Description

Technical Field

[0002] A MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) micromirror refers to an optical MEMS device manufactured using optical MEMS technology. It integrates a micro-light reflector with a MEMS driver to achieve mirror deflection, and functions such as pointing deflection and image scanning. However, the existing traditional MEMS micromirror relies on the deformation or torsion of an elastic beam to drive the mirror to deflect. This method has a limited rotation angle, and the available angle is too small to achieve 360° rotation. The torsion consumes more current and has higher mechanical losses, making it inconvenient to use. Moreover, whether it is electrostatic drive or piezoelectric drive, it is necessary to process the drive circuit on the chip and etch the leads to provide current, which increases the difficulty and cost of micromirror manufacturing. Moreover, there are some situations in the real environment that are not suitable for circuit operation (such as high temperature environment, etc.), which limits the application of micromirrors.

[0042] Figures 1 to 7 An embodiment of a gas-driven MEMS micromirror of the present application is schematically shown.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present application discloses a gas-driven MEMS micromirror, which includes: an upper silicon wafer 1, a micromirror silicon wafer 2 and a lower silicon wafer 3. The micromirror silicon wafer 2 includes: a rotating shaft 22 and a rotating lens 21, the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating lens 21 are arranged perpendicular to the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 3, the rotating shaft 22 passes through the rotating lens 21, and a gap is provided between the two. The upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 3 are bonded to the upper and lower sides of the micromirror silicon wafer 2, respectively, and are anchored to the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 22. The upper silicon wafer 1, the lower silicon wafer 3 and the micromirror silicon wafer 2 are bonded to form a rotating cavity with an opening at one end, and the rotating lens 21 is located on the opening side of the rotating cavity. A wind pressure mechanism is arranged in the rotating cavity, and the wind pressure mechanism can blow out a driving airflow to make the rotating lens 21 rotate around the rotating shaft 22.

[0044] Through the above structural design, the gas-driven MEMS micromirror of the present application includes a micromirror silicon wafer 2, an upper silicon wafer 1 and a lower silicon wafer 3, the micromirror silicon wafer 2 includes a rotating shaft 22 and a rotating lens 21, the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating lens 21 are arranged perpendicular to the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 3, the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 3 are bonded to the micromirror silicon wafer 2, and are anchored to the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 22. The bonding body forms a rotating cavity, and a wind pressure mechanism is arranged in the cavity, which can blow out airflow to drive the rotating lens 21 to rotate around the rotating shaft 22. The rotating lens 21 of the present application is not restricted by the torsion beam, and there is no need to achieve mirror rotation through mechanical torsion, so the rotation angle is not limited, and 360° full-circle rotation can be achieved. At the same time, because the present application does not need to overcome the torsion of the torsion beam, the mechanical loss is small, the use is flexible, and the driving requirements are reduced. In addition, the embodiment of the present application can also meet the situation that is not suitable for current operation such as high temperature, and has a wider applicability, especially for scenes with low precision requirements, strong electromagnetic environment and high temperature environment. The structure of the present application is simple and reliable. It relies on an external gas source to drive the mirror to rotate. It is resistant to high temperatures and strong electromagnetics. In addition, since the gas source pressure and flow are easy to control, a larger torsion angle can be achieved, thereby improving the safety and economy of the micromirror.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in the rotating cavity, multiple wind pressure mechanisms are provided, and the multiple wind pressure mechanisms are symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 22. By symmetrically designing the wind pressure mechanisms on both sides of the rotating shaft 22, both sides of the rotating lens 21 can be subjected to wind pressure at the same time, so that the rotating lens 21 is positioned at a certain angle through the balance of wind force on both sides, and the mirror surface is driven to rotate in a directional and quantitative manner.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the wind pressure mechanism of the embodiment shown in the drawings of the present application is a vent 23, and the vent 23 is divided into two groups. The two groups of vents 23 are symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 22. The vent 23 is connected to an air source mechanism, and blowing can be achieved through the external air source mechanism to drive the rotating lens 21 to rotate at a full angle. The gas used is a clean inert gas, such as nitrogen that has been dried and filtered to remove impurities. In the embodiment of the present application, the vent 23 is set to two, and each of the two vents 23 is a group. In some other embodiments of the present application, more even numbers of vents 23 can also be set, and the vents 23 can be divided into two groups, which are symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 22.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, a ventilation gap 24 is left between the rotating lens 21 and the open side wall of the rotating cavity, and the ventilation gap 24 is also symmetrically arranged about the rotating shaft 22. By setting the ventilation gap 24, it is beneficial to quickly discharge the gas blown in by the wind pressure mechanism out of the rotating cavity, so as to avoid air blockage and high pressure, and avoid the rigid and inflexible movement of the rotating lens 21. Among them, the size of the ventilation gap 24 is determined according to the maximum blowing volume of the wind pressure mechanism, and is set differently for different mirror sizes and different working conditions.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the upper silicon wafer 1, the micromirror silicon wafer 2 and the lower silicon wafer 3 are all double-sided polished silicon wafers (i.e., DSP silicon wafers). Double-sided polished silicon wafers are commonly used in semiconductors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and other applications that require strict control of wafer flatness characteristics, and can well meet the needs of silicon wafer processing.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the rotating cavity formed by bonding the silicon wafers is a square cavity, and the upper silicon wafer 1, the micromirror silicon wafer 2 and the lower silicon wafer 3 are all provided with rectangular opening grooves, and the rectangular opening grooves of each silicon wafer are aligned and bonded to form the square cavity. Figures 1 to 6 As shown, except for the opening side and the ventilation holes, the other positions of the square cavity are all sealed structures to prevent the external environmental airflow from affecting the wind pressure driving work of the MEMS micromirror.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 3 are further provided with symmetrical balancing electrodes, which are used to balance the rotating mirror 21 so that the rotating mirror 21 and the rotating shaft 22 remain aligned and do not collide with each other. The balancing electrode does not need to drive the rotating mirror 21 to rotate, but only needs to detect and maintain the strict alignment of the rotating mirror 21 and the rotating shaft 22. The current required is much smaller than the driving current for driving the mirror to rotate, but it can maintain the rotating mirror 21 and the rotating shaft 22 aligned and non-contacting, thereby avoiding mechanical friction, reducing the mechanical loss of the rotating mirror 21, and significantly extending the service life of the micromirror.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the balancing electrode is in a continuous ring shape, arranged outside the anchor point of the rotating shaft 22, and arranged concentrically with the rotating shaft 22. By arranging the balancing electrodes uniformly around the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating lens 21, the real-time centering balance of the rotating lens 21 and the rotating shaft 22 can be achieved, thereby avoiding collision, making the lens rotation more stable and accurate, and reducing mechanical loss.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the rotating mirror 21 is a double-sided reflector, both sides of which are side reflection surfaces 211, which can reflect light on both sides, so as to facilitate full-circle rotation without dead angles. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the micromirror silicon wafer 2 can be formed by bonding multiple silicon wafers, thereby obtaining a rotating shaft 22 and a rotating mirror 21 of any desired length.

