Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sensor technology, and more specifically, to a MEMS differential capacitive z-axis accelerometer without cross-axis interference and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers, as inertial sensors manufactured based on semiconductor micromachining technology, have become core devices in consumer electronics, automotive industry, Internet of Things, aerospace and other fields for measuring physical parameters such as acceleration, tilt angle and vibration due to their significant advantages such as small size, low cost, high reliability and suitability for mass production.
[0003] With the rapid development of drones, autonomous driving technology, and various portable smart devices, higher demands are being placed on the performance of micro inertial measurement units (IMUs). Among these, triaxial MEMS accelerometers capable of achieving three-dimensional inertial sensing are a key research focus. Z-axis accelerometers, which are used to sense acceleration perpendicular to the chip plane, have become an important research direction in the field of MEMS sensors due to their higher design and manufacturing difficulty and the fact that their performance directly determines the accuracy of three-dimensional measurements.
[0004] Currently, mainstream Z-axis MEMS accelerometers mainly adopt a "sandwich" structure or a torsion pendulum structure based on the principle of variable spacing capacitance detection of parallel plates.
[0005] Torsional pendulum Z-axis accelerometers have attracted attention due to their good compatibility with the manufacturing processes of in-plane accelerometers. However, this torsional pendulum structure based on a single mass block has inherent drawbacks: First, it has poor suppression of common-mode interference caused by environmental factors such as temperature changes; second, in terms of structural design, in order to improve the mechanical sensitivity of Z-axis acceleration detection, it is often necessary to sacrifice the performance in other directions, resulting in a simultaneous increase in its sensitivity to cross-interference in the X and Y axes, which seriously restricts its measurement accuracy in complex motion environments.
[0006] On the other hand, although the "sandwich" structure based on the principle of variable-gap capacitors of parallel plates can theoretically achieve higher displacement sensitivity, it still faces many challenges in practical applications: The problem of cross-axis interference is prominent: when the sensor is subjected to in-plane (X / Y axis) acceleration, the movable mass block will undergo in-plane displacement, which will change the effective facing area between it and the upper and lower fixed plates, thereby generating parasitic capacitance signals, which seriously interfere with the measurement accuracy of Z-axis acceleration.
[0007] Edge electric field effect introduces nonlinearity: The edge electric field of a parallel plate capacitor introduces significant nonlinear error, which limits the dynamic range and measurement linearity of the sensor.
[0008] Insufficient anti-interference capability: Traditional single-ended capacitor detection structures have limited ability to suppress common-mode interference (such as temperature drift and environmental noise), which affects the long-term stability and temperature stability of the sensor.
[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a Z-axis MEMS accelerometer solution that can fundamentally suppress cross-axis interference while possessing high sensitivity, high linearity, and excellent common-mode interference immunity. Summary of the Invention
[0010] This invention solves the key technical problem of low measurement accuracy and poor environmental adaptability of traditional Z-axis accelerometers by combining a unique "constant effective area" differential capacitor design with a vertical stacking bonding process.
[0011] This invention provides a MEMS differential capacitance z-axis accelerometer without cross-axis interference, comprising: The first silicon wafer has a first fixed electrode on its upper surface and a first cavity formed on its back side. The second silicon wafer is bonded to the first silicon wafer through a bonding layer; the interior of the second silicon wafer is provided with a movable mass block, a fixed frame surrounding the movable mass block, and an elastic beam connecting the movable mass block and the fixed frame; the movable mass block is capable of moving in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the second silicon wafer; the second silicon wafer is also provided with a second cavity for the movement of the movable mass block. The upper surface of the movable mass block is provided with a movable electrode, and the lower surface of the second silicon wafer is provided with a second fixed electrode. The first fixed electrode and the movable electrode are directly opposite each other, forming the first variable capacitor; The second fixed electrode and the movable electrode are directly opposite each other, forming a second variable capacitor; The first variable capacitor and the second variable capacitor form a differential capacitor pair.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the areas of both the first fixed electrode and the second fixed electrode are larger than the area of the movable electrode.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the bonding layer is a metal bonding layer, which includes a first metal layer formed on the lower surface of the first silicon wafer, a second metal layer formed on the upper surface of the second silicon wafer, and an intermetallic compound layer formed by solid-state diffusion of the first metal layer and the second metal layer.
[0014] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for fabricating a MEMS differential capacitance z-axis accelerometer, the method specifically comprising the following steps: S1. First silicon wafer fabrication step: A first silicon wafer is provided, a first fixed electrode is formed on its upper surface, and a first cavity is formed on its back side by micro-machining process; S2, Second silicon wafer fabrication steps: A second silicon wafer is provided, and a movable mass block, an elastic beam, and a second cavity are formed inside it through microfabrication technology; a movable electrode is formed on the upper surface of the movable mass block, and a second fixed electrode is formed on the lower surface of the second silicon wafer; S3. Bonding step: The back surface of the first silicon wafer is bonded to the upper surface of the second silicon wafer through a bonding layer.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the first silicon wafer fabrication step includes: S11. A first silicon wafer is provided, and a silicon oxide layer is prepared on both the upper and lower surfaces using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. S12. On the front side of the first silicon wafer, metal is deposited and patterned by magnetron sputtering to form the first fixed electrode, lead wire and pad. S13. A silicon nitride layer is deposited on the front side of the first silicon wafer for insulation protection, and a reactive ion etching process is used to expose the pads of the first fixed electrode. S14. The back side is deposited and patterned with metal by magnetron sputtering to form a first metal layer for bonding; S15. The silicon oxide layer at the groove is removed on the back side using reactive ion etching. S16 forms the first cavity on the back side of the first silicon wafer using a deep reactive ion etching process.
[0016] In one possible implementation, the second silicon wafer fabrication step includes: S21. A second silicon wafer is provided, and a silicon oxide layer is prepared on both the upper and lower surfaces using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. S22. On the front side of the second silicon wafer, the outlines of the elastic beam and the movable mass block and the initial trench are patterned and etched by reactive ion etching and deep reactive ion etching processes. S23. A silicon oxide thin film is deposited on the upper and lower surfaces of the second silicon wafer by a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition process; S24. The silicon oxide at the bottom of the initial trench is removed by reactive ion etching, and then the initial trench is further etched by deep reactive ion etching. S25. A gold layer is deposited and patterned on the front side of the second silicon wafer using a magnetron sputtering process to form movable electrodes, leads, pads, and a second metal layer; simultaneously, a gold layer is deposited and patterned on the back side of the second silicon wafer using a magnetron sputtering process to form a second fixed electrode, leads, and pads. S26. A silicon nitride layer is deposited on the back side of the second silicon wafer for insulating protection; S27. Perform anisotropic wet etching on the front side of the second silicon wafer, and lateral etching to form the second cavity, thereby releasing the movable mass block.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the anisotropic wet etching process used to form the second cavity employs TMAH etching solution.
[0018] In one possible implementation, the bonding step is specifically a gold-gold hot-press bonding process, wherein the bonding layer is formed by hot-press bonding a first metal layer formed on the back of the first silicon wafer and a second metal layer formed on the upper surface of the second silicon wafer to form a solid diffusion interface.
[0019] In one possible implementation, a via fabrication step is included after the bonding step: On the top layer of the bonded device, through-holes are formed by etching to expose the pads of the movable electrode; The pads of the second fixed electrode are exposed on the lower layer of the bonded device.
[0020] In one possible implementation, both the first silicon wafer and the second silicon wafer are (111) oriented silicon wafers.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) By using the “constant effective area” design, the cross-axis interference is suppressed from the structural source. The innovative design of the upper plate area is always larger than the middle movable plate in motion, which ensures that the effective facing area of the sensitive capacitor remains constant within the expected range of motion and cross-axis displacement, and achieves better inter-axis isolation than the traditional structure.
[0022] (2) Utilizing the variable-pitch differential detection principle, it combines high sensitivity with superior linearity. The high-sensitivity variable-pitch principle is combined with the differential structure. The differential output not only doubles the effective signal, but more importantly, the inherent nonlinear terms of the two variable-pitch capacitors cancel each other out when the difference is calculated, thereby achieving extremely high overall linearity over a wide range and reducing the dependence on complex linearization correction algorithms.
[0023] (3) A vertically stacked double-layer structure was adopted to achieve full differential detection under the premise of miniaturization. A complete differential sensing unit was constructed in a compact vertical space. This design successfully solved the traditional contradiction between high-precision differential detection and chip miniaturization. Attached Figure Description

[0028] This invention relates to a potentiometric micro / nano sensor based on MEMS silicon-based technology. A micro-truncated array structure is constructed on the surface of its sensing area, physically dividing the sensor's functional area into a detection zone and a self-cleaning zone. The detection zone is used to load specific sensitive materials for target analyte detection, while the self-cleaning zone is loaded with photocatalytic materials (such as TiO2) to achieve photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. This structure cleverly utilizes fluid dynamics principles to achieve an active anti-fouling mechanism of "zonal decontamination and synergistic effect": the upper surface of the truncated pyramids utilizes high shear force to form an "active defense zone," effectively inhibiting pollutant adsorption and ensuring detection accuracy; the lower surface of the truncated pyramids utilizes a low flow rate effect to form an "active purification zone," enriching and photocatalytically removing pollutants, achieving self-regeneration. The reference electrode adopts a multi-layered structure design, slowing down the loss rate of the salt matrix and significantly improving the reference electrode's lifespan. This invention, through a unique surface zoning design combined with micro / nano manufacturing processes and a multi-layered structure design, solves the key technical challenges of traditional potentiometric sensors, such as rapid signal drift and short online in-situ monitoring lifespan due to the susceptibility of the sensitive membrane to contamination and the short lifespan of the reference electrode.
