Description

Micromachine or microoptoelectronic device and produce the carrier of this device
Technical field
The present invention relates to micromachine or microoptoelectronic device, comprise the deposit that is used to adsorb to the gettering material of the harmful gas of the operation of described device, and be used to activate or the integrated heater of deexcitation gettering material at the life period of device itself; The invention still further relates to the carrier that is particularly suitable for producing these devices.
Background technology
The micromachine device (is comparatively known in the art, be called as " micromachine ", or be abbreviated as MM) be in developing stage, for example be used for small-sized sensor or actuator, the typical example of MM is a micro accelerometer, it is used as the sensor of the airbag that starts automobile, micromotor, it has the gear and the sprocket wheel of several microns sizes, perhaps optical switch, the mirror surface that wherein has the size of tens micron number magnitudes can move between two different positions, thereby light beam is guided into two different directions, direction is corresponding to the on-state of light path, and another direction is corresponding to the blocking state of light path.
Microoptoelectronic device for example comprises infra-red radiation (IR) sensor of a new generation, and they are different with traditional infrared sensor, do not need the temperature of low temperature just can carry out work.These IR sensors by be set at evacuated indoor semi-conducting material for example the sedimental array of silicon constitute.According to the General Definition of miniaturized device, below these devices are called miniaturized device.
Miniaturized device is generally made by the technology that obtains from microelectronics industry, is included in the operation that deposit has different electricity (or magnetic) materials with function on the flat carrier layer, selectively removes these materials then.These devices generally are accommodated in and utilize in the housing that identical technology makes.The most general carrier is a silicon wafer in the production of these devices, and its thickness is less than about 1mm, and has the diameter that reaches 30cm.On each wafer, make the many devices of numbers of poles, then, when making the processing end, under the situation of MM, utilize machine cuts or laser cutting to cut apart single device from these wafers, perhaps under the situation of IR sensor, be divided into the part that comprises the array that constitutes by tens devices.
The step utilization of deposit different layers for example is commonly referred to as the chemical vapor deposition technology of CVD to be carried out, and perhaps utilizes physical vapor deposit (PVD) to carry out.The latter also is collectively referred to as " sputter ".In general, utilize suitable mask by removing that chemistry or physical etchings are selected, as well known in the art.
In general, MM is encapsulated in container metal or pottery then, mainly is for mechanical protection, could insert final equipment (computer, automobile etc.) then.And the IR radiation sensor generally is included in the chamber, and a wall in the face of the chamber is called as " window ", and radiation is transparent to IR for it.
The function of miniaturized device can be owing to existing unwanted gas to change.In MM, the mechanical friction between gas molecule and moving component because the latter small-sized, can cause the tangible deviation with the ideal operation of device; And polar molecule for example water can cause in moving component and other parts adhesion between its carrier body for example, thereby cause possible device fault.Under the situation of IR sensor, the gas that may exist in the chamber can absorb the part of radiation, perhaps by convection current heat is delivered to the array of siliceous deposits thing from window, thereby changes measurement.Therefore, importantly guarantee the whole life period maintenance vacuum of the housing of these miniaturized device at device.
In order to make the content minimum of the gas in these devices, the manufacturing of these devices is carried out in vacuum chamber usually, carried out pump simultaneously and inhale step before encapsulating.But, fail in this way to deal with problems fully, can discharge gas, perhaps can penetrate gas from outside (for example by welding) because be used to make the material of device.
Enter gas in the solid-state devices in order to remove life period at device, proposed the use gettering material.Gettering material is for example zirconium, titaniums of some metals, vanadium, the alloy of niobium or tantalum or they and other transition metal, rare earth metal or aluminium.These metal or alloy have gentle style such as hydrogen, oxygen, water, the oxide of carbon and to a certain extent and the strong chemical affinity of lower hydrocarbon; Some getter alloys can also absorbed nitrogen.In MM, use gettering material for example in people's such as H.Henmi paper " Vacuum packaging formicrosensors by glass-silicon anodic bonding ", to disclose, this article is published in technical journal Sensors and Actuators A, vol.43 (1994), on the p243-248, and at US5,155,778, US 5,952,572 and US 6,469, disclosed in 821, in the IR sensor, use simultaneously gettering material for example at US 5,921,461 and US 6, disclosed in 252,229.
At the applicant International Patent Application WO 03/009317 and WO03/009318 and patent application US 2003/0138656 under one's name the wafer that uses has been described when making miniaturized device; wherein on wafer, there has been one deck gettering material; it can temporarily be protected, and is being exposed under the internal environment of device during the manufacturing of device.
As everyone knows, gettering material (metal and alloy) is heat-treated with initial activation in order to carry out need of work, by initial activation, remove passivation layer (usually oxide, carbide or the nitride by metal forms) from the surface of material and expose fresh " cleaning " can with the interactional surface of gas.Contain in the known processing of miniaturized device of gettering material in manufacturing, this activation is carried out during the heat treatment of sealing, wherein under the situation that silicon-silicon directly welds, by heating down two parts (generally being made by silicon) are welded to one another together at about 1000 ℃, perhaps between two parts, insert suitable material, for example under the situation of the Au-Si composition of the eutectics of fusing under about 370 ℃, under lower temperature, be welded together.
