Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of integrated circuit manufacturing, and in particular to a method for manufacturing an AMR sensor. Background Art
[0002] Photolithography is a process technology that uses optical-chemical reaction principles and chemical and physical etching methods in integrated circuit manufacturing to transfer circuit patterns to the surface of a single crystal or a dielectric layer to form an effective graphic window or functional pattern. With the development of semiconductor technology, the size limit of patterns transferred by photolithography has been reduced by 2-3 orders of magnitude (from millimeter level to submicron level). It has developed from conventional optical technology to new technologies such as electron beam, X-ray, micro-ion beam, laser, etc.; the wavelength used has been expanded from 4000 angstroms to 0.1 angstroms. Photolithography has become a precise micro-machining technology.
[0003] In traditional processes, the production of AMR sensors requires photolithography to form predefined patterns. However, due to the low development accuracy in traditional near-ultraviolet photolithography technology, there is usually some photoresist residue after development, which affects the performance of the device. Current technology usually requires a combination of photolithography and etching to solve this problem.

[0245] 1. PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) photoresist used in photolithography. Fully mix PMMA powder with anisole to prepare PMMA photoresist with a mass fraction of 5%. Plasma treatment is performed before coating, and impurities or pollutants on the surface of the substrate are removed by inert gas (argon) discharge plasma. Then, spin coating is performed, first at a low speed of 500 rad / min for 2 seconds, and then automatically changed to 5000 rad / min for 50 seconds. Import the drawings designed in QCAD (open source graphic design software) into the control computer, and automatically generate the operating file of the photolithography machine after setting the parameters, and set the exposure dose to 180C / cm 2 , beam current is 3.2nA, magnification is 300 times. There are two photolithography processes, the parameters of the second photolithography are the same as the first, so I will not repeat them.
[0246] Figure 2 This is the design drawing of the first photolithography. The long strips (sharp angle, 60°) are magnetic resistance strips. There are four groups of them, symmetrically centered. The outermost strips of each group of magnetic resistance strips are shielding strips to reduce the magnetic field noise in the space. The cross in the middle is used to align the two photolithography. The large cross corrects the position, and the small cross corrects the direction.
[0247] Development. The developer is made of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) and isopropyl alcohol in a ratio of 1:3. Development is divided into two steps. First, place the exposed silicon wafer in the developer at room temperature for 30 seconds. Gently shake it to promote the dissolution of the photoresist. Then soak the silicon wafer in isopropyl alcohol for 30 seconds, wash off the developer, and finally use a nitrogen gun to blow dry.
[0248] After the above steps, the first step of photolithography has been completed, and you can observe under an optical microscope whether the pattern meets expectations and whether there is any residual glue.
[0249] 2. The three-layer film structure of the AMR sensor sensing layer in this design is Ta / Ni from bottom to top. 80 Fe 20 / Ta, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom Ta layer is the seed layer for Ni 80 Fe 20 The top Ta layer acts as a protective layer to prevent Ni 80 Fe 20 of oxidation.
[0250] The thickness of the three layers in this experiment are: Ta 5nm, Permalloy 11nm, Ta 5nm; the main steps of magnetron sputtering are: first, evacuate the equipment to 9e with a mechanical pump -1Pa and then open the molecular pump valve (the molecular pump must be accelerated to 24000r / min first), and evacuate to 1e -5 Pa; then introduce argon and control the flow rate to 30sccm; turn on the Ta target RF power supply, DC 89mA, voltage 284V, pre-sputtering for 3mins; then open the sample baffle, and the sputtering time is 59s.
[0251] Turn off the RF power supply and sample baffle of the Ta target, and turn on the RF power supply of the Permalloy target, DC 76mA, voltage 399V; open the sample baffle after pre-sputtering for 3mins, and the sputtering time is 177s; the operation of the last layer of Ta is the same as above.
[0252] During the magnetron sputtering process, excess metal will be plated on the PMMA surface. At this time, a solvent is used to dissolve the PMMA, and the metal film on the surface will fall off. The solvent used for degumming is acetone. The method is as follows: Place the silicon wafer in a container filled with acetone, and use a dropper to continuously "blow" on the edge of the silicon wafer (blow once every 30 minutes). After 4 hours, all the excess metal can be washed off and placed under a microscope for inspection. If there are any parts that have not been washed off, use ultrasonic cleaning as appropriate. The magnetoresistive layer after degumming is as follows Figure 4 shown.
[0253] 3. Annealing treatment: put the sample with magnetoresistance layer into a small crucible, and then put the crucible horizontally into a glass tube with cotton balls plugged at both ends. After evacuating, seal the tube with a glass column, and then put the glass tube into a constant temperature furnace. Set the heating rate to 2℃ / min, the insulation temperature to 350℃, and the insulation time to 3.5h.
[0254] 4 The photolithography steps of the second photolithography electrode layer are basically the same as the first one, but the photolithography of the second layer strictly requires alignment with the pattern of the first layer. In order to achieve this goal, this paper adopts the following method:
[0255] When designing the first layer, mark points are left in the center as shown in the figure below. By adjusting the position and direction of the large cross, the graphics can be accurately aligned.
