Description

Uncooled infrared detector and pixel level packaging structure thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pixel level packaging, in particular to an uncooled infrared detector and a pixel level packaging structure thereof.
Background
At present, the non-refrigeration infrared mostly adopts a packaging technology which can be divided into a chip level, a wafer level, a pixel level and the like, wherein the chip level packaging technology can be divided into a metal tube package and a ceramic tube package according to the difference of packaging shells.
The metal package encapsulation is the encapsulation technology which is adopted at the earliest time, and the technology is very mature. Because the metal tube shell, the TEC, the getter and other parts with higher cost are adopted, the cost of the metal tube shell package is always high, and the application of the metal tube shell package to low-cost devices is limited.
The ceramic tube package can obviously reduce the volume and the weight of the detector after being packaged, and the raw material cost and the manufacturing cost are greatly reduced compared with the traditional metal tube package, so that the ceramic tube package is suitable for the production of large-batch electronic components. The development of the ceramic tube shell packaging technology benefits from the development of the technology without the TEC at present, the elimination of the TEC can reduce the requirement on the volume of the packaging tube shell and reduce the cost, but the ceramic tube shell packaging technology does not reach the electronic consumption level. Compared with the ceramic tube package technology, the wafer level package technology has higher integration level and simplified process steps, is more suitable for mass production and low-cost production, but still has large volume, and the thickness and the cost of the detector can not meet the requirements of electronic consumption level. The pixel level packaging technology independently packages a single pixel by using the traditional MEMS technology, which subverts the current packaging technology form, simplifies the manufacturing process of the non-refrigeration infrared focal plane detector rear end packaging and reduces the packaging cost to the utmost extent. However, with the maturity and the practicability of the pixel level packaging technology, the cost of the uncooled infrared focal plane detector is greatly reduced, the size and the thickness of the detector can be extremely consistent, and the uncooled infrared focal plane detector is closer to the visible light level, so that the uncooled infrared focal plane detector can meet the requirements of the consumer level application market.
The uncooled infrared detector needs to be packaged in a high-vacuum environment to achieve the purpose of infrared detection. However, the sealing of the exhaust holes is difficult in the conventional pixel level packaging technology, because the difficulty of pixel level packaging is how to seal the exhaust holes in a high vacuum environment and how to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the sealing holes, because the consistency of the response rate of the detector can be ensured only by ensuring the uniformity of the sealing holes, and the overall performance of the detector is affected if the sealing holes are not uniform. In addition, the detector uses the getter to suck air in the vacuum space, but the existing getter is arranged in various positions, but the best air suction effect cannot be achieved.