[0053] According to another aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a gas-driven MEMS micromirror is also disclosed, such as Figure 7 As shown, the method includes:

[0054] Step S710, prepare multiple double-sided polished silicon wafers, etch ventilation holes 23 on the double-sided polished silicon wafers, and then bond the multiple double-sided polished silicon wafers to form a micromirror silicon wafer 2. The number of bonded silicon wafers is determined according to needs. The ventilation holes 23 can be realized by etching ventilation grooves on adjacent double-sided polished silicon wafers and then bonding them together, such as Figure 8a shown.

[0055] Step S720, etching the micromirror silicon wafer 2 to form a double-sided reflector structure. To facilitate subsequent bonding, the double-sided reflector structure has not yet formed a rotating shaft 22 and a rotating mirror 21 that are separated from each other.

[0056] Step S730 , preparing a first silicon wafer, etching an anchor point region on the first silicon wafer to form an upper silicon wafer 1 .

[0057] Step S740 , preparing a second silicon wafer, etching an anchor point region on the second silicon wafer to form a lower silicon wafer 3 .

[0058] Step S750, the upper silicon wafer 1 is bonded to the micromirror silicon wafer 2, and after bonding, a double-sided reflector structure is etched to form a rotating shaft 22 vertically anchored to the upper silicon wafer 1, and a rotating mirror 21 sleeved on the rotating shaft 22. A gap is provided between the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating mirror 21, and at this time, a constraint is left between the rotating mirror 21 and the rotating shaft 22 and is not completely released.

[0059] Step S760, bonding the lower silicon wafer 3 to the micromirror silicon wafer 2, and etching away the constraints between the rotating mirror 21 and the rotating shaft 22, and completely releasing the rotating mirror 21 to form a movable MEMS micromirror.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, in step S710, the double-sided reflector structure is located in the middle of the micromirror silicon wafer 2. In steps S730 and S740, the anchor point areas of the upper silicon wafer 1 and the lower silicon wafer 3 are located in the central position. The method also includes: step S770, laser scribing the bonded body of the upper silicon wafer 1, the micromirror silicon wafer 2 and the lower silicon wafer 3 to expose the rotating lens 21. The present application first adopts a closed bonding structure in the bonding manufacturing process, and then cuts to expose the mirror surface, which is conducive to facilitating the bonding operation, can improve the accuracy and precision of the bonding, improve the product yield, and avoid waste of silicon wafers.

At this time, the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating mirror 21 are not completely released, and the silicon wafer is constrained.
