Description

Self-supporting MEMS infrared light source and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor photoelectric components, in particular to a self-supporting MEMS infrared light source and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The MEMS infrared light source radiates wide-spectrum infrared light outwards by heating the MEMS film according to a thermal radiation principle. The MEMS infrared light source basically consists of a substrate, a supporting structure film, a heating layer and a radiation layer. The substrate is used to support the entire membrane and the heating and radiation layer structures. The support membrane is the support structure for the heating layer and the radiation layer. The heating layer is made of conductive metal, and converts electricity into heat energy by applying a certain voltage. Since the infrared spectrum produced by black body radiation is dependent on the radiation temperature, the film region heats up to several hundred degrees during normal operation of the light source. Then, wide-spectrum infrared light is radiated outwards through the heat radiation principle.
Currently, MEMS infrared light sources are manufactured by semiconductor processes, starting with a silicon wafer substrate, followed by deposition of a supporting thin film structure on the wafer, followed by fabrication of a heating layer and a radiation layer on the thin film. However, during the operation of the light source, the normal operating temperature of the light source is several hundred degrees, so that the film generates a large thermal stress due to its own thermal expansion. The thermal stress may cause the film to become unstable, causing the film to crack, etc. And in the process of switching on and off the light source, the mechanical strength of the film is reduced along with the increase and decrease of the temperature of the film, and the stability of the light source is reduced.
