Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of magnetoelectric antennas, and particularly to a MEMS magnetoelectric antenna based on an on-chip bias magnetic field, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Magnetoelectric antennas achieve the mutual conversion between magnetic fields and electric fields through the magnetoelectric coupling effect, can break through the constraints of antenna size and electromagnetic wavelength, and have become a current research hotspot due to their unique working principle and excellent performance. Especially in the field of low-frequency communication, compared with traditional antennas, the size of magnetoelectric antennas can be reduced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude.

[0003] The sensitive structure of a MEMS magnetoelectric antenna is composed of a piezoelectric thin film and a magnetostrictive thin film. When it senses an external alternating magnetic field, an induced voltage is output due to the magnetoelectric coupling effect. However, there is a non-linear relationship between the output strain, output displacement of the magnetostrictive thin film and the externally applied DC magnetic field. Only by providing an appropriate bias magnetic field for the prepared magnetoelectric coupling thin film can the antenna achieve the best working performance, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and cost of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple and feasible bias magnetic field device that can be integrated into the MEMS chip to make full use of the miniaturization advantage of MEMS technology and improve the performance of MEMS magnetoelectric antennas. This technology is particularly suitable for the biomedical field and provides an ideal solution for the interconnection and communication between implantable devices and the outside world.

[0004] The bias magnetic field of a MEMS magnetoelectric antenna can be provided by a permanent magnet or a micro-nano coil. However, the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet material is difficult to accurately control, and it cannot ensure that the antenna is always in the best bias state. By using the method of integrating a MEMS micro-nano coil on-chip, the internal magnetic field strength can be flexibly adjusted by precisely controlling the current. This method can meet the working requirements of MEMS magnetoelectric antennas under different optimal bias magnetic fields without changing the structure or the preparation process flow of the MEMS micro-nano coil.

[0005] In a MEMS magnetoelectric antenna, the magnetostrictive material adopts a polarization mode in the length direction (L direction) to improve the output response of the sensitive structure. Therefore, the required bias magnetic field must be parallel to the substrate plane. There are two types of MEMS micro-nano coils: planar coils and solenoid coils. The on-chip planar coil not only occupies a large area and has a low inductance density, but also can only provide a bias magnetic field in the thickness direction (T direction) for the magnetostrictive thin film, and cannot meet the working requirements of the MEMS magnetoelectric antenna. By using a MEMS solenoid coil whose axis is consistent with the L polarization direction of the magnetostrictive material of the magnetoelectric antenna, the required bias magnetic field can be provided for the MEMS magnetoelectric antenna.

[0006] A low-field nuclear magnetic resonance probe based on a printed circuit board solenoid coil is proposed in the invention patent with the publication number of CN103674997B. Using a PCB substrate as the base plate, a first pad, a second pad, a group of first leads arranged side by side, and a group of second leads arranged side by side are provided on the upper surface of the PCB substrate. A group of third leads arranged side by side, a fourth lead, and a fifth lead are provided on the lower surface of the PCB substrate. It has the advantages of simple production, low cost, short cycle, and batchability. However, the line width of this printed circuit board is restricted by the process, and compared with the sensitive structure size of the MEMS magnetoelectric antenna in the micron order, it is larger and cannot meet the requirements of antenna miniaturization. In the invention patent application document with the publication number of CN104076057A, a probe based on the integration of a gallium solenoid microcoil and a glass microfluidic channel and its preparation method are proposed. The temperature parameter of the bonding process in this preparation method is 500 - 600 degrees Celsius, which exceeds the Curie temperature of the magnetoelectric composite material and will cause material modification. And the metal winding is cast with gallium, and the melting point of gallium is too low, which will limit the reliability and application scenarios of the MEMS magnetoelectric antenna.

And the two rows of the first through-hole cavity arrays 21 correspond to the ends of the bottom electrode cavities 11 (except for the extended ends of the two outermost bottom electrode cavities 11), that is, the front and rear rows of the first through-hole cavity arrays 21 are staggered in the front and rear directions. An antenna lower cavity 22 is formed at the center of the top of the antenna substrate 2, and an antenna sensitive structure 5 is provided on the top of the antenna lower cavity 22.

When the output signal is the strongest, the intensity of the DC magnetic field applied at this time is the corresponding optimal bias magnetic field. B ;
