Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of suspended membrane structure technology, specifically a method for manufacturing a through-type double-sided V-groove. Background Technology
[0002] Single-sided V-grooves are based on the anisotropy of crystal structures. A silicon substrate with a crystal orientation of 100° conforms to the crystal structure, forming a fixed 57.74° V-groove. Through-type double-sided V-grooves are based on the fabrication of single-sided V-grooves. A specific film layer is then applied to the bottom of the structure as a support layer. Alignment photolithography is then performed on the other side, and finally, an etching process is used to etch down to the support layer, controlling the crystal orientation morphology to form a beam-and-gap-wide hollow structure.
[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology: Currently, single-sided V-grooves can only be used for deep etching. Due to the influence of crystal orientation, a through-type V-groove structure cannot be formed. In addition, unreasonable design of the support layer film, such as failure to consider stress balance, can lead to support film rupture and abnormal V-groove etching angle, thereby affecting the structure and reliability of the device, resulting in a yield of less than 60%. At the same time, traditional film layers mostly use single deposition technology, which makes it difficult to simultaneously achieve the functions of density, stress regulation and mechanical protection.
