MEMS gas sensor and preparation method thereof
[0001] The present application claims priority from the Chinese patent application No. 202410852964.2 filed on June 27, 2024, and entitled "MEMS gas sensor and preparation method thereof", the whole content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application belongs to the field of micro-electro-mechanical technology, and particularly relates to a MEMS gas sensor, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0003] Hydrogen sensors are classified into optical sensors, acoustic sensors, thermal conductivity sensors, catalytic sensors, work function sensors, resistance sensors and electrochemical sensors according to the differences in action principles and testing methods. These sensors mainly rely on the changes in refractive index, spectral absorption, temperature, mass structure and electrical properties caused by the interaction between sensitive material elements and hydrogen to produce optical, electrical and other signals through digital-to-analog conversion. Among them, optical sensors have strong specificity and fast signal transmission, but are limited by equipment volume and investment cost, and have great one-sidedness in terms of control density and monitoring spatio-temporal refinement; acoustic, thermal conductivity and work function types are small in size and low in power consumption, but have poor long-term stability, target selectivity and hysteresis; catalytic, electrochemical and resistance hydrogen sensors generally have relatively high sensitivity and sampling frequency, simple element structure, and convenient and fast signal processing, but are limited by power supply pipeline burying specifications and cannot realize flexible expansion of monitoring points and inspection routes; and in complex environments or when dealing with multi-component mixed target gas, the performance of detection range, response rate, anti-interference and environmental adaptability is often unsatisfactory.
[0004] At present, MEMS semiconductor gas sensors can effectively make up for the defects of traditional detection methods such as monopoly, high consumption and low efficiency due to low power consumption, strong selectivity, easy expansion, high integration and large dynamic measurement range. However, there is no mature hydrogen sensor on the market at present, the main reason is that the MEMS gas sensor at this stage cannot balance the contradiction between detection sensitivity and detection concentration range, that is, it realizes the detection sensitivity of low concentration hydrogen, but cannot realize the tolerance stability of high concentration hydrogen, or it realizes the tolerance stability of high concentration hydrogen, but cannot realize the detection sensitivity of low concentration hydrogen, in addition, it also cannot balance the contradiction between anti-interference and response speed, that is, it realizes the anti-interference in complex environment or multi-component mixed gas atmosphere, but cannot realize the faster response speed, or it realizes the faster response speed, but cannot realize the anti-interference in complex environment or multi-component mixed gas atmosphere. Therefore, how to provide a MEMS gas sensor with excellent low concentration gas monitoring sensitivity, high concentration gas tolerance stability, anti-interference and response speed is a technical problem to be solved in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0049] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0050] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, in a first aspect of the present application, a MEMS gas sensor is provided, comprising an insulating substrate 1, a heating electrode 403, an insulating layer 105 and a test unit which are stacked; the test unit comprises a test electrode, a sensitive unit 2 and a selective separation film 3; the test electrode and the sensitive unit 2 are respectively arranged on the surface of the insulating layer 105 away from the heating electrode 403; the sensitive unit 2 has a nanowire array structure formed by a plurality of spaced nanowires, and any two adjacent nanowires form a recess 5 with the insulating layer 105; the selective separation film 3 covers the surface of the sensitive unit 2 and the recess 5; wherein the nanowires contain a first metal and a second metal, the first metal is Pd, and the second metal is selected from at least one of Ni, Cu, Ag, Au and Ir; the selective separation film 3 comprises an inner layer separation film 301 and an outer layer separation film 302 which are stacked in sequence, wherein the outer layer separation film 302 is located on the side of the inner layer separation film 301 away from the insulating substrate 1; the inner layer separation film 301 contains polytetrafluoroethylene; and the outer layer separation film 302 is a mixed matrix membrane with covalent organic framework material as filler and self-porous polymer as matrix.
[0051] In the present application, the material of the nanowire is a binary palladium alloy, which has excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability and resistance to poisoning, such as PdNi, PdCu, PdAg, PdAu, PdIr alloy, etc. At low hydrogen partial pressure, Ag, Au and Ir can increase the Pd lattice parameter, reduce the energy required for hydrogen to occupy the vacancy, and promote the dissolution of hydrogen; while at high hydrogen partial pressure, Ag, Au and Ir fill part of the 4d electron state of Pd, leaving vacancies in the outer electron orbit of Pd, and the excess electrons in the outer orbit of Ag, Au and Ir will transfer to the outer orbit of Pd, so that the contribution of the adsorbed H atom to the number of electrons in the outer orbit of Pd will be reduced, and the mutual attraction between Pd and H atom caused by electron interaction will be weakened, resulting in the weakening of the adsorption force and solubility of hydrogen, thereby reducing the solubility of hydrogen. This buffering effect of low concentration expansion and high concentration contraction not only ensures the excellent minimum detection limit of Pd, but also significantly inhibits the phase transition of Pd from α to β, thereby enhancing the stability of the sensitive unit 2. The addition of Ni and Cu reduces the hydrogen atoms that can enter the crystal lattice by reducing the Pd lattice, thereby improving the critical hydrogen concentration of the phase transition from α to β, but also sacrificing the intrinsic sensitivity of Pd to hydrogen. Therefore, the present application preferably uses PdAg, PdAu and PdIr alloy.
[0052] In the nanowire array structure, a plurality of nanowires are arranged at intervals on the surface of the insulating substrate 1, and the nanowires protrude from the insulating substrate 1, i.e. the nanowires form a convex part with a certain height on the surface of the insulating substrate 1, and each two adjacent nanowires form a concave part 5 with the insulating substrate 1. The distance between any two adjacent nanowires is 30-200 nm.
[0053] In the present application, the cross section of each nanowire along the height direction can be isosceles trapezoidal, etc., i.e. the diameter of the nanowire changes in gradient along the height direction, and the maximum diameter is 9-12 μm.
[0054] By designing the special structure and material of the nanowire array structure, the first aspect can improve the adsorption specific surface area, the utilization rate of the sensitive unit 2 and the desorption and diffusion rate of hydrogen in the Pd bulk phase, and enhance the surface reaction kinetics; the second aspect can minimize the low coordination defect sites of the nanowire, promote the path guiding effect, improve the electron transmission efficiency to reduce the blocking phenomenon; the third aspect, in view of the fact that the external induced stress required for phase transition inhibition is mainly concentrated in the area where the nanowire structure contacts the insulating substrate 1, therefore the ultra-thin characteristics of the ultra-fine nanowire can put most of the nanowire bulk phase under the protection of the inhibition stress, because the substrate has a certain stress protection effect on the nanowires arranged on the surface. The stress protection effect generally ranges around 10 nm, therefore, the thinner and thinner the nanowire, the greater the proportion of the stress effect range in the nanowire bulk phase. In addition, the regularity of the nanowire array structure is conducive to the construction of stable and consistent carrier channels, and reduces the difference in transport characteristics of the sensitive layer between different devices.
[0055] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional structure of a MEMS gas sensor in an embodiment of the present application.
[0056] In some embodiments, the mass ratio or molar ratio of the first metal and the second metal is 1:(0.1-0.5)(2-10); and / or, the mass ratio of the covalent organic framework material to the self-microporous polymer is (10-80 mg):1 g.
[0057] In the present application, the selective separation membrane 3 includes an inner layer separation membrane 301 and an outer layer separation membrane 302, the inner layer separation membrane 301 is directly in contact with the sensitive unit 2 and the recess 5, and the outer layer separation membrane 302 is located on the side of the inner layer separation membrane 301 away from the insulating substrate 1, that is, directly in contact with the gas, so as to maximize the performance advantages of the inner layer separation membrane 301 and the outer layer separation membrane 302. Among them, the inner layer separation membrane 301 is in direct contact with the sensitive unit 2, and the material of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is selected, so that the inner layer separation membrane 301 has excellent chemical stability and hydrophobicity, corrosion resistance and aging resistance, and can work for a long time at-180-250℃, and the PTFE film has good permeability to hydrogen, can significantly reduce the surface activation energy barrier of the Pd alloy nanostructure, isolate humidity interference, and improve the gas-electric response rate. In addition, PTFE has excellent wetting and spreading properties after surface plasma treatment, and enhances the bonding force between the selective separation membrane 3 and the sensitive unit 2; and the outer layer separation membrane 302 is in direct contact with the gas, and a mixed matrix membrane system with covalent organic framework (COFs) material as filler and self-microporous polymer (PIMs) as matrix is adopted. COFs is a new type of crystalline adjustable topological network structure porous polymer, which has excellent thermal stability (>300℃) and high compatibility with polymer matrix, and hydrogen selective permeability exceeding 3000 GPU, which is the key core of hydrogen selective separation in the membrane. PIMs has good film-forming property, especially the unique rigid backbone hinders the free internal rotation and effective packing of the molecular structure, which can promote the formation of continuous micropores in the membrane, so that PIMs shows permeability far exceeding traditional high polymer and moderate gas selectivity. Moreover, the partial polar groups (such as cyano group) in PIMs have similar chemical properties to halogen, so they can be converted into various functional groups such as tetrazolyl, carboxyl and amidoxime group through specific reactions, achieving performance controllable improvement and function expansion.
[0058] In the present application, the nanowire array is formed by template guiding and directional self-assembly of block polymers, and then palladium alloy is deposited on the nanowire array to form a nanowire array. The block copolymer is selected from at least one of polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) and polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP).
[0059] For example, a short-chain neutral polystyrene-r-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-r-PMMA) random copolymer (Mn= 17 kg / mol) is used as the base wetting layer, and a polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) with lamellar microphase separation structure is used as an example, in which the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the PS block and the PMMA block is 25 kg / mol and 26 kg / mol, respectively. To achieve precise thickness control, the PS-b-PMMA is mixed with a toluene solution to obtain a slurry with a mass concentration of 2-8% of PS-b-PMMA, which is spin-coated onto the base wetting layer or coated onto the base wetting layer by dip coating. Subsequently, the slurry is vacuum dried at 60 °C for 4 hours to remove residual solvent, and a PS-b-PMMA polymer layer is formed on the surface of the base wetting layer to obtain a primary film. The primary film is subjected to laser annealing treatment, specifically, a high-power solid-state green light (λ = 532 nm) laser is used to irradiate the base wetting layer, and the light beam is focused into an elliptical shape (width 100 μm, length 600 μm) after passing through a lens, and the power density is modulated between 0-10 -4 W / μm 2 Alternatively, a low-duty-cycle pulsed near-infrared focused laser (pulse frequency = 300 kHz, pulse duration = 200 ns) with a wavelength of 1064 nm is used for irradiation annealing. The entire annealing process is carried out at room temperature, and the scanning rate is controlled at 1-5000 μm / s.
[0060] The primary film after laser annealing treatment is subjected to patterned metallization treatment, which can be carried out by dry etching or wet deposition. For example, in the dry etching process, the PS-b-PMMA polymer layer is treated by Ar / O2 reactive ion etching (CO plasma etching can also be used), in which the etching selectivity ratio of PS to PMMA is about 1:2, so that the PMMA is removed first and the remaining PS serves as a nanograting base. Then, a first Cu-based sacrificial shadow pattern (SSP) is formed on the top of the protruding part of the nanograting base by inclined physical vapor deposition (PVD), and a second SSP is formed on the side of the protruding part of the nanograting base by inclined PVD in the opposite direction, with a deposition angle of 60° and -60°. In this way, the sacrificial layer can only be deposited on the convex part and cannot penetrate into the concave part 5. After the formation of the SSPs, palladium alloy is deposited vertically through the gaps between the SSPs and deposited on the bottom of the concave valley of the nanograting pattern. Finally, the SSPs and the metal layer deposited thereon are selectively removed using a dilute Cu etchant (10 vol% ammonium persulfate aqueous solution), and the remaining PS grating is removed by Ar plasma etching, thereby forming a perfectly aligned nanowire array structure.
[0061] The block copolymer can be selectively removed in reactive ion etching (RIE) due to the difference in chemical properties between different homopolymer segments, one phase is reserved and the other phase is removed, and the high-contrast and high-fine structure formed is used as a mask for the next step of metal deposition. In addition to RIE dry etching combined with alternating magnetron sputtering or atomic vapor deposition, wet deposition based on metal salt solution immersion method can also be used for high-resolution Pd nano-alloy pattern transfer. For example, in the wet deposition process, a cylindrical phase polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) with a total molecular weight of 116 kg / mol is used, and the volume fraction f P2VP =0.31) of P2VP. After laser local annealing of the primary film formed by PS-b-P2VP, immersion in an acidic solution containing metal salt (such as Na2PdCl4 acid solution), the remaining 1 pair of lone pair electrons on the outermost nitrogen atom in the homopolymer P2VP is easily combined with the free cation through a covalent bond, the pyridine residue in P2VP is protonated, and then forms a complex with the negatively charged metal complex ion, that is, the P2VP block is combined with the ionized Na + The replacement reaction occurs, the PS block is complexed with PdCl4 2- To form an organometallic salt, after a period of immersion, deionized water is used for washing and drying in a N2 gas stream, and the immersion time of the metal precursor is related to the diameter of the nanowire. Too short immersion time will result in discontinuous structure and quality defects. In order to maximize the complexation, the immersion time is usually not less than 60 minutes; then Ar / O2 plasma etching is used to remove the PS block, and metal nanowire arrays with P2VP morphology are obtained; finally, rapid thermal processing (RTP) sintering at 400-600°C for 5 minutes in a 5vol% H2 / Ar reducing atmosphere is performed, and a nanowire array structure is formed. If the immersion metal salt solution is replaced by HAuCl4, CuCl2, NiCl2, Na2PtCl4 or a mixed solution, then metal nanowire arrays of Au, Cu, Ni, Pt and their alloys can be obtained.
[0062] In the present application, COFs can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional materials. The inherent pore size of general COFs is 0.6-3 nm, but under the induction of dislocation shrinkage effect such as mutual entanglement and insertion during film formation, the actual effective pore size will generally be smaller than the inherent value. The stacking layer spacing / gap range of some materials is only 0.3-0.4 nm, which can be used to separate H2 CO2 CO CH4 Gas molecules with similar kinetic diameters. In some embodiments, the hydrogen permeability of the covalent organic framework material is > 4000 GPU and the pore size is 0.5-0.8 nm. By selecting a covalent organic framework material with high hydrogen permeability and a specific intrinsic pore size, the performance of the MEMS gas sensor is improved
[0063] In some embodiments, the covalent organic framework material is selected from at least one of three-dimensional COF-300 and two-dimensional N-COF. The intrinsic pore size of the three-dimensional COF-300 is 0.7-0.8 nm, and the intrinsic pore size of the two-dimensional N-COF is 0.5-0.6 nm.
[0064] wherein the three-dimensional COF-300 is prepared by condensation reaction of tetrakis(4- aminophenyl) methane and terephthalaldehyde; and the two-dimensional N-COF is prepared by condensation reaction of tris(4-aminophenyl)amine and 1,3,5-triformylbenzene.
[0065] Specifically, the COF-300 can be prepared by dehydration condensation reaction between the amino group of tetrakis(4-aminophenyl) methane (TAPM) and the aldehyde group of terephthalaldehyde (TPA). For example, TAPM, TPA and 1,4-dioxane are placed in a glass tube, and acetic acid aqueous solution is added for ultrasonic treatment. The glass tube containing the mixed solution is then subjected to liquid nitrogen freezing treatment, vacuum degassing treatment, and thawing treatment in sequence and repeated three times. The glass tube is then placed in liquid nitrogen for freezing, vacuum degassing, and sealed with a flame gun under static vacuum. After sealing, the glass tube is placed in warm water for thawing. The liquid nitrogen freezing treatment, vacuum degassing treatment, and thawing treatment are repeated three times. The glass tube is then incubated at 120°C for 72 hours. After the temperature drops to room temperature, the glass tube is unsealed, and the solid is removed and subjected to Soxhlet extraction with tetrahydrofuran for 50 hours. After vacuum drying at room temperature, COF-300 is obtained. The preparation process of N-COF includes the following steps: tris(4-aminophenyl)amine, 1,3,5-triformylbenzene, tetrahydrofuran, and toluene are uniformly mixed by ultrasonic treatment, and acetic acid solution is added. Subsequently, the glass tube containing the mixed solution is quickly frozen in a liquid nitrogen bath, vacuumized and sealed. After warming to room temperature in a constant temperature oven, heating is performed to 120°C. The reaction is carried out in a convection oven for 72 hours. The obtained N-COF precipitate is separated by vacuum filtration, and then subjected to solvent replacement treatment with diethyl ether for three days. Finally, the N-COF product is obtained by vacuum activation at 120°C for 8 hours.