But, during this was handled, the material that constitutes miniaturized device can discharge the gas that is absorbed by getter.The result makes the activation deficiency of getter, this is because during whole high-temperature process, material is exposed to gas continuously, thereby when processing finishes, its surface not only is made of metallic atom, but also cover by nitrogen oxide, carbide, during heating treatment the quantity of the gas in the environment of getter is many more, and the scope of covering is big more.(big gas load) in the worst case, after to device sealing, getter is in fact invalid.The patent application US 2003/0138656 that quotes has described a kind of wafer; wherein getter layer is temporarily protected by the gold that the extremely thin inert metal of one deck for example at high temperature is diffused into during welding step in the getter, thereby discharges the fresh surface of gettering material.But, in this case, there is not control about the degree of time range or this diffusion, make (thereby in fact can not avoid having the problem of the getter of consumption when processing finishes) may take place prematurely, perhaps the degree of Fa Shenging is too limited, make the free getter that has only limited quantity when finishing, the result makes to have low GAS ABSORPTION activity.
Therefore, need have the getter of making and carry out the reactivation processing, perhaps during the manufacturing step of miniaturized device, getter be remained on the possibility of about 300 ℃ temperature.But, this need heat entire device, and this is unpractiaca basically, and is impossible realize in some cases, because have the danger that destroys device under the activation temperature of getter.
In order to address this problem, patent application US2002/0149096 has proposed a kind of method that is used to make miniaturized device of operating under vacuum, and wherein at the life period of device, getter can at random be heated.According to the instruction of this application, on the substrate of device, provide (machinery or photoelectronic) structure of a kind of activity, also be formed with the deposit of gettering material, when needs, can be by means of the transistor activation that also is integrated in the substrate.
Though this method has overcome the shortcoming of the passive activation in welding step and carried out the initiatively shortcoming of activation by the heating entire device, it relates to suitable complex devices structure.In fact, activation transistor (or other similar semiconductor devices) is formed first on the substrate, may be as various layer overlapping, cover by one deck dielectric material then, this especially may be as various layer overlapping, wherein must be formed for connecting following transistorized opening.Apply layer of conductive material then on dielectric material, it links to each other with transistor by above-mentioned opening, and then directly or by the additional one deck resistance material as heater introduces the activation electric current to the superimposed layer of gettering material.
Obviously, this structure causes quite high manufacturing time and cost, and may cause the inconvenience on the activation step manipulate of gettering material.In fact, need dielectric layer to become bad semiconductor devices with protective transistor or other its performance under about 400 ℃ temperature, this is to carry out the temperature that the getter activation may reach.Provide temperature sensor in addition, when surpassing predetermined threshold value, it can send the signal that stops to activate to the getter heating system.This obviously means increases device cost and complexity.
About processing wherein, all use identical fabrication tool for transistor with gettering material, this may cause pollution by the zirconium or other heavy metal that are included in the getter film, this can change the feature of conductance of other semiconductor layer of different crystal pipe.
At last, will be understood that in order to make this structure, it is impossible using the wafer that is applied with gettering material in advance according to above-mentioned international application, thereby always needs specific manufacturing step to apply gettering material.

In all above-mentioned devices, when the characteristics of Sediments of gettering material makes it can not adopt remodeling of the present invention as shown in Figure 4 when flowing through electric current and heated effectively, Fig. 4 only represents the main element of this remodeling with sectional view.
In this case, the deposit 40 of gettering material is not directly formed on that (it can be an element 11,13 on the base 41, in 21,22,31 or 32 any one), but be formed on the additional layer 42, this layer has the electrical feature that is suitable for utilizing current flow heats.By means of through hole 44,44 ', layer 42 and contact 43,43 ' link to each other, and these contacts link to each other with being connected with reference to the described external electric of Fig. 1 again.
In the unshowned remodeling of another kind, if the gettering material that uses is owing to reason chemistry and/or physics can not directly contact with zone of heating 42, an additional layer then can be provided, described layer electric insulation but heat conduction are (for example, and be inserted between gettering material and the heater 42 silica).
The gettering material that can use in the present invention is miscellaneous, comprises for example Zr of metal, Ti, Nb, Ta, V, the alloy in the middle of these metals, perhaps at these metals with from Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Al, the alloy of one or more elements of selecting in the middle of the Y, La and rare earth element.Bianry alloy Ti-V for example, Zr-V, Zr-Fe and Zr-Ni, ternary alloy three-partalloy Zr-Mn-Fe, Zr-V-Fe or Zr-Co-A (wherein A represents mischmetal(l), the mixture of the commerce of yttrium, lanthanum and rare earth element), the mixture of perhaps aforesaid metal and alloy; Because they have mechanical property well, especially consider the loss of particle, these mixtures are preferred.
