Description

Miniature vacuum gauge and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of device design and manufacturing processes of micro-electromechanical systems, in particular to a micro vacuum gauge structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The miniature vacuum gauge has smaller size and is widely applied to vacuum degree detection of a vacuum chamber. In addition, because the preparation flow is matched with the semiconductor manufacturing process, the vacuum degree change can be monitored in real time by integrating and packaging the vacuum degree change in some Micro Electro-mechanical system (Micro Electro-MECHANICAL SYSTEMS, MEMS) vacuum devices. Such as MEMS acceleration sensors, gyroscopes, micromirrors, etc. with high-speed moving (displacement or vibration or rotation) parts. The micro vacuum gauge can also be used for real-time pressure evaluation and adjustment of vacuum devices through matching with getter, deflating agent and other materials.
On the one hand, achieving a wide range of measurements with a micro-gauge is inherently challenging. The miniature vacuum gauge is a device for representing the vacuum degree of the environment by using the gas heat transfer capability, the temperature of a thermosensitive area controlled by a heating circuit is transferred to a substrate below through the difference of the heat transfer capability of gas molecules under different vacuum degrees, and then the temperature difference is converted into electrical data through a thermistor and is output. Under high vacuum conditions, the gas heat transfer rate is much smaller than the solid heat transfer rate and the heat radiation rate of the supporting structure due to the smaller number of gas molecules, so that the gas pressure change in the vacuum range is harder to detect. For this reason, it is often desirable to increase the area of the vacuum sensing membrane and reduce the volume of the support structure, thereby increasing the proportion of gas heat transfer to the total heat dissipation. On the other hand, since micro-vacuum gauges often need to be integrated within the vacuum cavity of MEMS devices, their size is limited by the size of the vacuum cavity. The size of the vacuum sensing film of the micro vacuum gauge is increased to occupy the area of the MEMS device, so that the mechanical property of the cantilever structure is reduced, the challenge is brought to the cavity release process below the vacuum sensing film, the performance of the device is influenced, and the service life of the device is shortened.

Example 1
As described in the background, increasing the area of the vacuum sensing film is a common technique for increasing the barometric sensitivity of a micro-gauge structure in the high vacuum range. In devices with smaller vacuum sensing films, cavity release below the support film is easy to achieve, but in larger cavity structures, complete cavity release is difficult to achieve. Under the barrier of the vacuum degree sensing film, the reaction gas or liquid is difficult to enter the central area of the vacuum degree sensing film, so that an unreleased sacrificial layer is left in the central area below the vacuum degree sensing film, the adhesion between the vacuum degree sensing film and the substrate is caused, the performance of the micro vacuum gauge is reduced, and even the device is disabled. Moreover, larger size vacuum sensing membranes can increase the mechanical load of the cantilever membrane, which can easily cause collapse of the suspended structure during manufacturing and transportation. On the other hand, the increase in volume increases the difficulty of the packaging process, thereby affecting usability. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a micro vacuum gauge structure, which can effectively increase the area of the vacuum sensing film without increasing the volume of the micro vacuum gauge structure, so that the heat transfer capability of gas molecules under high vacuum condition is greatly improved, and the sensitivity of the micro vacuum gauge structure is improved.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, this embodiment provides a micro vacuum gauge structure, which includes, in order from bottom to top along a thickness direction: substrate 10 and vacuum degree sensing film 11:
As shown in fig. 2, a cavity 100 is formed on the upper surface of the substrate 10, and the vacuum sensing film 11 is suspended above the cavity 100;
the vacuum sensing film 11 comprises, in order from bottom to top: the device comprises a first dielectric film 110, a metal film 111 and a second dielectric film 112 covering the metal film 111, wherein the surface of the first dielectric film 110 facing the cavity 100 is provided with more than two first protruding structures 113 so as to increase the contact area between gas and the vacuum sensing film 11;

In this embodiment, the first protrusion structure is disposed on the surface of the first dielectric film 110 of the vacuum sensing film 11, so that the contact area between the vacuum sensing film 11 and the gas can be effectively increased, the heat transfer capability of the cavity gas can be increased, the vacuum detection sensitivity in a high vacuum range can be improved, and the mechanical strength of the metal film 111 above the first dielectric film 110 can be ensured.

