Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), and in particular to a second-generation powerful unit and reverse thrust system of an advanced capacitive nano-electromechanical chip. 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). This application provides an advanced capacitive nanoelectromechanical chip second-generation strong unit and reverse thrust system.
[0013] In the first aspect, the present application provides a second generation powerful unit of an advanced capacitor nano-electromechanical chip, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0014] A second generation powerful unit of an advanced capacitive nano-electromechanical chip, comprising a side support, a diaphragm and a substrate, wherein the diaphragm is fixed on the side support; the side support is fixed on the substrate; the diaphragm is located above the substrate, and a cavity is provided between the diaphragm and the substrate;
[0015] A first diaphragm support structure and a second diaphragm support structure are sequentially arranged in the cavity below the diaphragm for supporting the diaphragm, and the first diaphragm support structure and the second diaphragm support structure are fixed on the side pillars; the first diaphragm support structure is located below the diaphragm, and the second diaphragm support structure is located on the side of the first diaphragm support structure away from the diaphragm; the second diaphragm support structure is located below the first diaphragm support structure.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the capacitance effect and nano-scale mechanical structure are used to achieve efficient energy conversion; compared with the traditional CMUT, it has a higher sound pressure output. By precisely designing the size and shape of the cavity, the emission direction and frequency characteristics of the ultrasound can be optimized. The diaphragm support structure provides additional support and stability to ensure that the diaphragm can still work normally under the high-voltage emission voltage. It helps to reduce the deformation and fatigue of the diaphragm and extend the service life of the CNUT. In view of the contradiction between the propagation of ultrasound at high sound pressure in the medium and the material and structural limitations of the CNUT, the second-generation CNUT unit has achieved a breakthrough through innovative design. It can withstand higher emission voltages while ensuring efficient ultrasonic emission, thereby increasing the propagation distance and sound intensity of the ultrasound. The first diaphragm support structure is directly located under the diaphragm and is the main support structure of the diaphragm; it provides the necessary mechanical support to ensure that the diaphragm can vibrate stably when subjected to voltage. At the same time, the design of the first diaphragm support structure can also affect the vibration mode and frequency response of the diaphragm. The second diaphragm support structure is located on the side of the first diaphragm support structure away from the diaphragm; the second diaphragm support structure provides additional support for the first diaphragm support structure, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire diaphragm support structure. This helps reduce the deformation and fatigue of the diaphragm during vibration and improves the service life of the CNUT. The vibration characteristics and frequency response of the CNUT can be further adjusted by adjusting the material, size and shape of the second diaphragm support structure. This provides more design flexibility to achieve specific application requirements. The dual-structure support design significantly enhances the stability of the diaphragm support structure, allowing the CNUT to maintain a stable working state under high-voltage transmission voltage. By precisely designing the parameters of the first and second diaphragm support structures, the vibration characteristics and frequency response of the CNUT can be optimized to meet specific application requirements. The dual-structure support design helps reduce the deformation and fatigue of the diaphragm, thereby extending the service life of the CNUT.
[0017] Optionally, the first diaphragm support structure and the second diaphragm support structure are annular structures, and the first diaphragm support structure, the second diaphragm support structure and the peripheral side edges of the diaphragm are aligned; the first diaphragm support structure, the second diaphragm support structure and the diaphragm are concentrically arranged.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the first diaphragm support structure, the second diaphragm support structure and the diaphragm are all 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 radius corresponding to the inner ring of the first diaphragm support structure is smaller than the radius corresponding to the inner ring of the second diaphragm support structure, which means that the second diaphragm support structure provides additional support for the first diaphragm support structure in the radial direction. This design of radius difference helps to enhance the overall stiffness of the structure while maintaining the flexibility of the diaphragm. The outer peripheral edges of the first diaphragm support structure, the second 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 annular structure design enhances the overall stability of the CNUT, so that the diaphragm can maintain a stable shape and position during vibration. By precisely controlling the radius difference between the first diaphragm support structure and the second 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.

