Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, 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 background section, for the piezoelectric film bulk acoustic wave device, a cavity is correspondingly formed below the bottom electrode, so that the main body of the piezoelectric film is suspended on the substrate layer, and energy is confined in the cavity at resonance. However, when the conventional method of etching a cavity in a substrate layer is adopted, the piezoelectric thin film layer is easily damaged by over etching, so that the quality of the piezoelectric thin film is affected. Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a piezoelectric thin film body, which may be used to manufacture a cavity-type device, such as a piezoelectric thin film body acoustic wave device.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, a piezoelectric thin film body provided in an embodiment of the present application, for preparing a cavity device, such as a piezoelectric thin film body acoustic wave device, includes a substrate layer 1, an isolation layer 2, and a piezoelectric thin film layer 3 stacked in sequence; the substrate layer 1 comprises a substrate base 12 with a cavity 11; the cavity 11 penetrates through the etched surface of the substrate base body 12, wherein the etched surface of the substrate base body 12 refers to the surface of the substrate base body 12 adjacent to the isolation layer 2; the substrate base body 12 is arranged at the bottom of the cavity 11, the cavity 11 is completely filled with a filling layer, the filling layer is formed by depositing filling materials, and the filling layer is in contact with the isolation layer 2; wherein the filling layer is made of the same material as the isolation layer 2.
As shown in fig. 1, the substrate layer 1 of the piezoelectric thin film body is composed of a substrate base 12 and a filling layer filled in a cavity 11, wherein the top of the cavity 11 penetrates through an etched surface of the substrate base, the bottom of the cavity 11 does not penetrate through an opposite surface of the etched surface of the substrate base, i.e. the bottom of the cavity 11 is the substrate base, and the cavity 11 in fig. 1 corresponds to a groove-shaped structure with a bottom.
The filling layer is formed by depositing filling materials in the cavity 11, and the structure of the filling layer is the same as that of the cavity 11. The filling layer contacts with isolation layer 2, and wherein, isolation layer 2 can play the effect that supports piezoelectric film layer 3 on the one hand, and on the other hand can play the effect that prevents 3 signal leakage of piezoelectric film layer.
The piezoelectric film body provided by the embodiment of the application is mainly used for preparing a cavity type device, and the quality of the piezoelectric film layer can be ensured in order not to damage the piezoelectric film layer when the cavity of the cavity type device is prepared. The technical idea of the application is that a cavity is prepared on a substrate layer in advance, then the cavity is completely filled with filling materials to form a filling layer, the filled substrate layer is structurally the same as the substrate layer before the cavity is not prepared, and the difference is that the material of the filling layer is different from that of a substrate base body 12, wherein the material of the filling layer is the same as that of the isolation layer 2. The purpose of using different materials for the substrate base 12, the isolation layer 2 and the filling layer is to remove the filling layer in the cavity and the isolation layer 2 corresponding to the cavity by using a wet etching method without damaging the structure of the substrate base 12 when subsequently using the piezoelectric thin film body provided by the embodiment of the present application to prepare a cavity type device, so that a cavity with the same size as the preset cavity can be obtained, and the piezoelectric thin film layer 3 cannot be damaged by using the wet etching method. The wet etching method is to remove a portion to be etched without damaging the piezoelectric thin film layer 3 by using an etching solution which can react with the filling layer and the isolation layer 2 but does not react with the substrate base 12 and the piezoelectric thin film layer 3.
Based on the above analysis, the materials of the filling layer and the isolation layer 2 should be satisfied that, when the piezoelectric thin film body is subjected to wet etching treatment, the erosion solution erodes the filling layer and the isolation layer 2, and the erosion solution does not erode the substrate base 12 and the piezoelectric thin film layer 3.
In the present embodiment, the substrate base 12 may be made of lithium niobate, silicon, or other materials, which are not limited in the present embodiment. The isolation layer 2 is made of the same material as the filling layer, for example, the filling layer and the isolation layer 2 may be made of silicon oxide, nitrogen oxide, aluminum nitride, or the like. In one example, the substrate base 12 is silicon, the filling layer is silicon dioxide, and the isolation layer is silicon dioxide; in another example, the substrate base 12 is formed of lithium niobate, the filler is formed of alumina, and the barrier layer is formed of alumina.
The piezoelectric thin film layer 3 in the embodiment of the present application may be a piezoelectric material such as lithium niobate or lithium tantalate, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
The isolation layer 2 and the filling layer are made of the same material, so that firstly, when the piezoelectric film body is subjected to wet etching treatment, the filling layer and the isolation layer at the position corresponding to the cavity can be removed by adopting an erosion solution, and the treatment process is simple; secondly, in the process of preparing the piezoelectric film body, a filling material can be directly selected, and the filling layer and the isolating layer are prepared by one-step forming, so that the preparation process is simple.
