Description

Amorphous metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor that can be integrated
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of semiconductor sensor spare, particularly relate to the semi-conductive gas sensor of amorphous metal oxide that a kind of low-cost efficiently large scale can be integrated.
Background technology
Along with the continuous development of social life and industrial technology, gas sensor has more and more important effect on monitoring toxic and harmful, industrial gaseous waste, atmospheric pollution and raising food and human settlement's Environmental Protection Level.Main example application has NO in pair atmosphere x, SO x, CO 2Monitoring Deng harmful gas; Monitoring to CO in the life production; Detection to ethanol, methyl alcohol; To detection of vehicle exhaust etc.
Since the sixties in last century, the metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensor just occupies the principal market of gas sensor with higher sensitivity, response advantage such as rapid.Initial gas sensor mainly adopts SnO 2, ZnO is gas sensitive, researched and developed some new materials in recent years again, except a small amount of single metal oxide materials, like WO 3, In 2O 3, TiO 2, Al 2O 3Deng outside, hot of research and development mainly concentrates on composite metal oxide and the potpourri metal oxide is as shown in table 1.
The corresponding metal oxide sensitive material of all kinds of detected gas of table 1
Figure BDA0000059924880000011
Figure BDA0000059924880000021
Metal oxide semiconductor sensor can be divided into two kinds of resistance-type and non-resistance-types on ultimate principle.
SnO 2, ZnO constant resistance formula metal oxide semiconductor sensor ultimate principle be to utilize the oxide semiconductor surface adsorption of gas and the resistance characteristic that the catalysis double effect changes material to external world; Thereby reach monitoring purposes; Belong to surperficial control type; But the serviceability temperature of such semiconductor transducer is higher, under 200~500 ℃, just possesses higher sensitivity greatly.Some are improved one's methods is in basic material, to add some noble metals (like Ag, Au, Pb etc.), activator and adhesive A l 2O 3, SiO 2, ZrO 2Wait and improve sensitivity, raising response time, reduction working temperature, the selectivity etc. that improves.The method for preparing these sensitive materials has sintering process, sol-gal process, chemical vapour deposition technique and physical deposition method etc.
Non-resistance-type metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensor mainly comprises metal oxide semiconductor field effect tube (MOSFET) type gas sensor and diode-type gas sensor etc.The quick Pd grid of hydrogen MOSEFT is the catalytic metal gate field-effect gas sensor that is developed into the earliest, and when hydrogen and Pd have an effect, the threshold voltage of FET will change with density of hydrogen, detect hydrogen with this.Adopt yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) to make the grid of MOSFET, Pt can be made into the quick FET type of oxygen gas sensor as metal gate.The metal gate of MOSFET is removed, adopt La 0.7Sr 0.3FeO 3Oxide semiconductor field effect pipe (OSFET) the formula gas sensor that nano thin-film has been made micron-scale, working and room temperature as grid has successfully been realized the detection to alcohol gas.
Semiconductor gas sensor can be divided into slug type, thick-film type and film-type etc. from manufacture craft.
Slug type can be divided into directly-heated type and heater-type again by type of heating.The directly-heated type slug type mainly is made up of gas sensitive material, heater strip and signal silk.Heater strip with measure silk and all directly be embedded in the gas sensitive, heater strip is used for the energising heating, measures silk and is used for measuring sensor resistance.The advantage of this element is: preparation technology is simple, power consumption is little, cost is low.Shortcoming is that the element function consistance is poor.Because element is little, thermal capacity is also little, influenced by ambient windstream, measures between loop and heating circuit and does not isolate, and interacts.Heater strip is in heating and can not produce breathing under the heated condition, causes the loose contact of material easily.
The heater-type structure is to have increased a capillary ceramic pipe in tube core inside, and heater strip penetrates in the ceramic pipe, outside pipe, coats the signal electrode of gold electrode as measuring sensor resistance, outside gold electrode, is coated with sensitive material, fired forming.This structure has overcome some shortcoming of directly-heated type element; Because heater strip does not contact with gas sensitive; Avoided measuring the mutual interference mutually between loop and the heating circuit; The consistance of element function improves a lot, and physical strength also is greatly improved, and becomes a kind of major structural types of present commercialization gas sensor.
The thick-film type sensor is a substrate with very thin oxidation pot potsherd generally; The back side at substrate coats from heater core; Another side is made bar shaped gold (or platinum) electrode with methods such as evaporation, sputters; It is acute technological on electrode, to adopt silk screen to print, and the air-sensitive slurry for preparing is coated with stamp, and forms through drying and sintering again.
The structure of film-type sensor and thick film device are similar, and difference is not to adopt screen printing technique to adopt in the preparation of gas sensing layer only, but adopts methods such as evaporation, sputter, and gas sensing layer thickness is thin more than thick-film type.Thin film type gas-sensitive device major part prepares on silicon substrate; Can utilize advanced technologies such as semiconductor planar processing technology; Help the integrated of difference in functionality element, and on silicon substrate, make the micro-hotplate structure, power consumption is very little; About milliwatt magnitude is the main developing direction of semiconductor gas sensor from now on.This element manufacturing is simple, is suitable for producing in enormous quantities, but because gas sensing layer adopts general method for manufacturing thin film, makes doping vario-property become difficult, thereby receive certain restriction.Utilize advanced technologies such as semiconductor planar technology; Can the film-type element of difference in functionality be integrated on the same substrate; Thereby preparing multifunctional integrated novel sensor array, realize the improvement of sensor performance, is the important directions of sensor development from now on.
Several kinds of structures each have its relative merits, and the element technology of thick-film type and heater-type structure is fairly simple comparatively speaking, cost is low, but power consumption is big, consistance is poor, response is not high enough, volume is big, it is integrated to be unfavorable for; The component size of film-type structure is little, it is integrated to be beneficial to, and power consumption is little, is the direction of gas sensor development.
A kind of common film integrated-type gas sensor is on silicon substrate, to utilize MEMS technology that the flakiness structure is corroded at the back; Deposit successively above that and structures such as formation dielectric isolation layer, METAL HEATING PROCESS electrode, heat rejection absciss layer, gas sensitive and extraction electrode; Because heating is removed with the big portion silicon materials at back, sensitizing range; Cause air insulated, thermal conduction path greatly weakens, and the power consumption that therefore makes heating resistor reach required working temperature greatly reduces.With the integrated signal processing function that can make full use of the conventional cmos circuit of silicon substrate, realize that monolithic is integrated simultaneously, reduce sensor bulk and overall cost.This structure is called as the micro-hotplate integrated sensor.
Yet conventional micro-hotplate integrated sensor is based upon on the silicon substrate and is applied to special MEMS technology, so cost is higher.The potpourri that the while sensitive thin film is generally particulate form is unfavorable for the integrated of thin film electronic.