As an example, the material of the second dielectric thin film 112 includes at least one of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride. The film may be a single-layer film or a multilayer film, for example, a single-layer silicon oxide film or a single-layer silicon nitride film, or a three-layer composite structure of a silicon oxide film, a silicon nitride film, and a silicon oxide film.
As an example, all the first bump structures 113 are identical and are uniformly arranged in an array on the first dielectric thin film 110. That is, the first bump structures 113 on the first dielectric film 110 are uniformly arranged in an array, and the arrangement mode can effectively improve the heat transfer uniformity of the vacuum sensing film, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the micro vacuum gauge structure.
As another example, the first bump structure 113 is cylindrical in shape to facilitate process implementation. As shown in fig. 3, preferably, when the first bump structure 113 is cylindrical, the height L1 of the first bump structure is between 10nm and 200nm, including end points, for example, may be 10nm, 50nm, 100nm, 200nm, etc.; the cross-sectional diameter D is not greater than 10 μm, inclusive, and may be, for example, 1 μm, 3 μm, 5 μm, 7 μm, etc.; the minimum distance L2 between two adjacent first bump structures is not greater than 100 μm, including the end point values, which may be, for example, 1 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, etc.
As another preferred example, the upper surface of the second dielectric film 112 is provided with two or more second bump structures (not shown in the figure), which can further increase the contact area between the vacuum sensing film 11 and the gas based on the first bump structure, thereby increasing the heat transfer capability of the cavity gas and improving the vacuum detection sensitivity in the high vacuum range. As a preferred example, all the second protrusions have the same structure and are uniformly arranged in an array on the second dielectric film 112. That is, the second bump structures on the second dielectric film 112 are uniformly arranged in an array, and the arrangement mode can further effectively improve the heat transfer uniformity of the vacuum sensing film, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the micro vacuum gauge structure. As another preferred example, the shape of the second bump structure is cylindrical so as to facilitate process implementation, and further, when the second bump structure is cylindrical, the height of the second bump structure is between 10nm and 200nm, including end point values, for example, may be 10nm, 50nm, 100nm, 200nm, and the like; the cross-sectional diameter D is not greater than 10 μm, inclusive, and may be, for example, 1 μm, 3 μm, 5 μm, 7 μm, etc.; the minimum distance L2 between two adjacent second bump structures is not greater than 100 μm, including the end point values, which may be, for example, 1 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm, 100 μm, etc.
As another example, the dimensions (shape, size, height, etc.) and the spacing between the first bump structure 113 and the second bump structure may be the same or different, and specifically set according to actual needs.
As a preferred example, the vacuum sensing film 11 is connected to the surface of the substrate 10 by four cantilever beams 12, and the four cantilever beams 12 are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction. The arrangement mode can reduce solid heat transfer between the vacuum degree sensing film 11 and the substrate 10 on the premise of ensuring the mechanical strength of the micro vacuum gauge structure, and can improve the shape retention of the vacuum degree sensing film, thereby improving the accuracy of the vacuum degree monitoring result.
As an example, the terminal of the metal film 111 forms a metal electrode 140, one end of which is a positive electrode and the other end of which is a negative electrode, on the substrate 10. The number of the metal electrodes 140 may be an even number of 2, 4,8, or the like, and half of them are positive electrodes and half of them are negative electrodes.
As another example, when there are four cantilever beams 12, two of the cantilever beams 12 have the metal film 111, 2 electrodes are formed by extending the terminal ends of the metal film 111 onto the substrate 10, and the other two cantilever beams have no metal film, and only the first dielectric film 110 and the second dielectric film 112 are extended onto the substrate 10, so as to achieve the supporting effect on the vacuum sensing film.
As another example, the material of the metal thin film 111 is selected from simple substances of titanium, platinum, copper, tungsten, nickel, tin, or gold, or an alloy of the above metals. As a preferred example, the metal film 111 is made of titanium, which is easier to process, lower in cost, higher in resistivity, and higher in resistivity under the same resistance and temperature change, so that the sensitivity of the vacuum gauge structure is higher, and when titanium is used as the metal film 111, the terminal end of the metal film 111 extends on the substrate 10 as an adhesion layer between the metal electrode 140 and the substrate 10, so as to improve the adhesion of the metal electrode 140.