Example two
Referring to fig. 2, a piezoelectric thin film body provided in the second embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the piezoelectric thin film body provided in the first embodiment, except that the cavity 11 in the second embodiment penetrates through the substrate layer 1.
As shown in fig. 2, the top of the cavity 11 penetrates the etched surface of the substrate base 12, and the bottom of the cavity 11 penetrates the opposite surface of the etched surface of the substrate base 12. The corresponding filling layer penetrates through the substrate layer 1, the top surface of the filling layer is in contact with the isolation layer, and the bottom surface of the filling layer is on the same horizontal plane with the opposite surface of the etched surface of the substrate base body 12.
It should be noted that the number and size of the cavities 11 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application, for example, one or more cavities 11 may be provided; the size of the cavity 11 can be set according to actual requirements, for example, the length of the cavity 11 is 2000 μm, the width is 500 μm, and the depth is 110 μm, and it should be further noted that if the substrate layer includes a plurality of cavities, the sizes of the plurality of cavities may be the same or different.
It should be understood that, based on the first and second embodiments, if the substrate layer 1 includes a plurality of cavities, the plurality of cavities may all be the substrate base 12 at the bottom of the cavities as described in the first embodiment; alternatively, the plurality of cavities may all extend through the substrate layer 1 as described in embodiment two; alternatively, a part of the cavities in the plurality of cavities may be the substrate base 12 at the bottom of the cavity as described in embodiment one, and another part of the cavities may penetrate through the substrate layer 1 as described in embodiment two.
EXAMPLE III
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric thin film body according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the preparation method comprises the following steps:
step 1, etching at least one cavity 11 from the etching surface of the substrate layer 1 to the opposite surface of the etching surface according to a preset size to obtain a substrate base 12.
Firstly, preparing a substrate wafer as a substrate layer, for example, using a silicon wafer or a lithium niobate wafer as the substrate layer, then using the bottom surface or the top surface of the substrate layer as an etching surface, and performing full-through etching or semi-penetration etching from the etching surface to the opposite surface of the etching surface, wherein a cavity obtained by the full-through etching penetrates through the whole substrate layer (as shown in fig. 2), a cavity obtained by the semi-penetration etching does not penetrate through the whole substrate layer, and a substrate base body which is not etched is remained at the bottom of the cavity (as shown in fig. 1).
The size of the etched cavity 11 should correspond to the size of the cavity device to be prepared later, and the specific size of the cavity is not limited in the present application. For example: the width of the cavity may be 50 μm to 5mm, the length of the cavity may be 100 μm to 10mm, and the depth of the cavity may be 50 μm to 500 μm. The depth of the cavity refers to the vertical distance of the cavity between the etched side and the opposite side of the etched side. It should be noted that the cross section of the cavity illustrated in fig. 1 and 2 is rectangular, and it should be understood that the cavity is not limited to the shape illustrated in the figures, for example, the cross section of the cavity may be trapezoidal or other shapes.
In one specific example, a silicon wafer substrate having a size of 4 inches, a thickness of 0.5mm, and a smooth surface is prepared, and a plurality of cavities that do not penetrate through the silicon wafer are etched on the silicon wafer substrate using a dry etching method, each cavity having a size of: 500 μm in width, 2000 μm in length and 110 μm in depth. Wherein, the dry etching can be mechanical etching or plasma etching.
In another specific example, a silicon wafer substrate having a size of 4 inches, a thickness of 0.5mm, and a smooth surface is prepared, and a plurality of cavities penetrating the silicon wafer are etched on the silicon wafer substrate by using a dry etching method, wherein each cavity has a size of: a width of 500 μm, a length of 2000 μm, and a depth of 500. mu.m. Wherein, the dry etching can be mechanical etching or plasma etching.
And 2, depositing a filling material on the substrate base body, wherein the filling material completely fills the cavity, a filling layer is formed in the cavity, the filling material covers the filled etched surface of the substrate base body for a preset isolation thickness, and an isolation layer is formed on the filled etched surface of the substrate base body.
The method for obtaining the filling layer and the isolation layer is not limited in the embodiment of the application, and in an implementation mode, the filling layer and the isolation layer can be prepared by one-step process; in another implementation, the filling layer and the isolation layer can also be prepared by different steps, for example, filling the cavity with the filling material, completely filling the cavity, and then depositing the filling material on the filled etched surface of the substrate base to obtain the isolation layer.
And (3) completely filling the cavity 11 etched in the step (1) with a filling material different from the substrate base body 12 material, and forming a filling layer in the cavity 11.
The filler is selected such that the etching solution attacks the filler when the wet etching process is performed on the substrate layer 1, and the etching solution does not attack the substrate base 12.
For example, the substrate base is made of silicon, the filler is silicon dioxide, the etching solution is HF, and when the substrate layer 1 is subjected to wet etching, the HF etches the silicon dioxide but not the silicon, so that the substrate base 12 with the cavity 11 can be obtained after the substrate layer is subjected to wet etching.
