Description

Ceramic-based micro-hotplate with functional layer and preparation method thereof
The present application claims priority of chinese patent application having application number 201810715807.1 entitled "a silicon-based ceramic substrate and method for making the same" filed by the chinese patent office on 29/06/29/2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electronic device manufacturing, in particular to a ceramic-based micro-hotplate with a functional layer and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Micro Hot Plate (MHP) based on silicon Micro machining technology is a common heating platform in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and has been widely applied to Micro devices such as Micro gas sensors, micro thermal flow meters, micro infrared detectors, barometers, and the like. The basic structure of the micro-hotplate comprises an overhead dielectric film and a resistor strip. When current is passed through the resistive track, a portion of the joule heating generated by the resistor is used to heat the micro-hotplate, and another portion is dissipated in the ambient environment by conduction, convection, and radiation. The suspended structure makes the micro-heating plate have very small thermal inertia and very high electric-thermal coupling efficiency, and the central temperature zone of the micro-heating plate can be rapidly heated within a few milliseconds due to milliwatt-level thermal power. Thus, the micro-hotplate has a very fast thermal response time and low thermal power consumption.
The processing technology of the silicon-based micro-heating plate prepared based on the MEMS technology mainly comprises three processing technologies of back bulk silicon, front bulk silicon and surface, the main technological process is to deposit a silicon nitride film and a silicon oxide film with certain thickness on a silicon wafer by adopting a chemical vapor deposition technology, prepare a patterned resistance heating film by adopting a physical vapor deposition technology, and then etch silicon below the silicon nitride film and the silicon oxide film by adopting a deep silicon etching technology, so that the silicon nitride film and the silicon oxide film are suspended, and the micro-heating plate with good heat insulation performance is obtained. However, the resistance heating film prepared by physical vapor deposition of the existing micro-hotplate is usually platinum, tungsten, molybdenum or polysilicon with a thickness of hundreds of nanometers, and the thickness of the material is small, so that the formed film crystal grain is small, when the material is subjected to high-temperature heat treatment (above 600 ℃), the heating resistance is usually irreversibly changed, and after the high-temperature treatment, a gold wire ball-bonding process cannot be carried out due to surface oxidation, or the resistance is changed when the material is heated to a certain high temperature (above 600 ℃), for example, a semiconductor gas sensor based on a silicon-based micro-hotplate, when a tin dioxide semiconductor material is deposited on the surface of the sensor, annealing at 600 ℃ in an air atmosphere is required, and if the micro-hotplate cannot bear the temperature, the semiconductor gas sensor based on the silicon-based micro-hotplate cannot complete preparation of a good gas-sensitive material. Secondly, the adopted silicon dioxide material still has higher thermal conductivity (7W/m.K), which is not beneficial to further reducing the power consumption of the micro-hotplate. Moreover, the silicon nitride film, the silicon dioxide film and the resistance heating film are all prepared by adopting a chemical or physical vapor deposition process, the required equipment is expensive, the preparation process cost is high, and the cost of the micro-hotplate is not favorably reduced further.
When the micro-hotplate is used in the fields of gas concentration detection, infrared detection and the like, corresponding signal sensing materials need to be prepared on the micro-hotplate, and corresponding signal sensing electrodes need to be prepared. If the signal sensing material is deposited on the heating electrode, the heating electrode and the signal sensing material are in physical contact, which is easy to cause mutual influence between the heating electrode and the signal sensing material, and the final test result is inaccurate.
As can be seen from the above description, in the prior art, the micro-hotplate mainly has the following problems that the resistance heating film formed by physical vapor deposition has poor high temperature resistance, resulting in poor stability and reliability of the product; moreover, the silicon dioxide film has high thermal conductivity, and as the heat dissipation is fast, in order to maintain the set working temperature, large input power is required, which is not beneficial to further reducing the power consumption of the micro-hotplate; meanwhile, physical vapor deposition equipment and chemical vapor deposition equipment are expensive, so that the manufacturing cost of the silicon nitride film, the silicon dioxide film and the resistance heating film is high, and the cost of the micro-hotplate is not further reduced; further, when a functional layer for sensing an external signal is formed on the micro-hotplate, a general micro-hotplate easily causes mutual interference of a heating signal and a sensing signal.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
As described in the prior art, in the conventional micro-hotplate, a silicon nitride film and a silicon dioxide film are sequentially formed on one side surface of a silicon wafer substrate by chemical vapor deposition, and then a resistance heating film is formed on the silicon dioxide surface by physical vapor deposition.
The physical vapor deposition process has low temperature, the formed resistance heating film has poor high temperature resistance, the micro-hot plate has high temperature in the subsequent gold wire ball bonding process or as a catalytic combustion gas sensor, and the poor high temperature resistance of the resistance heating film can cause poor reliability and stability of products and influence the product quality.
And the silicon dioxide has higher thermal conductivity, which can lead to higher heat dissipation speed, so that when the micro-hotplate is used for heating operation, such as a catalytic combustion sensor, the micro-hotplate needs to be heated to a gas combustion temperature, higher power consumption is needed to overcome the heat consumption caused by the higher heat dissipation speed, and the power consumption is higher when the product operates.
Meanwhile, the physical vapor deposition equipment and the chemical vapor deposition equipment are expensive, so that the preparation cost of the product is high.
The inventor researches and discovers that if the mature processing technology of the silicon substrate is combined with the excellent electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of the ceramic substrate, the ceramic film prepared on the silicon substrate can meet the requirements of specific products. That is, the ceramic film is formed on the silicon substrate by the set ceramic slurry, so that the ceramic substrate with better electrical, mechanical and thermal properties can be formed, and the manufacturing cost is lower. Then, a high-temperature resistant heating layer is formed on the surface of the ceramic substrate by sintering the conductive paste, so that the reliability and stability of the product are improved, and the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced. And an insulating medium layer can be formed on the surface of the heating layer, and a functional layer is formed on the surface of the insulating medium layer, so that the problem of mutual interference of the heating signal and the sensing signal can be avoided.
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

