Description

MEMS planar resonator and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of micro-electromechanical systems, and particularly relates to a MEMS planar resonator and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The development of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology has led to miniaturization and microminiaturization of many macroscopic devices, which brings advantages of small volume, low cost, low power consumption, and the like, and also develops many new devices. MEMS resonators are typically fabricated by bulk micromachining techniques or surface micromachining techniques, and are used in sensors or actuators where the Q-value of the MEMS resonator has a large impact on the performance of the device, and therefore it is often desirable to maximize the Q-value.
In order to realize the conduction of the MEMS resonator, the surface of the resonator needs to be metallized when the resonator material is not conductive, and the metal conductive layer can introduce additional energy loss to reduce the Q value of the resonator. Particularly in recent years, research into quartz glass case resonators has been greatly emerging, and the Q value of the conductive layer of three-dimensional quartz glass case resonators has been greatly reduced. Therefore, there is a need for a high Q resonator that can evaluate the energy loss of a 10nm thick metal conductive layer, and select the appropriate metal type and metal film processing process. In 1975, b.s.berry et al measured metal internal consumption using a quartz glass ribbon resonator; in 2010, a.d. feffer man et al measured the internal consumption of metal at low temperatures using a silicon torsional resonator proposed by a.n. kleiman et al in 1985. Currently, the Q value of these resonators is usually between fifty thousand and twenty thousand at room temperature, the measured film thickness is mostly in the order of 100nm, and it is difficult to meet the evaluation requirement of the metal conductive layer with the thickness of 10nm, and a planar resonator with a higher Q value is needed.

Detailed Description
For a better understanding of the objects, structures and functions of the present application, a MEMS planar resonator and a method for manufacturing the same are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, a MEMS planar resonator 100 is formed by a beam 102, a bridge 104, flying wings 106, legs 108 and a tail wing 110, wherein the beam 102 is connected with the middle of the bridge 104, the bridge 104 is connected with the upper edges of two rectangular flying wings 106, the beam 102 is isolated from the flying wings 106 by a strip-shaped hole 105, the edge of each flying wing 106 is connected with the edge of the rectangular tail wing 110 by the legs 108, rectangular holes 107 are formed in the two flying wings 106, the two legs 108 and the tail wing 110, and the flying wings 106, the bridge 104, the legs 108 and the periphery of the tail wing 110 form a large rectangle; a portion of the tail 110 is integrally bonded to a substrate 114 having a cavity 116; the portions of the beam 102, bridge 104, flying wing 106, leg 108, tail 110 not bonded to the substrate 114 constitute the MEMS planar resonator suspended vibration sites 138.
The included angle between the side wall of the MEMS planar resonator suspended vibration region 138 and the surface of the MEMS planar resonator suspended vibration region 138 is between 80-90 degrees.
The horn 102, bridge 104, flying wing 106, leg 108 are the same material as the tail 110.
The material of the vibration beam 102, the bridge 104, the flying wing 106, the leg 108 and the tail wing 110 is one of group III-V semiconductor material and group IV semiconductor material, and may be one of monocrystalline silicon, monocrystalline silicon carbide, monocrystalline silicon nitride, gallium arsenide, quartz glass, quartz crystal, monocrystalline alumina and monocrystalline diamond.
The substrate 114 is made of one or more of a silicon-based wafer, a compound semiconductor wafer, a third generation semiconductor wafer, an optical wafer, and other substrate wafers, and may be, for example, one of a silicon wafer, a gallium arsenide wafer, a gallium phosphide wafer, a gallium antimonide wafer, an indium phosphide wafer, an indium arsenide wafer, an indium antimonide wafer, a silicon carbide wafer, a gallium nitride wafer, an aluminum nitride wafer, a gallium oxide wafer, a zinc oxide wafer, a quartz glass wafer, a quartz wafer, a lithium niobate wafer, a sapphire wafer, a diamond wafer, and a germanium wafer.
An example of a 300um thick single crystal silicon MEMS planar resonator 100 is given herein. As shown in fig. 1 (b), the legs 108 of the MEMS planar resonator 100 have a width of 0.50mm and a length of 11.75mm; the width of the vibration beam 102 is 1.50mm and the length is 6.50mm. The first-order modal frequency of the vibration beam is about 8.5 kHz; the amplitude of the horn 102 is maximized and the amplitudes of the bridge 104 and flying wing 106 are sequentially reduced. In the mode Liang Yijie, strain energy is concentrated primarily at the junction of the bridge 104 and the beam 102. The dissipation of vibrational energy to the substrate through the wing 106 and leg 108 to the tail attachment portion 112, and particularly the elongated leg 108, facilitates isolation of energy, locks energy exiting the bridge 104 into the wing 106, reduces anchor loss, and this configuration facilitates achieving a high Q.

In terms of structural design, the resonant frequency can be changed by adjusting the length of the vibration beam 102; to reduce anchor zone loss, the length of leg 108 may be further increased. For MEMS planar resonators 100 of other thicknesses, the dimensions are varied so that the eigenfrequency of the first order mode of the beam is around 10 kHz.