[0099] Embodiment 1
[0100] The present application embodiment discloses a second generation powerful unit of an advanced capacitor nano-electromechanical chip, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , including a side support 4, a diaphragm 1 and a substrate 2, wherein the diaphragm 1 is fixed on the side support 4; the side support 4 is fixed on the substrate 2. The diaphragm 1 is located above the substrate 2, and a cavity 3 is provided between the diaphragm 1 and the substrate 2. Below the diaphragm 1, a first diaphragm support 5 structure and a second diaphragm support 6 structure are sequentially provided in the cavity 3, for supporting the diaphragm 1, and the first diaphragm support 5 structure and the second diaphragm support 6 structure are fixed on the side support 4. The first diaphragm support 5 structure is located below the diaphragm 1, and the second diaphragm support 6 structure is located on the side of the first diaphragm support 5 structure away from the diaphragm 1; the second diaphragm support 6 structure is located below the first diaphragm support 5 structure.
[0101] Utilizing the capacitance effect and nano-scale mechanical structure, efficient energy conversion is achieved; compared with the traditional CMUT, it has a higher sound pressure output. By precisely designing the size and shape of the cavity 3, the emission direction and frequency characteristics of the ultrasound can be optimized. The diaphragm 1 support structure provides additional support and stability to ensure that the diaphragm 1 can still work normally under the high-voltage emission voltage. It helps to reduce the deformation and fatigue of the diaphragm 1 and extend the service life of the CNUT. In view of the contradiction between the propagation of ultrasound at high sound pressure in the medium and the limitations of the CMUT materials and structures, the second-generation CNUT unit has achieved a breakthrough through innovative design. It can withstand higher emission voltages while ensuring efficient ultrasonic emission, thereby increasing the propagation distance and sound intensity of the ultrasound.
[0102] The first diaphragm support 5 structure is directly located under the diaphragm 1 and is the main supporting structure of the diaphragm 1; it provides the necessary mechanical support to ensure that the diaphragm 1 can vibrate stably when subjected to voltage. At the same time, the design of the first diaphragm support 5 structure can also affect the vibration mode and frequency response of the diaphragm 1. The second diaphragm support 6 structure is located on the side of the first diaphragm support 5 structure away from the diaphragm 1; the second diaphragm support 6 structure provides additional support for the first diaphragm support 5 structure, thereby enhancing the stability of the entire diaphragm 1 support structure. This helps to reduce the deformation and fatigue of the diaphragm 1 during vibration and improve the service life of the CNUT. By adjusting the material, size and shape of the second diaphragm support 6 structure, the vibration characteristics and frequency response of the CNUT can be further adjusted. This provides more design flexibility to achieve specific application requirements. The dual-structure support design significantly enhances the stability of the diaphragm 1 support structure, allowing the CNUT to maintain a stable working state under high-voltage transmission voltage. By accurately designing the parameters of the first and second diaphragm support 6 structures, the vibration characteristics and frequency response of the CNUT can be optimized to meet specific application requirements. The double-structure support design helps to reduce deformation and fatigue of the diaphragm 1, thereby extending the service life of the CNUT.
[0103] The first diaphragm support 5 structure and the second diaphragm support 6 structure are annular structures, and the outer peripheral edges of the first diaphragm support 5 structure, the second diaphragm support 6 structure and the diaphragm 1 are aligned; the first diaphragm support 5 structure, the second diaphragm support 6 structure and the diaphragm 1 are concentrically arranged.
[0104] The first diaphragm support 5 structure, the second diaphragm support 6 structure and the diaphragm 1 are all 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 radius corresponding to the inner ring of the first diaphragm support 5 structure is smaller than the radius corresponding to the inner ring of the second diaphragm support 6 structure, which means that the second diaphragm support 6 structure provides additional support for the first diaphragm support 5 structure in the radial direction. This design of radius difference helps to enhance the overall stiffness of the structure while maintaining the flexibility of the diaphragm 1. The outer peripheral edges of the first diaphragm support 5 structure, the second diaphragm support 6 structure and the diaphragm 1 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 annular structure design enhances the overall stability of the CNUT, so that the diaphragm 1 can maintain a stable shape and position during vibration. By precisely controlling the radius difference between the first diaphragm support 5 structure and the second diaphragm support 6 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 1 during vibration, reduce deformation and fatigue, and thus extend the service life of the CNUT.

[0177] 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 movement of the diaphragm 1 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.25 Simulation diagram analysis.

[0182] (4) When the chip D is 200 microns in size, in seawater, the chip is surrounded by seawater on the outside and air (1.29 kg / m^3) on the inside, the maximum peak value of the total reaction force on the Y axis reaches 0.058 Newton within one arc cycle of the X axis. Fig.29 .
[0183] (5) When the chip D is 400 microns in size, in fresh water, with fresh water outside the chip and air (1.29 kg / m^3) inside, the maximum peak value of the total reaction force on the Y axis reaches 0.2056 Newton within one arc cycle of the X axis. Fig.30 .
[0184] (6) When the chip D is 614 microns in size, and the atmosphere, the chip's exterior and interior are all air (1.29 kg / m^3), the reverse thrust is 1.872 N. Fig.31 .

[0186] Before the chip is packaged, the weight of the CNUT chip = the volume of each layer of material × density × gravitational acceleration, thrust = reaction force, and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the chip unit = thrust / weight of the chip unit; therefore, the thrust-to-weight ratio is shown in Table 3:
