For example, during the treatment of critically ill patients, intracranial pressure, intracoronary pressure, renal artery pressure, etc. need to be directly measured through surgical intervention or implantation to obtain more accurate changes in subtle vital signs of human organs. However, these areas are relatively narrow, and the required pressure and temperature sensors must be miniaturized to reach the lesion location for measurement. Due to its small size, light weight and low energy consumption, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology provides new possibilities for monitoring physiological parameters inside the human body.

If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. 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.

[0044] In clinical practice and medical research, the measurement of pressure and temperature in the human body plays a very important role. For example, during the treatment of critically ill patients, intracranial pressure, intracoronary pressure, renal artery pressure, etc. need to be directly measured through surgical intervention or implantation to obtain more accurate changes in subtle vital signs of human organs. However, these areas are relatively narrow, and the required pressure and temperature sensors must be miniaturized to reach the lesion location for measurement. Due to its small size, light weight and low energy consumption, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology provides new possibilities for monitoring physiological parameters inside the human body.

[0045] Most existing miniature probes use metal leads to electrically connect the pressure sensor, temperature sensor and PCB substrate, and then use silicone to seal the probe end. However, since the probe end is immersed in blood for a long time, the blood will slowly penetrate the silicone and corrode the metal leads, causing the pressure sensor or temperature sensor to work abnormally.

[0046] In order to solve the problem that metal lead connections are easily corroded in the prior art, the present application proposes a miniature probe, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the microprobe includes a housing 100, a PCB substrate 200, an intermediate carrier 300 and a first sensor 400. The housing 100 is a hollow tube, and a receiving cavity is defined inside the housing. The PCB substrate 200, the intermediate carrier 300 and the first sensor 400 are all arranged in the receiving cavity. An opening 110 is provided at one end of the housing 100 for extending into the human body, and the opening 110 is connected to the receiving cavity to expose the first sensor 400 in the receiving cavity. It can be understood that a shielding layer is provided on the housing 100, which can be used to shield external electromagnetic signals. The shielding layer can be provided on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity, or on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 100.

[0047] The PCB substrate 200 is disposed in the accommodating cavity. It should be noted that, considering the need for flexibility of the microprobe, the PCB substrate 200 is often made of flexible materials. For example, the PCB substrate 200 adopts a flexible circuit board structure and can be bent to a certain extent. It is understandable that flexible circuit boards are generally thinner and have relatively poor mechanical properties. The sensor in the prior art is directly welded on the flexible circuit board, which is prone to adverse effects on the zero drift and time drift of the sensor due to welding thermal stress, thereby affecting the product stability and production yield of the microprobe.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sensor 400 is disposed on the intermediate carrier 300 and is switched through the intermediate carrier 300. Specifically, the intermediate carrier 300 is provided with a second soldering pad 310 and a third soldering pad 320 electrically connected to each other, and the second soldering pad 310 and the third soldering pad 320 are electrically connected. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the intermediate carrier 300 is arranged in affixed with the PCB substrate 200, and the PCB substrate 200 is provided with a first soldering pad 210, and the first soldering pad 210 and the second soldering pad 310 are in corresponding contact and electrically connected through a welding process. It should be noted that when the flexible PCB substrate 200 is welded to the intermediate carrier 300, there is no risk of welding thermal stress breaking through the first sensor 400.

[0049] The first sensor 400 may be a temperature sensor 500, a pressure sensor or one or more of other sensors, and may be adjusted according to the parameters to be detected by the microprobe. Figures 1 to 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the microprobe is mainly used to detect the pressure at the lesion location, and for this purpose, the microprobe at least includes a pressure sensor.

[0050] It should be noted that in the prior art, the wire bonding process is often used to electrically connect the sensor to the PCB board, thereby forming metal leads that are easily corroded. In addition, since the metal leads are easily deformed and moved during welding, manual welding is often required, and the degree of automation is low.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the first sensor 400 is packaged on the intermediate carrier 300 by wafer-level packaging technology, and the intermediate carrier 300 is used for switching to replace the existing metal leads. Specifically, the first sensor 400 has a first surface 410 and a second surface 420 opposite to each other, and the first surface 410 can be exposed by the opening 110, that is, the first sensor 400 is located in the accommodating cavity and is arranged corresponding to the opening 110. Figure 1As shown, due to the piezoresistive pressure measurement principle of the pressure sensor, a first sealant 700 is encapsulated in the end area of ​​the accommodating cavity to fix and protect the first sensor 400. The first sealant 700 forms a groove at the position corresponding to the opening 110, and the bottom of the groove corresponds to the first surface 410 of the first sensor 400, so that body fluids such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid can enter the accommodating cavity from the opening 110 on the housing 100 and move to a position close to the first surface 410 to transmit the pressure of the body fluid to the first sensor 400, and then the first sensor 400 converts the body fluid pressure into an electrical signal output, while preventing the blood or the external environment from corroding the pressure sensor, ensuring that the pressure sensor can better respond to pressure changes. The second surface 420 of the first sensor 400 is provided with a fourth pad 421, and the first sensor 400 is attached to the intermediate carrier 300, and the fourth pad 421 is in contact with the third pad 320, and is electrically conductive through a welding process.

[0052] It is understandable that if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, during the mounting and welding process of the first sensor 400 and the intermediate carrier 300, the fourth pad 421 of the first sensor 400 can be firstly formed with a solder ball 422 by means of a BGA ball planting technology (Ball Grid Array), and then mounted on the intermediate carrier 300 by means of a flip chip packaging process (Flip Chip) to form an integrated sensor component. Similarly, the pads on the intermediate carrier 300 and the PCB substrate 200 can also be balled by means of a laser ball planting process to facilitate packaging and welding.

[0053] Based on the above, it can be found that the microprobe of the present application replaces the wire bonding process in the prior art through the transfer of the intermediate carrier 300, and the sensor and the intermediate carrier 300 are attached and connected, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of the circuit being corroded by blood, thereby extending the working time of the microprobe in the human body, improving the working stability of the microprobe, and facilitating medical staff to obtain accurate physiological parameters. In addition, since the embodiment of the present application adopts the advanced 3D-Sip system packaging process (3D-System in Package, i.e., three-dimensional system-level packaging), it can realize automated packaging, greatly improving the production efficiency of the microprobe.

[0054] In addition, it should be noted that the intermediate carrier 300 is made of high-purity single crystal silicon or silicon dioxide material, and has the characteristics of stable mechanical properties, high thermal stability, high resistivity and low electrical loss, and because its thermal expansion coefficient is similar to that of the first sensor 400, it can produce the same expansion change as the first sensor 400 when the package is heated, thereby reducing the impact of the packaging process on the zero drift and time drift of the first sensor 400, and avoiding problems such as output drift caused by stress. In addition, the intermediate carrier 300 is not easily corroded by blood, avoiding problems such as zero output drift caused by leakage of metal leads. In addition, the intermediate carrier 300 can also be obtained in the form of wafers or panel formats, and can be manufactured into an ultra-thin intermediate carrier 300 with a thickness as low as 50μm, thereby realizing the miniaturized packaging of the micro probe.

[0055] In addition, the intermediate carrier 300 can be a TSV (Through Silicon Via) structure or a TGV (Through Glass Via) structure. The intermediate carrier 300 of the TSV or TGV structure uses screen printing of wafer glass paste and sintering to form a sealed protective layer on the surface and internal circuits, thereby preventing the corrosion of the circuit caused by the penetration of human tissue fluid during long-term testing in clinical use.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first sensor 400 and the PCB substrate 200 are respectively attached to two opposite surfaces of the intermediate carrier 300, and a through hole 330 is provided on the intermediate carrier 300. A conductive part is provided in the through hole 330, and the second solder pad 310 and the third solder pad 320 are respectively provided at two ends of the through hole 330 and are electrically connected through the conductive part.

[0057] The through hole 330 can be formed by laser drilling, or the through hole 330 can be manufactured by laser induced etching process. Specifically, the laser induced etching process first irradiates the pre-punched area of ​​the intermediate carrier 300 with a laser to change the microstructure inside the material, weaken the structure of the pre-opening area of ​​the intermediate carrier 300, improve its processing performance and make it easier to be removed by etching liquid, thereby increasing the etching rate of the pre-opening area compared to the surrounding area, so as to reduce the probability of cracks on the intermediate substrate during the etching process and improve the etching success rate. This process can form a through hole 330 with a diameter of 20μm to 200μm, which is conducive to the miniaturization of vertical circuits.

[0058] It should be noted that a conductive part connecting the pads at both ends is provided in the through hole 330. The conductive part can be a metal layer attached to the hole wall of the through hole 330 by a metal deposition process such as copper plating, or can also be a conductive material filled in the through hole 330, which can directly connect the sensor and the PCB substrate 200 attached to the opposite surface of the intermediate carrier 300 to achieve the circuit switching of the intermediate carrier 300. It can be understood that the circuit structure of the intermediate carrier 300 is formed inside the intermediate carrier 300, and the two ends of the through hole 330 are respectively closed by the sensor and the PCB substrate 200, thereby forming a relatively sealed environment, avoiding blood erosion, and improving the long-term stability of the micro probe.

[0059] It should be noted that the electrical connection between the sensor and the PCB substrate 200 is achieved through a straight conductive portion, and the data transmission distance is shorter, which is beneficial to reducing the package volume of the microprobe, helping to reduce the generation of noise and parasitic capacitance, and helping to reduce signal propagation delay and power consumption.

[0060] In other embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the first sensor 400 and the PCB substrate 200 are attached to the same surface of the intermediate carrier 300, and a printed circuit 340 is provided on the intermediate carrier 300, and the second pad 310 and the third pad 320 are connected through the printed circuit 340. It can be understood that the printed circuit 340 is formed on the intermediate carrier 300 by etching, electroplating and other processes, and a protective coating is coated on the printed circuit 340 to prevent it from being corroded and damaged. In addition, the two ends of the printed circuit 340 extend to the bottom of the first sensor 400 and the bottom of the PCB substrate 200 respectively to achieve a fitting seal, thereby also being able to prevent corrosion by blood.

[0061] In such Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, a solution combining a printed circuit 340 and a conductive through hole 330 is adopted, and the interconnection between various sensors and chips is realized through the printed circuit 340 , and the connection between the chip and the PCB substrate 200 is realized through the conductive through hole 330 .

[0062] Specifically, in Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the first sensor 400 is a pressure sensor. It is understandable that during the pressure detection process, temperature changes have a great influence on the pressure detection accuracy. For this reason, in the micro probe of the present application, a temperature sensor 500 is also provided, and the communication connection between the temperature sensor 500 and the pressure sensor is realized through the intermediate carrier 300, so that the temperature data detected by the temperature sensor 500 can be used to compensate or correct the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor, thereby reducing the influence of temperature on the performance of the pressure sensor. It should be noted that the temperature sensor 500 can be a columnar or sheet-shaped NTC thermistor (full name: Negative Temperature Coefficient Thermi stor), which has the advantages of high sensitivity, small size, good stability, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, the pressure sensor is an absolute pressure sensor. The absolute pressure sensor is based on crystalline silicon micromechanical technology. By measuring the slight effect of pressure on the degree of flexural deformation of crystalline silicon microbeams, the deformation is converted into a standard electrical signal output to achieve accurate measurement of the pressure value. It uses a vacuum reference as the reference point of the measurement object, thereby eliminating the influence of ambient pressure on the output signal. Among them, the absolute pressure sensor includes a first piezoresistor, a second piezoresistor, a third piezoresistor and a fourth piezoresistor, wherein the first piezoresistor, the second piezoresistor, the third piezoresistor and the fourth piezoresistor are all located inside the absolute pressure sensor and form a Wheatstone full-bridge structure. The four bridge arms of the structure are all connected to the measured object to form a differential full-bridge working mode, which has high measurement accuracy and sensitivity. In other embodiments, the first piezoresistor and the second piezoresistor are located inside the absolute pressure sensor and form a Wheatstone half-bridge structure. The third piezoresistor and the fourth piezoresistor are located on the intermediate carrier 300 or on the PCB substrate 200 to form another Wheatstone half-bridge structure, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the sensor and thus reducing the packaging volume of the probe.

[0064] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the temperature sensor 500 is a chip type thin film resistor, which includes a substrate 510 and a thermosensitive film 520. The thermosensitive film 520 is provided on two opposite surfaces of the substrate 510. Preferably, platinum films are printed on both sides of the ceramic substrate 510, and solder is symmetrically arranged at both ends to meet the requirements of chip packaging. The temperature sensor 500 can be soldered to the pad of the intermediate carrier 300 by SMT chip process (i.e., surface mount technology chip process, Surface Mount Technology).

[0065] In some embodiments, the miniature probe further includes a conditioning chip 600, which is disposed on the intermediate carrier 300 and is respectively connected to the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor 500 through the printed circuit 340 of the intermediate carrier 300, so as to compensate and process the sensor signals, thereby further improving the performance of the sensor. The conditioning chip 600 can receive weak sensitive signals, perform amplification, zero point calibration, linear compensation, and temperature drift compensation, thereby outputting a purer digital signal with better linearity, which is then transmitted to an external controller through the internal circuit of the intermediate carrier 300, the circuit on the PCB substrate 200, or the wire, thereby achieving miniaturization while ensuring the quality of signal transmission.

[0066] In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity is filled with a first sealant 700 and a second sealant 710. The second sealant 710 covers at least a portion of the intermediate carrier 300 and the PCB substrate 200 to limit the movement of the intermediate carrier 300 and the PCB substrate 200 in the accommodating cavity. The first sealant 700 covers the first sensor 400. In the embodiment of the present application, the temperature sensor 500 and the pressure sensor are both covered by the first sealant 700. Figure 1 As shown, the first sealant 700 separates the second sealant 710 from the opening 110, thereby preventing external liquid from contacting the second sealant 710. It is understandable that the first sealant 700 is preferably a material with good biocompatibility, good insulation, good water vapor permeability, and no large stress, such as two-component epoxy glue, silicone resin, greenhouse vulcanized silicone rubber, etc. The second sealant 710 has high tensile strength while meeting biocompatibility, and is preferably medical-grade UV glue, epoxy resin glue, etc.

[0067] The second aspect of the present application also proposes a monitoring device, which includes the miniature probe mentioned in the above embodiment. Since the monitoring device adopts the technical solution in the above embodiment, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solution in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0068] In addition, the microprobes in the prior art will be accompanied by radio frequency heating, displacement force, torque force, and artifacts during MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) detection, which poses a great safety hazard to patients and affects the judgment of doctors. Since the materials used to make the microprobes in the first aspect of the present application are all made of magnetic materials that do not contain iron or nickel, they can meet the safety requirements for use under 1.5T and 3.0T field strengths, will not generate excessive heat due to electromagnetic induction, and will not be displaced or damaged, thereby avoiding safety accidents caused by damage to the microprobe when patients undergo MRI detection, and will not affect the quality of MRI imaging.

[0069] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