The heating electrode 13 and the heating resistor 14 may be prepared using the same heating layer formed of the same conductive paste. In other manners, the two may be prepared by using different resistance pastes and electrode pastes, at this time, the heating electrode 13 is a conductive pad with a certain area, and an external circuit may be electrically connected to the heating electrode 13 by welding manners such as pressure welding, ball welding, spot welding, and the like. The heating electrode 13 mainly provides the signal of telecommunication that the external world applyed for the micro-hotplate, and heating resistor 14 is the main heating element of micro-hotplate, and when external electric current transmitted heating resistor through the heating electrode, heating resistor produced joule heat, and then provided the heat source for the micro-hotplate.
In order to make the micro-hotplate have smaller heat capacity and faster thermal response, the ceramic membrane in contact with the heating resistor is set as a suspended membrane, and silicon in contact with the ceramic membrane and the substrate 11 is completely etched by an etching technology to form the air heat-insulating cavity 15. An air heat insulation cavity 15 is formed by adopting a deep silicon etching technology, and the silicon substrate 11 corresponding to the central heating area A can be etched by a physical method or a chemical method to form the air heat insulation cavity. The shape of the heating resistor 14 is properly adjusted according to different shapes of the heating layer, however, no matter what the shape is, the heating electrode 13 and the heating resistor 14 are electrically connected, the heating resistor 14 is set to be a specific shape according to requirements, and a specific temperature is provided for the operation of the micro-heating plate after heating.
Wherein, the ceramic film 12 is formed by sintering a set ceramic slurry formed on the surface of the silicon substrate 11; the heating layer is formed by sintering a set conductive paste formed on the surface of the ceramic membrane 12. The heating electrode 13 is used for acquiring an electric signal input by an external circuit to provide an operating voltage for the heating resistor.
The ceramic film 12 is formed on the surface of the silicon substrate 11 by adopting the set ceramic slurry through a thick film printing process, and after high-temperature sintering, the dense ceramic film 12 can be formed, so that the ceramic film 12 can be stably and reliably combined with the silicon substrate 11, the bonding force is good, and the ceramic film is dense and hard.

Compared with the prior art, the ceramic membrane 12 and the heating layer of the ceramic-based micro-hotplate 10 are prepared by respectively forming a membrane by using set slurry and sintering at a high temperature. And through high temperature heat treatment or heating to certain high temperature, zone of heating and ceramic membrane 12 all have better high temperature resistant characteristic, and the resistance of the heating resistor 14 of zone of heating is stable, and the product robustness is better. The ceramic film 12 has lower thermal conductivity and better heat insulation performance, and is beneficial to further reducing the power consumption of the ceramic-based micro-hotplate 10. Moreover, the ceramic film 12 and the heating layer can be formed by a thick film printing technology, expensive physical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition equipment is not adopted, and a low-cost film forming process is adopted, so that the product cost is reduced.
The silicon substrate 11 is a single crystal silicon wafer with double-sided oxidation, single-sided oxidation or non-oxidation, and the crystal orientation of the single crystal silicon wafer is 100 or 111, so that the ceramic film 12 and the silicon substrate 11 have a stable contact effect. Or the silicon substrate is a polycrystalline silicon wafer with double-sided oxidation, single-sided oxidation or unoxidized silicon substrate. By using a monocrystalline silicon wafer or a polycrystalline silicon wafer, the ceramic film 12 and the silicon substrate 11 can have a stable contact effect.
