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.
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
The invention is further described with reference to the following drawings and specific examples, which are not intended to be limiting.
Example one
The first embodiment of the invention provides a preparation method of a silicon wafer of a micro-electro-mechanical system, which comprises the following steps:
in step S1, a plurality of bumps are formed on the contact surface of the silicon wafer to reduce the contact area of the contact surface of the silicon wafer.
Specifically, there are three methods for improving the stiction performance of silicon wafers, the first is to enhance the self-healing force of the silicon wafer, the second is to change the energy of the surface of the silicon wafer, and the third is to reduce the contact area between two silicon wafers. In this embodiment, a third method is adopted to reduce the contact area between the silicon chips by implanting a plurality of bumps on the contact surface of each silicon chip.
As a preferred embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, step S1 specifically includes:
step S11, as shown in fig. 2, a patterned mask 2 is covered on the contact surface of the silicon wafer to open a process window 1;
step S12, as shown in fig. 3, an ion implantation process is performed through the process window 1 to form a plurality of ion-doped regions 3;
step S13, as shown in fig. 4, removing the mask 2;
in step S14, as shown in fig. 5, an etching process is performed on the contact surface to form a plurality of bumps 4 on the contact surface.
Specifically, the mask 2 in this embodiment is a photoresist, a patterned photoresist is first covered on the contact surface to open the process window 1, and then an ion implantation process is performed through the process window 1 to form a plurality of ion-doped regions 3 on the contact surface of the silicon wafer, and the widths of the plurality of ion-doped regions 3 are the same. In the present embodiment, arsenic ions (As) are implanted by an ion implantation process to form a plurality of ion-doped regions 3, wherein the implantation amount of the arsenic ions is 1 × 1016/cm3Phosphine (Ph) may also be implanted, but at the same implant dose, the height of the ion doped region implanted with arsenic ions is significantly higher than the ion doped region implanted with phosphine ions. As shown in Table 1, the implantation doses were all 5.00E +15/cm3Meanwhile, the height of an ion doping area formed by injecting phosphine ions is 115 angstroms, and the height of an ion doping area formed by injecting arsenic ions is 117 angstroms, so that the difference between the two is small; the implantation dosage is 1.00E +16/cm3In this case, the height of the ion-doped region formed by implanting phosphine ions was 157 angstroms, while the height of the ion-doped region formed by implanting arsenic ions was 172 angstroms, which was significantly higher than the former. Therefore, the most preferable embodiment in this example is to implant the concentration of 1.00E +16/cm into the contact surface3Arsenic ion (b).

3 As 1.00E+16 172A
4 As 5.00E+15 117A

TABLE 1
Further, after the plurality of ion doping regions 3 are formed in the above step, the mask 2 on the contact surface is removed, the plurality of ion doping regions 3 are subjected to patterning processing, and finally, a dry etching process is performed on the contact surface of the silicon wafer until the plurality of ion doping regions 3 are completely etched away, and the etching rate of the plurality of ion doping regions 3 is higher due to the doping of ions, so that the etching depth of the regions corresponding to the plurality of ion doping regions 3 is higher than that of other regions, and a height difference is generated, thereby forming the plurality of bumps 4. It should be noted that the height of the bump 4 is related to the height of the ion-doped region 3, and therefore, in step S12, the height of the ion-doped region 3 needs to be controlled, and generally speaking, the higher the height of the bump 4 is within a certain range, the more beneficial the static resistance of the contact surface of the silicon wafer is to be reduced.
Specifically, in this embodiment, an electrostatic discharge test (Snapdown test) is performed on a silicon wafer of a different type of mems, and the electrostatic discharge test refers to a test in which a voltage is used to pull and deform the internal structure of the silicon wafer by generating an electrostatic force to observe the recovery of the internal structure of the silicon wafer, and is more rigorous than a drop test (Dropping test). As shown in fig. 6, the reference sample (control) is a normal silicon wafer without any static resistance protection and having only self-restoring force, and the test sample (Implant) is a silicon wafer implanted with bumps, and the proportion of good chips in the silicon wafer after the two are subjected to the electrostatic discharge test is analyzed. The experimental results show that the proportion of Good cores (called Good Die in silicon wafer boundary, each silicon wafer is composed of a plurality of cores, and the Good cores with qualified performance after testing) of the silicon wafer implanted with the bumps is far higher than that of the silicon wafer without the bumps. Fig. 7 shows a CDF (cumulative sensitivity function) of the experiment.
Specifically, the width of the bump 4 also has a certain influence on the static resistance performance of the silicon chip of the mems, and in this embodiment, a six-degree-of-freedom sensor unit (6DOF inertial sensor unit FIS2108) is used as an experimental sample, and bumps with different widths are arranged on the six-degree-of-freedom inertial sensor unit, and the widths are 0.4 μm, 0.6 μm and 1 μm respectively. As shown in fig. 8, the six-degree-of-freedom inertial sensor unit having a bump width of 1 μm has the highest good core rate compared to the other two. FIG. 9 is a CDF map of this experiment. In short, the larger the width of the bump 4, the better the stiction performance of the silicon wafer of the mems.
Example two
A second embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a silicon wafer of a micro electro mechanical system, comprising the steps of:
step S1, step S1, forming a plurality of bumps on the contact surface of the silicon wafer to reduce the contact area of the contact surface of the silicon wafer;
step S2, a layer of anti-adhesive protective film is covered on the surfaces of the bumps.
Specifically, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in the second embodiment, besides implanting the bump on the surface of the silicon wafer substrate, an anti-adhesion protective film is further covered on the surface of the bump for reducing the adhesion on the surface of the bump. In this embodiment, Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) is used as the material of the anti-adhesive protective film.
Further, in this embodiment, an experimental analysis of the static resistance performance is performed on the above several different types of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), and the inertial measurement unit is a six-degree-of-freedom inertial sensor unit. The experiment totally comprises four types of micro-electro-mechanical system silicon wafers: the first type is an IMU without any stiction protection (neither bump nor HMDS implanted), the second type is an IMU with HMDS only on the contact side of the silicon wafer, the third type is an IMU with bumps only implanted (silicon wafer in example one), the fourth type is an IMU with bumps implanted and HMDS on the bump surface (silicon wafer in example two).
Specifically, in this experiment, the first type of IMU included 33 chips, the second type of IMU included 103 chips, the third type of IMU included 20 chips, and the fourth type of IMU included 60 chips. When testing each IMU, put a plurality of chips on the circuit board (DB for short), then place the circuit board on a U template, drop the experiment to every IMU, drop the U template to the metal sheet from the height of difference on, every IMU carries out 60 at least and drops the experiment to guarantee that the surface of metal sheet bears 40 ~ 2000 g's impact force.
Further, table 2 shows the stiction performance data after the four types of IMUs in this experiment had completed the drop test, with 85% of the 33 chips of the first type of IMU showing stiction, 22% of the 103 chips of the second type of IMU showing stiction, 5% of the 20 chips of the third type of IMU showing stiction, and none of the 60 chips of the fourth type of IMU showing stiction, without recovery via Firmware (FW). With FW recovery, the first class of IMUs still exhibited 39% stiction, while the other three classes did not. The experimental data show that the effect of implanting the bump on the contact surface of the silicon wafer is the best, and meanwhile, the effect of reducing the static resistance to a certain extent is achieved by covering the HMDS, so that the fourth type of IMU is obtained by combining the two methods in the second embodiment.