The filling material may be deposited in the cavity 11 by sputtering, evaporation or electroplating. For example, if the depth of the cavity 11 is 110 μm, then a filling material with a thickness of 110 μm is correspondingly deposited in the cavity 11, or a filling material with a thickness greater than 110 μm is deposited, so that the cavity 11 is completely filled.
The isolation layer 2 can support the piezoelectric thin film layer 3 on the one hand, and can prevent the piezoelectric thin film layer 3 from signal leakage on the other hand. The isolation layer 2 and the filling layer are made of the same material, for example, the isolation layer 2 and the filling layer are made of silicon oxide, nitrogen oxide, aluminum oxide or aluminum nitride material. The isolation layer 2 can also meet the requirement that when wet etching treatment is carried out on the isolation layer 2, an erosion solution only erodes the isolation layer 2, and the erosion solution does not erode the substrate base 12 and the piezoelectric thin film layer 3.
The isolation layer 2 is made of the same material as the filling layer, so that the filling material can be directly deposited on the etching surface of the filled substrate base body continuously until the filling material is covered on the etching surface of the substrate base body and the isolation thickness is preset to form the isolation layer, and the isolation layer is deposited after the surface of the filling layer in the step 2 is not required to be further processed, so that the preparation process is simpler.
In the piezoelectric film body, certain requirements are made on the smoothness of an interface, and the roughness of the interface is generally required to be less than 0.5nm, so that energy loss caused by scattering of sound waves on the interface can be avoided. Therefore, in order to obtain the isolation layer 2 with low roughness, the thickness of the filling material covering the etched surface of the substrate base 12 after filling may be made larger than the predetermined isolation layer thickness, and then the thickness of the filling material covering the etched surface may be mechanically reduced to the predetermined isolation layer thickness by grinding and polishing, so as to obtain the isolation layer 2 with low surface roughness, for example, the surface roughness of the isolation layer 2 may be reduced to less than 0.5 nm.
And 3, preparing a piezoelectric film layer 3 on the isolation layer 2 to obtain a piezoelectric film body.
The prepared piezoelectric film body comprises a substrate layer 1, an isolation layer 2 and a piezoelectric film layer 3 which are sequentially stacked.
The method of manufacturing the piezoelectric thin film layer is not limited in the present application, and for example, the piezoelectric thin film layer may be manufactured on the spacer layer by using an ion implantation method and a bonding method, or by using a bonding method and a lapping and polishing method.
If the piezoelectric thin film layer is prepared on the top of the isolation layer by using the ion implantation and bonding methods, in the embodiment of the present application, any feasible ion implantation method and any feasible bonding method may be combined to prepare the piezoelectric thin film layer, which is not limited in the present application.

In the embodiment of the application, the thickness of the piezoelectric thin film layer can be adjusted by adjusting the ion implantation depth, and specifically, the larger the ion implantation depth is, the larger the thickness of the prepared piezoelectric thin film layer is; conversely, the smaller the depth of ion implantation, the smaller the thickness of the piezoelectric thin film layer prepared.
And 102, bonding the ion implantation surface of the film material with the isolation layer to obtain a bonded body.
In the embodiment of the present application, the bond is formed after a thin film material is bonded to an isolation layer, wherein the thin film material is not peeled off from the isolation layer, and the ion implantation surface is a surface that is implanted with ions toward the thin film material.
The method for bonding the thin film material and the isolation layer is not particularly limited, and any method for bonding the thin film material and the isolation layer in the prior art can be adopted, for example, the bonding surface of the thin film material is subjected to surface activation, the bonding surface of the isolation layer is also subjected to surface activation, and then the two activated surfaces are bonded to obtain a bonded body.
The method for activating the surface of the bonding surface of the thin film material is not particularly limited, and any method of activating the surface of the thin film material in the prior art, such as plasma activation and chemical solution activation, may be adopted; similarly, the present application does not limit the bonding surface of the isolation layer in any way, and any method that can be used in the prior art for surface activation of the bonding surface of the isolation layer, such as plasma activation, can be used.
And 103, carrying out heat treatment on the bonding body, and separating the residual layer from the piezoelectric film layer to obtain the piezoelectric film body.
In an implementation manner, the bonded body is subjected to heat treatment, the temperature of the heat treatment is 100-600 ℃, bubbles are formed in the separation layer during the heat treatment, for example, H ions form hydrogen, He ions form helium, and the like, the bubbles in the separation layer are connected into one piece as the heat treatment progresses, finally, the separation layer is cracked, the residual layer is separated from the piezoelectric thin film layer, so that the residual layer is stripped from the bonded body, and a piezoelectric thin film layer is formed on the surface of the separation layer.
In the embodiment of the present application, an achievable heat treatment manner is to put the bonding body into a heating device, first raise the temperature to a preset temperature, and then keep the temperature at the preset temperature.
