Description
(1) technical field
The present invention is meant a kind of method for making of optical grating construction, refer to especially a kind of with monox as the grating sacrifice layer, make the optical grating construction post, and form the optical grating construction method for making of the adhesion layer and the metal level of grating face in low rate evaporation mode with the hard bake mode of the long photoresistance of low temperature.
(2) background technology
Traditional little actuating is glittered the formula grating in order to reach switching function, to have external form, and the purposes such as outward appearance of still possessing grating after activating of the formula grating that glitters, its structure mainly is made of the grating minute surface 4 of silicon substrate 1, structural column 2, torque arm 3 and suspension, shown in Fig. 1 (a).It is the top view of an optical grating construction.
See also Fig. 1 (b) and reach (c), it is the running synoptic diagram of this optical grating construction of Fig. 1 (a).When not applying voltage, reflection takes place and produces a reflected light 6 in incident light 5 on grating minute surface 4, shown in Fig. 1 (b).And when applying voltage, grating minute surface 4 is a fulcrum with structural column 2 promptly, reaches grating minute surface 4 inclinations one angle via reversing of torque arm 3, and this angle produces optics diffraction effect when taking place, make incident light 5 that diffraction take place on grating minute surface 4 and produce a diffraction light 7, shown in Fig. 1 (c).Wherein this corner is the blazing angle (blaze angle) of the formula grating that glitters.Can allow element have the high-level efficiency performance that the grating switching function also can be obtained the congenital physics of formula grating that glitters by this design.
The glitter manufacture process of formula grating of traditional little actuating can be subdivided into four parts, is realized by three light shield matching surface micro-processing technologies (Surface Micromachining).Above-mentioned four parts are respectively bottom electrode making, structural column making, grating body making and structure and discharge processing procedures such as (Release).
(a) bottom electrode is made
The making of bottom electrode, its processing procedure material are used silicon wafer of conventional semiconductors and silicon nitride, wherein with silicon wafer as lower electrode material, and select low resistance silicon wafer (resistance less than 1 Ω-cm) as bottom electrode to improve the conductive characteristic of electrode.
(b) structural column is made
Structural column is for connecting the structure of grating main body and silica-based base plate, and size is decided on the light shield design; And the decision of height is sacrificial layer thickness, is to decide on thin film deposition thickness.The height of structural column (being sacrificial layer thickness) influences the driving voltage of micro-actuator, also influences the windup-degree of grating minute surface, has also played the part of important role in the processing procedure that structure discharges, and too thin sacrifice layer will cause viscid being difficult to of structure to discharge.
The processing flow of structural column is for after bottom electrode completes, above whole silicon wafer with plasma auxiliary chemical vapor deposition (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition, PECVD) mode is grown up aluminium or copper as sacrifice layer, coat photoresistance after finishing again and form the position of structural column with the second road light shield, the photoresistance that will form structural column after the development again carries out hard baking journey between high temperature, short time.After treating between high temperature, short time that hard baking journey is finished, as the etching block cover, utilize the mode of reactive ion etching, aluminium or copper layer are etched structural column desire the shape filled up in the future, again photoresistance is removed the formation of promptly finishing structural column with photoresistance.Afterwards, the mode with low-pressure chemical vapor deposition deposits the low stress nitride silicon layer again, and previous formed structural column zone is filled up up, promptly finishes the making of structural column.
(c) grating body making
Grating main body processing procedure is the structural column that utilizes the low stress nitride silicon formation of aforementioned low-pressure chemical vapor deposition, it is the shank of grating, implement the 3rd road light shield and form the shape and the zone of grating main body, after having developed possible remaining photoresistance is removed, the good wafer that will develop again steams chromium coating and gold layer, with behind the conductive layer as the sensitive layer of adhesion layer and grating and structure respectively, again after the zone formation shaping with grating main structure and top electrode, utilize reactive ion etching, with gold as block cover, etch structures to form the main structure of grating, is promptly finished the making of grating main body to silicon oxide layer.
(d) structure discharges
The microstructure of utilizing surperficial micro-processing technology to make, last one processing procedure major part all are structure to be discharged it can be suspended.The process that discharges promptly is that sacrifice layer is removed; Because hydrofluorite all has corrosivity to many metals, so processing procedure is formerly considered all must take in as the selection of metal level.It is that component structure with good chromium layer of evaporation and gold layer is immersed in the hydrofluorite liquid and removes to carry out drawing of sacrifice layer that structure discharges, and discharges processing procedure with the structure of finishing whole element.Its etching period increases with the thickness of sacrifice layer and reduces, and increases with the size of grating main body.
