The resonant MEMS differential pressure sensor can realize the measurement of differential pressure by detecting the resonant frequency of the resonator based on the principle that the resonant frequency of the resonator changes along with the differential pressure, is widely applied to the fields of oil exploration, industrial control, aerospace and the like, and has the excellent characteristics of high precision, good long-term stability, digital output, strong anti-interference capability and the like.
The resonant differential pressure sensor mainly adopts an integrated structure of a resonator and a pressure sensitive film, the resonator is placed on the pressure sensitive film, when the pressure sensitive film is subjected to differential pressure, the resonator is stressed to further cause the change of resonant frequency, and the magnitude of the differential pressure reversely deduced from the resonant frequency is detected through a closed-loop control circuit. Since the resonance frequency of the resonator should be influenced only by the differential pressure as a direct variable directly reflecting the magnitude of the measured differential pressure, it is necessary to vacuum-package the resonator in order to avoid the influence of external influencing factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, air pressure on the resonance frequency. In addition, the vacuum packaging can ensure that the resonant differential pressure sensor has a higher Q value, so that the resonant differential pressure sensor has higher detection resolution and faster system response speed.

Therefore, the invention provides a design and manufacture of a resonant differential pressure sensor based on a eutectic bonding process.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
The resonator of the resonant differential pressure sensor designed by the invention is an H-shaped double-end clamped beam, the double resonators are constructed and positioned in different stress areas of a pressure sensitive film, the double resonators are respectively called as a first resonator and a second resonator, the first resonator is placed in the middle of the pressure sensitive film, the second resonator is placed on the edge of the pressure sensitive film, and the stress on the H-shaped resonant beam on the film is opposite no matter the pressure sensitive film deforms upwards or downwards in the middle area and the edge area of the pressure sensitive film. As shown in fig. 5, when the stress (P1) applied to the first sensitive film is greater than the stress (P2) applied to the second sensitive film, the middle region of the pressure sensitive film is a tensile stress region, and the first resonant beam is subjected to a tensile stress to increase the resonant frequency; the pressure sensitive membrane edge area is a pressure stress area, and the second resonant beam is subjected to pressure stress at the moment so that the resonant frequency is reduced. When the stress (P1) borne by the first sensitive film is smaller than the stress (P2) borne by the second sensitive film, the middle area of the pressure sensitive film is a compressive stress area, and the first resonant beam is stressed by compression to reduce the resonant frequency; the pressure sensitive membrane edge area is a tensile stress area, and the second resonant beam is subjected to tensile stress to increase the resonant frequency. The frequency differential output of the double resonators is used for representing the magnitude of differential pressure, on one hand, the sensitivity of the resonant differential pressure sensor is increased, on the other hand, the theoretical design of the double resonators is the same, so that the double resonators are theoretically influenced by temperature and static pressure, but in practice, the double resonators are subjected to deviation in the process manufacturing process, so that the double resonators are not completely identical, but the differential output can still greatly reduce the temperature and static pressure errors.
The design method of the resonant differential pressure sensor based on the eutectic bonding process comprises the following steps:
step S1: constructing a three-dimensional model of the resonant differential pressure sensor;
step S2: finite element simulation is carried out on the three-dimensional model of the resonant differential pressure sensor, so that the problems of modal interference and double-resonator sensitivity matching are solved;
and step S3: and drawing the photoetching mask plate of the resonant differential pressure sensor. Preferably, the drawing of the resonant differential pressure sensor lithography mask is performed in MEMS pro.
Wherein the step S1 includes: substep S1a: carrying out finite element simulation on the differential pressure sensitivity of the first resonator and the second resonator when the first resonator and the second resonator are positioned at different positions on the pressure sensitive film, and adjusting the positions of the double resonators to achieve the purpose of matching the sensitivities; substep S1b: simulating the change of the differential pressure sensitivity of the resonant differential pressure sensor under the condition of different pressure sensitive film thicknesses, and determining the thickness of the pressure sensitive film; substep S1c: the geometric symmetrical design of the resonant differential pressure sensor structure is optimized through simulation of the static pressure sensitivity of the sensor.
The step S2 comprises the following steps: carrying out finite element simulation on the differential pressure characteristic and the static pressure characteristic of the resonant differential pressure sensor within the working range of the resonant differential pressure sensor by using ANSYS software; the working range of the resonant differential pressure sensor comprises a differential pressure range and a static pressure range, wherein the differential pressure range is-100 kPa to 100kPa, and the static pressure range is 10kPa to 350kPa.
The design prototype of the resonant differential pressure sensor provided by the invention is shown in figure 1, the resonant frequency of a resonator is related to differential pressure, an SOI substrate layer is used as a pressure sensitive film, an SOI device layer is used for constructing the resonator, an SOI buried oxide layer is used as an electric insulating layer and an anchor point, and a pure silicon chip is used as a sealing cover for vacuum packaging. The length of the resonator is set to 1140um, the width is set to 12um, and the middle connecting block is 36um long and 12um wide, as shown in fig. 2. The natural frequency is calculated to be 69.48kHZ by theory. The size of the pressure sensitive film is set to 7000um x 7000um, the size of the electrode on the device layer is 1000um x 1000um, and the diameter of the lead hole of the SOI substrate layer is 600um. The problem of interconnection of leads in vacuum packaging of the sensor is solved by etching a back hole in an SOI substrate layer.
As shown in fig. 1 to 7, the resonant differential pressure sensor has a structure including: the sensor sensitive unit 100 is characterized in that a sensor sensitive unit SOI is composed of a device layer 110, a buried oxide layer 120 and a substrate layer 130. On the backing layer there is a first pressure sensitive membrane 132 and a lead aperture 131. The device layer 110 has a first resonator 140 and a second resonator 150 thereon, and the first resonator 140 and the second resonator 150 are respectively located at the middle and edge regions of the pressure sensitive film. First resonator 140 and second resonator 150 are each coupled to substrate layer 130 via an anchor point located on buried oxide layer 120. The sensor package cover plate 200 is composed of a silicon layer 220 and a glass layer 210, and a second pressure sensitive film 221 is arranged on the silicon layer 220. The sensor sensitive unit and the packaging cover plate are in vacuum packaging through eutectic bonding, and the glass and the silicon wafer are connected through anodic bonding.
For a resonant differential pressure sensor, static pressure will cause the cross section of the diaphragm protected by the cap to deform, which will shift the resonant frequency of the resonant beam, and in order to make the first order effect of ambient pressure the same for each resonator, the effect of static pressure after the differential frequency output is greatly reduced. Therefore, when the device layer structure is designed, the electrodes of the first resonator and the second resonator and the size and shape of the electric connection part are designed into a geometrically symmetrical structure, as shown in figures 3-4. Except for the position of the two resonators on the pressure-sensitive membrane, the anchor points and the electrodes 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158 are geometrically symmetric.
In the design of the resonator, the positions of the first resonator and the second resonator on the pressure sensitive film are continuously adjusted through finite element analysis to achieve the purpose that the sensitivities of the first resonator and the second resonator are matched with each other, the sensitivity matching of the double resonators can enable the resonant differential pressure sensor to have better differential output and static pressure compensation performance, and finally the positions of the double resonators on the pressure sensitive film are respectively determined to be 1100um and-2760 um.
