Description

Device performance evaluation method for coupling silicon-based MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) process and multiple physical fields
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a silicon-based MEMS performance evaluation method in the field of electronic information, and particularly relates to a silicon-based film process and a device performance calculation simulation method of a multi-physical-field model.
Background
MEMS sensors, i.e. Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), are a leading-edge research field of multidisciplinary intersection developed on the basis of microelectronics. Over forty years of development, it has become one of the major scientific and technological fields of world attention. It relates to various subjects and technologies such as electronics, machinery, materials, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and the like, and has wide application prospect. By 2010, more than about 600 units have worked on MEMS development and production, and hundreds of products including miniature pressure sensors, acceleration sensors, micro-inkjet printheads, digital micro-mirror displays have been developed, with MEMS sensors being a significant proportion. MEMS sensors are new types of sensors manufactured using microelectronics and micromachining techniques. Compared with the traditional sensor, the sensor has the characteristics of small volume, light weight, low cost, low power consumption, high reliability, suitability for batch production, easiness in integration and realization of intellectualization. At the same time, feature sizes on the order of microns make it possible to perform functions that some conventional mechanical sensors cannot achieve.
In a multi-physical field, physical fields are mutually superposed and mutually influenced, and the research on the multi-physical field is to research the relationship among a plurality of physical attributes of interaction. For example, natural convection heat transfer studies the relationship between pressure field, velocity field, temperature field, and magnetohydrodynamics studies the relationship between magnetic field, electric field, fluid field. As a research field across subjects, the multi-physics field covers various subjects including mathematics, physics, engineering, electromagnetism, and the like. When a multi-physical field model is established, a corresponding partial differential equation is established according to each physical field, and finally the equations are simultaneously established to form a multi-physical field equation set.
The existing silicon-based MEMS sensor is widely applied to various electronic products, and because the preparation process is complex and high in cost, how to design the silicon-based MEMS before preparation and optimize the process is very important. At present, no method for accurately detecting the performance of a device coupled by a silicon-based MEMS process and a multi-physical-field model exists internationally. The evaluation of the process performance of the device can be carried out through molecular simulation in the process, but the change of the process simulation specific structure cannot be simulated. At present, a device manufactured by a process can be designed and optimized through numerical algorithms such as finite elements, however, the influence of residual stress and the like on the device caused by process steps cannot be analyzed, and a silicon-based MEMS device performance evaluation method for simultaneous process simulation and device structure comprehensive judgment is lacked.
