Detailed description of the invention
As stated in the Background Art, existing pressure transducer unstable properties.
Fig. 1 is the cross-sectional view of a kind of sensor, including: substrate 100;It is positioned at substrate 100 table First electrode layer 101 in face;It is positioned at substrate 100 and the second electrode lay 102 on the first electrode layer 101 surface, Between described first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 102, there is cavity 103;Described first electrode layer There is between 101 and the second electrode lay 102 first conductive plunger 104 and the second conductive plunger 105, described Electrically insulated by insulating barrier between second conductive plunger 105 and the second electrode lay 102, and the first conductive plunger 104 and second the first electrode layers 101 bottom conductive plunger 105 are not attached to;Described first conductive plunger 104 and second the sidewall surfaces of conductive plunger 105 there is the first protective layer 106 cover;Described second electrode Layer 102 and the first electrode layer 101 apparent surface have the second protective layer 107.
Described first conductive plunger 104 and the second conductive plunger 105 are used for supporting the second electrode lay 102 and hang Empty in the first electrode layer 101 surface.Secondly, respectively to the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode lay 102 It is biased, obtains, with this, the electric capacity that the first electrode layer 101, the second electrode lay 102 and cavity 103 are constituted The capacitance variation amount of structure.Additionally, described first conductive plunger 104 and the second conductive plunger 105 points Do not electrically connect with the first electrode layer 101, and the first conductive plunger 104 and the second conductive plunger 105 institute The first mutual open circuit of electrode layer 101 of connecting is the most mutually isolated by wet sensitive dielectric layer, described mutually breaks First electrode layer 101 on road and wet sensitive dielectric layer constitute capacitance type humidity sensor, by the first conduction Connector 104 and the second conductive plunger 105 are biased, it is possible to obtain the first conductive layer 101 and be situated between with wet sensitive The capacitance variation amount of the capacitance structure that matter layer is constituted.Therefore, outside described sensor can obtain simultaneously The pressure in portion and humidity information.
But, find through research, as shown in the region A in Fig. 1 and region B, described first conduction Easily there is process byproducts in connector 104 or the top of the second conductive plunger 105 and bottom, such as, etches The polymer that technique produces, causes described first conductive plunger 104 or the second conductive plunger 105 and first The interface contact resistance that electrode layer 101 or the second electrode lay 102 contact increases so that sensor Operating current reduces, the unstable properties of the most described sensor.
Concrete, when forming the sensor shown in Fig. 1, described cavity 103 has sacrifice layer, institute State the second protective layer and be formed at sacrificial layer surface, described after forming the second protective layer, in the second protection Layer surface forms the second electrode lay 102, and removes described sacrifice layer after forming the second electrode lay 102.
For region A, wherein, due to described first conductive plunger 104 and the second conductive plunger 105 Sidewall surfaces is covered by the first protective layer 106, it is therefore desirable to be first formed at the first conduction in sacrifice layer The first protection connector that layer 101 contacts, etches described first protection connector, to protect described first Form the through hole exposing the first conductive layer 101 in connector, in described through hole, fill conductive material with shape Become the first conductive plunger 104 and the second conductive plunger 105.Owing to the material of described first protective layer 106 is Dielectric layer material, when etching described first protection connector to form through hole, easy generation is difficult in a large number The polymer removed, described polymer can be attached to the first conductive layer 101 surface of via bottoms, causes Electricity is contacted between one conductive plunger 104 and the bottom of the second conductive plunger 105 and the first conductive layer 101 Resistance increases.
For region B, due to after forming the second protective layer 107, on the second protective layer 107 surface Form the second electrode lay 102, and described the second electrode lay 102 needs to connect with the first conductive plunger 104 Touch, therefore before forming the second electrode lay 102, described second protective layer 107 can be etched and expose First conductive plunger 104 top.And the technique of described etching the second protective layer 107 can produce equally and be difficult to The polymer removed, described polymer can be attached to the first conductive plunger 104 top, cause the first conduction Contact resistance between connector 104 and the second electrode lay 102 increases.
In order to solve the problems referred to above, after further research, the present invention proposes the shape of a kind of semiconductor device One-tenth method.Wherein, after forming the first opening and the second opening in sacrifice layer, at described mask layer table Face, the first opening and the sidewall of the second opening and lower surface form conducting film.Wherein, it is positioned at first to open Conducting film in Kou is for forming the first connector, and the conducting film being positioned at the second opening is inserted for forming second Plug, owing to the first opening and the second opening are formed by etching sacrificial layer, and etches described sacrifice layer and is difficult to Producing etch by-products, it is good that the interface that the most described conducting film and the first conductive layer contact is difficult to quality, Contact resistance between the most described first connector or the contact interface of the second connector and the first conductive layer reduces. Secondly, it is positioned at the conducting film on mask layer surface for forming the second conductive layer, described second conductive layer and the One connector electrical connection, owing to described first connector and the second conductive layer are formed by conducting film, therefore described Contact resistance between first connector and the second conductive layer is low, electrical connection properties is good.Due to described first The contact resistance of connector and the top of the second connector or bottom is all reduced, the quasiconductor therefore formed The operating current of device improves, so that the stable performance of the semiconductor device formed.
Understandable, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for enabling the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage to become apparent from The specific embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
