The silicon / graphene / PMMA is placed in a high-temperature annealing furnace in a nitrogen environment and annealed at 350°C for 3 hours to remove the PMMA on the graphene surface and form a fixed suspended graphene structure above the blind hole.
[0123] In step 5, a layer of SiO2 is deposited around the graphene film by the FIB process to clamp and fix the graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3.
[0124] In step 6, a 100 μm thick Pyrex7740 glass wafer 4 is selected as the capping material. Through a vacuum anodic bonding process, one side of the silicon wafer with the graphene film is aligned and bonded to the unprocessed side of the glass wafer to achieve vacuum packaging of the graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3.
[0125] In step 7, the detection optical fiber 6 of the graphene pressure sensitive film and the detection optical fiber 7 of the graphene temperature compensation film are fixed in the central and edge holes of the glass capillary 5, respectively, and aligned with the center of the graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3, and fixed with high-temperature resistant glue to form a complete sensor.
[0126] This embodiment provides a method for assembling a set of temperature self-compensating graphene resonant MEMS pressure sensors. The assembly method flow chart is as follows: Figure 3 Shown, including the following steps:
[0127] Step 1: Make a holder for the optical fiber ferrule: Assemble the holder on the micro-movement stage with screws so that the micro-movement stage can perform long-distance micro-displacement adjustment.
[0128] Step 2, respectively fix the detection optical fiber 6 of the graphene pressure sensitive film and the detection optical fiber 7 of the graphene temperature compensation film to the glass capillary 5: cut the center of the single-mode optical fiber jumper, strip the bare fiber at one end and cut the end face flat, insert the single-mode optical fiber into the fixing hole of the glass capillary, and make the optical fiber end face flush with the end face of the glass capillary, then seal the tail of the optical fiber capillary with high-temperature resistant liquid glue, and fix the detection optical fiber 6 of the graphene pressure sensitive film and the detection optical fiber 7 of the graphene temperature compensation film to the glass capillary 5.
[0129] Step 3: Adjust the fiber end face position: Insert the glass capillary into the fixture and use the micro-motion stage to adjust the fiber end face position so that the fiber end face can be clearly seen in the center of the microscope eyepiece and is in the focal plane of the microscope. Then adjust the micro-motion stage to keep the relative positions of the micro-motion stage, fixture, and fiber fixed.
[0130] Step 4: Load the visible light source: Connect the fiber jumper end to the red visible light laser source and adjust the output optical power of the light source appropriately so that the clear aperture at the center of the fiber can be observed through a microscope.
[0131] Step 5: Coarsely adjust the distance between the graphene and the fiber end face: Customize the bracket for the graphene resonator packaging structure and secure the silicon pressure-sensitive film 1 to it, ensuring that the upper surfaces of the graphene pressure-sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature-compensation film 3 are approximately 1-2 mm from the fiber end face. This prevents contact between the resonator and the fiber end face, potentially causing mechanical damage to the fiber or the packaged resonator structure. The position of the micro-motion stage is then adjusted to ensure a clear image of the graphene and substrate within the field of view. At this point, the upper surface of the glass cover plate of the graphene resonator packaging structure is approximately 50 μm from the fiber end face where the laser is emitted.
[0132] Step 6, fine-tuning the distance between graphene and the optical fiber end face: irradiate the output light of the broadband light source to the surface of the graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3, and the reflected light is received by the spectrometer. The cavity length can be detected in real time through the reflection spectrum data of the graphene.
[0133] Step 7: Adjust the position of the glass capillary 5 so that the reflected light spot on the graphene pressure sensitive film 2 and the graphene temperature compensation film 3 is coaxial with the fiber end faces of the detection fiber 6 of the graphene pressure sensitive film and the detection fiber 7 of the graphene temperature compensation film, and the red light spot emitted from the center of the fiber is located at the center of the graphene resonator.
[0134] Step 8, fixing the silicon pressure-sensitive membrane 1 / glass cover plate 4 assembly to the glass capillary 5: After completing the alignment of the light spot with the relative positions of the graphene pressure-sensitive membrane 2 and the graphene temperature compensation membrane 3, fix the glass cover plate 4 to the glass capillary 5 to complete the assembly of the temperature-self-compensating graphene resonant MEMS pressure sensor.