[0256] Figure 5 For design drawings, the small crosses on both sides are used to mark the direction. Figure 6 This is the center alignment cross under 10,000 times magnification of the electron microscope. By adjusting the position and direction so that it coincides with the center mark of the field of view, the two layers of patterns can be accurately aligned, such as Figure 7 shown.
[0257] 5. Thermal evaporation coating of the AMR electrode layer: silver target and chromium target are placed in the evaporation boat, and then the silicon wafer is placed with the front side facing down and the back side adhered to the tray, and placed above the internal cavity of the equipment; vacuum is drawn. First, the mechanical pump is turned on to pump the air pressure in the cabin to 1e-1 Pa, then turn on the molecular pump power supply, open the molecular pump valve when the molecular pump speed reaches 24000r / min, until the vacuum degree of the equipment reaches 5×10-6Torr, start operation, chromium as the seed layer, evaporate 5nm, open the target baffle, turn on the chromium source power supply, set the current to 160A, open the sample baffle when the panel shows deposition, click the sample rotation button and return the thickness to zero, the instrument automatically monitors the thickness, close the sample baffle to stop the sample rotation when the thickness is displayed as 5nm, turn off the chromium source, and close the chromium source baffle. Silver plating 40nm, open the target baffle, turn on the silver source power supply, set the current to 60A, open the sample baffle when the panel shows deposition, click the sample rotation button and return the thickness to zero, the instrument automatically monitors the thickness, close the sample baffle to stop the sample rotation when the thickness is displayed as 40nm, turn off the silver source, and close the silver source baffle. After completion, remove the silicon wafer and evacuate the air in the device. During the magnetron sputtering process, excess metal will be plated on the PMMA surface. At this time, a solvent is used to dissolve the PMMA, and the metal film on the surface will fall off. The solvent used for degumming is acetone. The method is as follows: introduce a sufficient amount of acetone into the container, immerse the silicon wafer completely in it, seal the container mouth with a plastic film to prevent the acetone from volatilizing, and let it stand for a while. When the surface of the metal film peels and becomes uneven, gently shake the container to peel off the metal film. When the metal is difficult to peel off, consider using ultrasonic equipment to complete the peeling. The result after degumming is completed is as follows Figure 8 As shown:
[0258] 6. Indium wire pressure welding and packaging. The packaged device consists of a housing, a PCB sample holder, and an indium connecting wire. The PCB sample holder is designed to be a pluggable structure consisting of a male holder and a female holder (the male holder is welded with pins, the female holder is welded with a jack, and the jack is connected to the external circuit). The indium connecting wire can connect the sample with AMR to the pad of the PCB sample holder, and then connect to the pin. Fig. 9 They are: a) male PCB sample holder; b) female PCB sample holder; c) AMR sensor after pressure welding; d) AMR sensor mounted on a grounded base.
[0259] The PCB board drawn in Altium Designer is as follows Fig.10 As shown in the figure, the PCB sample tray is manufactured by Shenzhen Jiali Chuang, and the pins are soldered on the manufactured PCB.
[0260] Indium pressure connection: The manufactured chip is glued to the reserved position in the PCB board. At this time, indium wire is needed to be pressed to connect the external electrode in the sample with AMR to the pad of the PCB sample holder.
[0261] The indium pressing process is as follows:
[0262] 1) Melt a small amount of indium block and tin bar with a welding gun and mix them together, then use the welding gun to apply the molten alloy to the electrodes around the chip;
[0263] 2) Take a small amount of indium block and melt it with a welding torch and keep it melted. Use a section of enameled wire to extend into the liquid indium and slowly pull out an indium wire with a thin head and thick body and a suitable length.
[0264] 3) Press the two ends of the indium wire onto the lead-out electrode of the chip and the pad of the PCB respectively under a microscope;
[0265] Assembly: The male tray is packaged in a glove box filled with argon to prevent the components in the air from oxidizing the resistance part of the magnetic sensing element and affecting the performance of the magnetic sensing element. The package shell is divided into two parts: the fence and the cover. The fence is made by 3D printing, and the cover is a quartz plate. Figure 11-12 shown.
[0266] The output mode of the AMR sensor: The sensor uses two sets of Wheatstone bridges to output electrical signals, which can represent the magnitude components of the magnetic field in two orthogonal directions in a plane. Fig.13 As shown:
[0267] Where V DD is the power supply voltage, GND is the ground, is a set of differential voltages.
[0268] The equivalent circuit diagram is as follows Fig.14 As shown, the external magnetic field is perpendicular to the four magnetic resistance strips and is upward. R1 = R4 = R + ΔR, R2 = R3 = R - ΔR.
[0269] Output:
[0270] This design relatively simplifies the traditional AMR sensor manufacturing process, and because electron beam lithography has higher precision, this design also relatively reduces the size of the AMR sensor, with the widest part being only 1 mm.
[0271] The output performance of the AMR sensor designed in this paper is as follows Fig.15 As shown:
[0272] Its sensitivity is 0.109mV / V / Oe and its maximum accuracy is 0.033Oe.