Yet the glitter manufacturing method thereof of formula grating of traditional little actuating has following 3 problems:
(1) the sacrifice layer performance is undesirable
In micro electronmechanical processing procedure, aluminium often is used as sacrifice layer usefulness, and its benefit is that low price is obtained easily, for acid or alkali it can both be etched, be as the pretty good selection of sacrifice layer.Therefore also, in the time of may even developing, all can be developed liquid and corrode a little, thereby cause destruction on the reduced size because aluminium all reacts soda acid; Yet the semiconductor manufacturing is to the utmost to the use of aluminium to be ripe, the composition of developer solution has been deployed into the prescription of not etching aluminium, therefore the problem of developer solution is not the main key on this processing procedure, and key is that the etching solution that is aluminium can produce gas in the process of etching aluminium, and this gas is hydrogen.Gas can cause etched iris action, for the flat sacrifice layer inside of broad, can cause can't etching situation completely, the problem as the grating agent structure promptly faces.Another problem then is the generation of hydrogen, has the strength that one is up pushed structure open, will damage the grating main body, and is therefore unsatisfactory as the sacrifice layer of this processing procedure with aluminium.
In order to solve the air bubble problem that aluminium is produced when the etching, other has with the practice of copper as sacrifice layer.In the manufacturing of circuit board, iron chloride often is used as the etching solution of copper, but, previous grating main structure design is to be material with nickel, and iron chloride meeting etching nickel, therefore, replace iron chloride, the etch-rate that can obtain being exceedingly fast with prescription for the etching solution that every liters of water solution contains the sal-ammoniac of 80 g cupric chloride and 80 g.With copper as the benefit of sacrifice layer for not producing bubble, but its etch-rate but is difficult to control; In the processing procedure of making structural column, the etching area length respectively is that the etching period of aluminium was about about 15 minutes under the situation of 2 μ m, and the etching period of copper is about 15 ~ 20 seconds.In the so short time, we must consider the etched uniformity coefficient of copper, and actual etching result is unsatisfactory.When the pitting of structural column carve finish after, the large area region of top electrode is incomplete with etching, if the large area region etching is clean, then can cause the hole of structural column excessive, and then the length of main structure body arround feeding through to and torsion rod member.Therefore, also be less-than-ideal with copper as the sacrifice layer of this processing procedure.
(2) hard baking journey can make the photoresistance distortion between high temperature, short time
The processing procedure of structural column is formed by second light shield to process, and its process results can influence the outward appearance of structural column, also can influence the flatness of torsion rod member.The fabrication steps of structural column is utilized the mode machine-shaping of reactive ion etching for being block cover with the photoresistance with silicon oxide layer; Before carrying out etching, must earlier photoresistance just can be obtained solid block cover after roasting firmly between high temperature, short time, but, under the development of tiny area, the photoresistance distortion that high temperature caused can not be ignored, because photoresistance is when meeting high temperature, the solvent of inside can be evaporated fast, and cause the distortion of photoresistance inside, the local even more serious of water caltrop figure especially arranged, it is very slick and sly that high temperature can become the photoresistance corner, thereby form unexpected outward appearance.
(3) chromium layer and the evaporation of gold layer are bad makes hydrofluorite to corrode chromium and gold is started from structure
Handle (Multi-User MEMS Processes the multi-user, MUMPs) time that has detailed record silicon wafer to soak in hydrofluorite in the processing procedure is 1.5 ~ 2 minutes, formula grating main body belongs to the structure of wide length and little actuating is glittered, there is no the design of etch-hole for the integrality of possessing the grating minute surface, therefore, the oxide layer etching period needs 8 fens halfs at least.In carrying out etching process, gold promptly partly was suspended on the liquid level in 3 ~ 5 minutes, and this is meaning chromium and is being attacked by hydrofluorite.
(3) summary of the invention
Fundamental purpose of the present invention for propose a kind of with monox as the grating sacrifice layer, make the optical grating construction post, and form the optical grating construction method for making of the adhesion layer and the metal level of grating face in low rate evaporation mode with for a long time hard bake mode of low temperature, but not only the stationary raster structure, prevent the photoresistance distortion, also can avoid etchant that metal level is started simultaneously.

See also Fig. 3 (a) ~ (d), its structural column for the preferred embodiment of method for making of the present invention is made process flow diagram.After bottom electrode 23 completes, just be shown in whole silicon wafer top with plasma auxiliary chemical vapor deposition (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition as Fig. 3 (a), PECVD) mode about 1.5 ~ 2 μ m of one silica layer 31 thickness that grow up, coat photoresistance 32 after finishing again and form the position of structural column, shown in Fig. 3 (b) with the second road light shield.The photoresistance 32 that will form structural column after the development again carries out roasting firmly in the mode of lower temperature for a long time.Roasting firmly in mode of low temperature at this is to meet high temperature and be out of shape for fear of photoresistance 32, the distortion of photoresistance 32 will influence the shape of structural column, so temperature is set in below 90 ℃ or even about 70 ~ 80 ℃ have good effect, and the roasting firmly time is about 2 ~ 5 hours and all can.
