Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of mechanical sensors, in particular to a high-precision silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor chip.
Background
The silicon piezoresistive pressure chip needs to be packaged when in use, and the silicon piezoresistive pressure chip is connected with the packaging shell in a manner of adhesive, as shown in fig. 1 a. Fig. 1a is a typical silicon piezoresistive pressure chip TO8 package, mainly comprising a base, a pressure chip, a cap and an adhesive, wherein the base is made of kovar alloy material for reducing the influence of a temperature sensor, because the kovar alloy has a higher matching degree with the thermal expansion coefficient of silicon.
The silicon piezoresistive pressure chip and the base are fixed in an adhesive mode, silicon rubber is generally used for adhesive bonding, and creep and aging effects naturally exist in the long-term use process of the silicon rubber, so that the external stress environment of the silicon piezoresistive pressure chip can be changed slowly, the silicon piezoresistive pressure chip belongs to a stress sensitive device, and creep and hysteresis of the adhesive are accumulated for a long time, so that slow drift of output of the pressure chip can be caused. In order to solve the problem of slow drift of the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor in the current industry, some measures and measures are adopted:
1. the thickness of the silicon piezoresistive pressure chip glass substrate is increased. As shown in FIG. 1b, a silicon piezoresistive pressure chip is generally composed of a two-layer structure, with the upper layer being silicon and the lower layer being glass. In order to isolate the stress of the adhesive tape, a manufacturer thickens the glass and reduces the transmission of the stress from the bottom to the surface of the chip as much as possible, and the mode can reduce the influence of the stress on the performance of the chip to a certain extent, but the thickness of the glass cannot be too thick due to the limitation of the structural size of the sensor, otherwise, many application scenes cannot be used due to the limitation of the volume;
2. a low stress adhesive is used. In this respect, researches are always carried out at home and abroad, and various adhesives are tried, but as most of materials of the adhesives are based on silicon rubber, the hysteresis and creep effects of the silicon rubber naturally exist, so that the problem of long-term drifting of the silicon piezoresistive pressure chip is not fundamentally solved;
3. and (5) performing accelerated aging on the packaged pressure sensor. The research institutions at home and abroad accelerate the hysteresis and creep processes of the rubber by performing multiple physical field actions such as temperature circulation, pressure circulation, vibration and the like on the pressure sensor, and expect to reduce the slow drift of the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor, so that the method can play a certain role, is considered as a more effective method by the industry, but does not fundamentally solve the slow drift problem of the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor;
the means and measures can only improve the output slow drift of the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor, and can not fundamentally solve the problems.
The phenomenon that the output of the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor slowly drifts along with time is generally caused by slow creep and hysteresis of adhesive glue, and the current industry mainly adopts methods of increasing the thickness of a glass substrate of the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor, adopting low-stress adhesive, carrying out accelerated aging and stress release on the pressure sensor and the like to relieve the problem of the slow drift along with time of the output of the sensor, and the methods only can improve the problem of the slow drift of the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor and cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
