Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of infrared gas sensing, relates to an infrared sensing element, and particularly relates to a multi-element pyroelectric sensing element for multi-type gas sensing.
Background
In an infrared gas detection element, a detection unit is generally composed of a sensitive element (pyroelectric material) and its upper and lower electrodes, an infrared absorption layer, and an optical filter. Infrared light penetrates through the optical filter and is absorbed by the infrared absorption layer, so that the pyroelectric material generates temperature rise, an electric signal changes and is led out by the upper electrode and the lower electrode, and infrared detection is realized. The wavelength of infrared light cannot be selected by a common infrared absorption layer, and the infrared absorption layer can respond in a wide wavelength range, but only infrared light of a certain waveband is needed in application. Therefore, when the device is manufactured, the infrared ray is subjected to light splitting treatment to filter useless wave bands, only required wave bands are left, interference is eliminated, and therefore the infrared detection device has high selectivity and anti-interference performance.
The method commonly used today is to add a filter between the sensing element and the light source, the filter is usually a high-transmittance wafer with a multi-layer thin-film structure, and the function of the filter is to select a desired infrared band before infrared light reaches the sensing element, which is also the biggest characteristic of an infrared detection device of NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) type. When gas detection is realized, a plurality of sensitive elements are required to form a signal channel and a reference channel so as to improve the accuracy of signals. If multiple gas detection is desired, the number of channels needs to be increased, which means that more different filters are required and the final structure and the manufacturing process thereof become more complicated. Therefore, in the process of current NDIR device miniaturization and high integration research, the development of the device is greatly limited by the characteristics of the indispensable and structural properties of the optical filter. Thus, it becomes necessary to find new ways or structures to replace the filters.
Meta-materials refer to artificial composites or composite structures with extraordinary physical properties not possessed by natural materials. Experiments show that the metamaterial with a certain special structure can realize ultrahigh selectivity and absorptivity to infrared rays with different wave bands, and the metamaterial with the structure is also called as a metamaterial perfect wave absorbing structure (MPA). The metamaterial is small in size, is in a nanometer level, is mainly prepared on a substrate in a patterned thin film mode, and can select the central position of an absorption waveband through designing certain sizes of the metamaterial.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems or the defects, the problems that the device is miniaturized, the high integration process is complex and the mass preparation is not facilitated due to the optical filter in the existing infrared gas detection sensitive device are solved; the invention provides a multi-element pyroelectric sensitive element for multi-type gas sensing.
A multi-element pyroelectric sensitive element for multi-type gas sensing comprises n infrared sensitive units, wherein n is more than or equal to 1.
Each infrared sensitive unit has the same structure and comprises two structural layers: the first structural layer comprises a pyroelectric material, an upper electrode and a lower electrode, and forms a traditional infrared sensitive element; the second structure layer is an M-I-M metamaterial structure, namely three films of a bottom metal layer, a medium layer and a top metal pattern layer form a metamaterial infrared perfect wave absorbing structure (MPA). And the bottom metal layer of the second structural layer is simultaneously used as the upper electrode of the first structural layer. And optimizing the utilization rate of the structure. When the upper electrode layer is prepared on the pyroelectric material layer, a small area is reserved to be not covered with a subsequent metamaterial infrared absorption structure, so that the upper electrode of the pyroelectric material is exposed and used for leading out an electric signal.
Furthermore, the top metal pattern layer of the metamaterial infrared perfect wave-absorbing structure is subjected to partition graphical processing, metal nanometer pattern structures with different design sizes are prepared in different areas, and the metal nanometer pattern structures aim at infrared absorption peak wavelengths of different gases. Different areas after the partition graphical processing are cut, each area serves as an infrared sensitive unit, cutting channels among the units are used for thermal isolation and signal isolation, and therefore multi-sensitive element integration, multi-infrared band absorption and multi-gas type response on a single pyroelectric material are achieved.
In conclusion, the pyroelectric sensitive material and the metamaterial perfect wave-absorbing structure are combined, the material is applied to gas sensing, and metamaterials with different shapes and sizes are designed according to absorption peak positions of different gases; the high infrared selectivity of the sensitive element is directly realized, an optical filter part in the infrared gas sensor is omitted, the size of the device is greatly reduced, and the integration level of the device is improved. And a plurality of infrared sensitive elements aiming at different gas absorption wave bands can be simultaneously prepared on one pyroelectric material unit, so that multi-gas detection is realized, the integration level of the device is greatly improved, and the size of the device is reduced. Has application prospect in the infrared gas detection field.