After treating that photoresistance 32 hard roasting processes are finished, with photoresistance 32 as the etching block cover, utilize the mode of reactive ion etching, silicon oxide layer 31 is etched a plurality of grooves 33, wherein these a plurality of grooves 33 are structural column and desire the shape filled up in the future, again photoresistance 32 is removed the formation of promptly finishing structural column, shown in Fig. 3 (c).Wherein, the processing procedure of reactive ion etching silicon oxide layer 31 and silicon nitride layer 22 must be punched to silicon substrate 21, when avoiding in the future sacrifice layer being removed, the situation generation that structural column is also drawn.After finishing the formation of structural column, the mode with low-pressure chemical vapor deposition deposits low stress nitride silicon 34 thickness 1.75 μ m again, and previous formed structural column district Oak is filled up up, shown in Fig. 3 (d), promptly finishes the making of structural column 35.
Main material as for the grating main body is the low stress nitride silicon of low-pressure chemical vapor deposition, select its main material reason to have two as the grating main body, the first is in order to reduce the internal stress that structure itself exists, internal stress then can cause the warpage of grating agent structure too greatly, and the structure warpage is with the glitter optical characteristics of formula grating of influence; Another then is non-conductive, because structural column 35 is to be connected with the grating main body, and structural column 35 is connected with the silicon substrate 21 that low resistance promptly has conductive characteristic, in order to prevent the short circuit of upper/lower electrode, so select the agent structure material of dielectric low stress nitride silicon as grating.Its processing procedure partly can be by Fig. 4 (a) ~ (d) expression, and it is the grating body making process flow diagram of the preferred embodiment of method for making of the present invention.Earlier shown in Fig. 4 (a), utilize the 3rd road light shield to form the shape and the zone of grating main body, after having developed hard a little the baking of photoresistance 41 got final product, as aforementioned, for the chance thermal deformation that prevents photoresistance 41 and in the future the lift-off processing procedure smoothly, the parameter of this firmly roasting program is 90 ℃ of temperature, in 10 minutes.In addition, can develop fully when developing totally increasing the adhesion of depositing metal layers in the future in order to ensure photoresistance 41, the photoresistance 41 after we will develop passes to mode about 15 seconds of pure oxygen with possible remaining photoresistance removal with the mode utilization of reactive ion etching.After finishing this step, the good wafer that will develop again carries out evaporation, and the part of wherein having developed can obtain and good being connected of metal, and still undeveloped photoresistance partly can be used as the block cover of evaporation metal.
In the deposition of metal level, shown in Fig. 4 (b), steam chromium coating 42 thickness earlier and be about 150 as adhesion layer, again behind the conductive layer of evaporation one gold medal layer 43 thickness 1500A as the sensitive layer of grating and structure, utilize the processing procedure of take off (lift-off) for another example shown in Fig. 4 (c), with the zone formation shaping of grating main structure and top electrode (promptly the gold layer 43).After Lift-off finishes, utilize reactive ion etching, as block cover, etch structures is to silicon oxide layer 31, to form the main structure of grating, shown in Fig. 4 (d) with gold layer 43.
At last, the microstructure of utilizing surperficial micro-processing technology to make, last one processing procedure major part all are structure to be discharged (release) it can be suspended.The process that discharges promptly is that sacrifice layer is removed; Therefore in the present invention, the sacrifice layer of little actuating grating is a monox, and the method that silicon oxide layer is removed can be divided into two kinds of dry type and wet types.Dry type is carried out etching for utilizing hydrofluoric acid gas or plasma, and wet type is to utilize hydrofluoric acid solution to carry out, and Wet-type etching method described later is that less expensive reaches the method that generally is used.
Before carrying out structure release processing procedure, we can be earlier with reference to employed structure delivery mode in MUMPs (Multi-User MEMSProcesses) processing procedure.Because hydrofluorite all has corrosivity to many metals, so processing procedure is formerly considered all must take in as the selection of metal level.In the MUMPs processing procedure, last one processing procedure before structure discharges is for getting on chromium and gold with lift-off mode evaporation, wherein chromium is used as adhesion layer, gold is used as the favorable conductive layer, after finishing element is immersed in the release work of carrying out structure in the hydrofluorite liquid in 1.5 to 2 minutes, then be soaked in again in the deionized water several minutes, and be immersed in again at last in the alcohol, in the mode of high temperature with liquid evaporation.From the processing procedure of MUMPs, we can obtain a conclusion and are exactly, and the collocation of chromium and gold is one well to be selected, and therefore, in the processing procedure of formula grating was glittered in little actuating of the present invention, the metal of institute's evaporation was chromium and gold on the grating main body.Gold also is used as top electrode conduction usefulness except keeping out the corrosion of hydrofluorite as adhesion layer among the present invention, in addition, and still as the important materials of the sensitive surface of grating.