The deposit of gettering material can utilize multiple technologies to obtain, and is for example cold rolling, if it is not too crisp to form sedimental carrier thereon, then is possible; Electrophoresis is to be possible under the situation of electric conductor at described carrier, and can limits deposit by suitable macking technique, wherein utilizes insulating materials as sheltering, and after deposit forms, will shelter and remove; Serigraphy utilizes machinery to shelter the qualification deposit; Perhaps sputtering technology is sequestered in the required zone by means of chemistry in this case and limits described deposit, removes sheltering after deposit forms.For the miniaturized device of several millimeters lateral dimensions, can use all technology of mentioning, and for the device with about 1mm or littler lateral dimension, preferred technology is sputter.
In order to realize purpose of the present invention, getter deposit must be heated under the temperature between about 200 and 400 ℃ by electric current, preferably between about 250 and 350 ℃.Finer and close deposit, for example the deposit that is obtained by sputter can utilize electric current directly to be heated under required temperature.
In contrast, comparatively the deposit of porous for example by the deposit of electrophoresis or serigraphy acquisition, is difficult to utilize electric current directly to heat, and in this case, preferably utilizes the gettering material that is deposited on the extra play with suitable feature, as shown in Figure 4.In this case, extra play 42 can by metal for example aluminium or semi-conducting material for example polysilicon make.Utilize suitable sheltering by means of for example serigraphy, evaporation, electroplating technology or sputter, can obtain metal deposit, these all are widely known by the people in metal level formation field.
According to miniaturized device, can for example metal, pottery, semiconductor or glass manufacturing form the sedimental parts of gettering material thereon with different materials.Preferable material is a silicon, because it allow to use general unusual mature technique in microelectronic now in micromachine or microoptoelectronic device field, the main points of these technology are: form thin layer on a carrier, and remove these layers partly, partly, thereby obtain to have the structure of very small dimensions in accurate reproducible mode.

Second kind of possible carrier represented with sectional view in Fig. 6.In this case, carrier 60 is made up of the different material of many layers, and these materials are in order: base 61 is for example made by silicon, and layer 62 is by making (for example aluminium) by the material that electric current heats easily; Layers of getter material 63; And layer 64, for example make by silica, be used for temporary protection layer 63 and be not subjected to atmospheric effect.In base 61, form pair of holes 65,65 ', they make introduces power supplys with to its heating to layer 62.Can cut carrier 60 along dotted line and produce a plurality of MM.During manufacture, the internal environment that gettering material is exposed to MM also will be removed, thereby made to layer 64 whole or in part.
In other remodeling of carrier of the present invention, layer 62 and 64 can not exist simultaneously, for example, has had under the situation about being fit to by the feature of current flow heats at layers of getter material, can save layer 62, perhaps can have the carrier that has layer 62 and do not have protective layer 64.
At last, show last embodiment at Fig. 7 with sectional view according to carrier of the present invention.In this case, carrier 70 comprises base 71, has the deposit 72,72 ', 72 of many parts of gettering material on it " ...; The pair of holes 73,73 ' that on base 71, forms and these sedimental each be associated, be used to make deposit to be connected with external electric.The zone 74,74 ', 74 of base 71 " ... be held empty, be used to constitute the active structure of miniaturized device, thereby dotted line represents to be used for the line of cut that cut vector 70 is produced a plurality of miniaturized device once more.
Also can adopt described measure in this case, even be used in base 71 and deposit 72,72 ', 72 with reference to Fig. 6 " ... between resistant layer, to improve the later heating of these deposits; It avoids the influence of atmosphere perhaps to use one deck on deposit to be used for temporary protection.The carrier of type 70 can be used for making MM, but its use is especially preferred under the situation of microoptoelectronic device, wherein as mentioned above, with the relative housing parts of part that obtains active structure on it must be transparent for radiation, thereby the deposit of gettering material is arranged on its whole surface.
Obviously, aforesaid embodiment according to device of the present invention only is the example that can make many changes.Especially the sedimental accurate shape of movable member or sensor element and gettering material and arrange can be as required and the shape in the space of material that uses and housing and freely changing, described shell space can be formed on base or the cap, perhaps partly is formed on both.
The deposit of gettering material by electric current by direct-fired situation under (promptly not having under the situation of extra play 42) by another advantage provided by the invention be, by means of identical electric contact (for example 18,18 ' or 27,27 '), it can monitor the remaining GAS ABSORPTION ability of gettering material.The sedimental resistance of known gettering material increases with the quantity of the oxide, nitride or the carbon compound that form in its surface, thereby, at any time check the sedimental resistance value of gettering material as probe by using identical contact, and the value that exhausts of more described resistance value and default expression getter, when the deposit that can learn gettering material needs reactivation, thereby have only when needs, just make deposit carry out reactivation.
Do not break away from protection scope of the present invention, can make possible additional and modification device of the present invention.