[0066] The PIM material can be PIM-1 material which is relatively mature at present, has a pore size distribution of 0.4-0.8 nm, a free volume fraction of about 20%, and high gas permeability (CO2 flux can reach 10,000 Barrer), and excellent solution processing performance. In some embodiments, the self-microporous polymer is prepared by condensation reaction of 5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spiro-bisindane monomer and tetrafluoro-p-phenylenedinitrile monomer. At present, the synthesis method of PIM-1 is low-temperature synthesis method, and equal amounts of 5,5',6,6'-tetrahydroxy-3,3,3',3'-tetramethyl-1,1'-spiro-bisindane (TTSBI) monomer and tetrafluoro-p-phenylenedinitrile (TFTPN) monomer are uniformly dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide, and the reaction is carried out at 50-60°C for 1-3 days. Since the low-temperature synthesis method has the disadvantages of long time consumption and low efficiency, in an embodiment of the present application, a high-temperature synthesis method is used to prepare PIM-1 material. Specifically, anhydrous K2CO3 is used as a reaction catalyst, and TTSBI and TFTPN are subjected to condensation reaction in dimethylacetamide solvent to prepare the required PIM-1 sample. Specifically, a certain amount of TTSBI, TFTPN and K2CO3 are sequentially added to a three-necked flask filled with nitrogen, dimethylacetamide and toluene are further added, and after stirring uniformly, the mixture is moved to an oil bath at 160°C for condensation reflux for 40 minutes. After the reaction is completed, the fluorescent yellow viscous solution is slowly poured into methanol to obtain a fluorescent yellow solid, and the initial product is obtained by suction filtration and drying in a vacuum oven at 100°C. The initial product is dissolved in chloroform, and the polymer particles are precipitated in methanol. After repeated suction filtration-purification for three times, the PIM-1 sample is finally obtained.
[0067] To further enhance the compatibility between the COF and the PIM material and effectively eliminate the interfacial defects generated in the film preparation process, a chemical cross-linking method can be used to prepare a mixed matrix film.

[0073] The heating electrode 403 comprises a titanium metal layer and a platinum metal layer which are sequentially stacked, and the platinum metal layer is located away from the surface of the insulating substrate 1. Specifically, the Ti layer can increase the adhesion of the Pt layer on the surface by using the double-layer metal electrode of the titanium metal (Ti) layer and the platinum metal (Pt) layer.

The power consumption at the same working temperature can be significantly reduced, the effective thermal mass is reduced, and the thermal response speed is improved. At the same time, the single-suspension beam is more convenient for high-density integration, such as parallel comb teeth, symmetric combination, polygonal array, etc.

The system hardware mainly consists of six parts: an in-situ cell, a material substrate, a humidity atmosphere control module, a temperature control module, a signal processing module, and a computer terminal. The in-situ cell is the place where the gas-sensitive reaction occurs and is also the core of the entire platform. It includes an adjustable wavelength flat light source, an air flow channel, a cooling water channel, a signal switching circuit, a heating table, and is connected to a humidity-controllable gas-liquid gas mixing system (concentration control range 1 ppb-50000 ppm), which can simultaneously realize the rapid replacement / balancing of the concentration and humidity of the atmosphere in the chamber and the online detection of gas-sensitive, humidity-sensitive, and other performances. The platform is also connected to a vacuum pump group for performance testing under different air pressures. The signal switching circuit is composed of a probe, a circuit board, and a serial port connector. The signal on the material substrate is introduced to the circuit board through the probe, and then transmitted to the signal processing module through the serial port. The silver metal heating table is located below the material substrate, and the cooling water channel surrounds the test chamber to avoid damage from thermal stress during testing. The array (6x6, 12x12) material substrate is composed of a high-temperature ceramic substrate (or silicon substrate) and a micro-machined Pt interdigital electrode, which can simultaneously characterize the gas-sensitive performance of up to 144 materials. The atmosphere environment in the in-situ cell is mainly adjusted by a dynamic gas mixing method: the background gas (air or N2, Ar, and other inert gases) and the measured gas are introduced from the carrier gas path and the atmosphere path respectively, mixed, and then introduced into the in-situ cell. The type and concentration of the atmosphere are adjusted by a mass flow meter, and the total flow control range can vary in the range of 0.1-1000 sccm. The working temperature of the sensitive material is controlled by a mK2000 high-precision temperature control module, and the temperature control range is room temperature-500°C, with an accuracy of better than ±0.001°C. During the experiment, considering that the resistance change of some material films can span multiple orders of magnitude, the real-time resistance value of the material is obtained by using a matching resistance series voltage division method. After testing, the error of the system in measuring 1Ω-50GΩ resistance values is not more than 0.5%, the current range is 100pA-200mA, the voltage range is ±200mV-±20V, and the test mode can meet the volt-ampere curve Id-Vd, Id-Vg, gas-sensitive response curve I-t, R-t, etc.
