Description

A kind of capacitance type fingerprint sensor and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention system especially can antistatic destruction reach anti-residual dirty capacitance type fingerprint sensor and the manufacture method of disturbing thereof about a kind of about a kind of capacitance type fingerprint sensor and manufacture method thereof.
Background technology
Existing fingerprint reading method can utilize the finger presses that speckles with ink on paper, utilizes optical scanner to scan this paper so that fingerprint is imported in the computer again, then with data bank in fingerprint graph comparison.Yet therefore the disadvantage of said method can't satisfy the demand of more and more instant authentications for reaching the purpose of instant processing, for example: the networking authentication, ecommerce, portable electric product is maintained secrecy, IC-card personal identification, safety system or the like.
Instant fingerprint reading method just becomes the gordian technique in the biological identification market.Traditionally, can use the optical fingerprint sensor to read fingerprint immediately, yet it have the too huge shortcoming of volume.
For this reason, the chip-type fingerprint sensing device that utilizes silicon semiconductor in response to and give birth to, overcome the shortcoming of above-mentioned optical profile type sensor.Based on the consideration of silicon integrated circuit processing procedure, the capacitance type fingerprint sensor becomes the most direct and simple method.
On the structure, the capacitance type fingerprint sensor comprises a plurality of capacitance type sensing unit to be arranged with array way, during the sensing unit outside the finger contact is exposed to surperficial, and the capacitance curve that just can sensing finger line peak stays.Because the most of area of sensor all needs to be exposed to the external world, any close electrified body all may cause wherein short circuit or permanent damages.For this reason, the antistatic treatment on sensor surface just seems especially important.And also to take into account and prevent residual dirty disturbing effect image quality.
The method that prevents electrostatic breakdown of fingerprint sensing device sees also people's such as Tartagni the 6th, 114, No. 862 bulletins of United States Patent (USP) and Thomas at United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 515, No. 488 bulletins.
See also Fig. 1 to 3, above-mentioned electrostatic breakdown prevents that method system from utilizing and surrounds each capacitance type sensing unit and be exposed to outer tungsten wire netting 113 and be connected to earth terminal that will be directed at earth terminal near the static of object, this kind design can effectively solve electrostatic breakdown.The other problems yet the formation method of this tungsten wire netting 113 and design but can be derived.Plate electrode 112 all is positioned on the substrate 110 with tungsten wire netting 113, but is positioned at different height, and is to be formed in different manufacturing steps by different materials.In the deposition of tungsten metal and follow-up etchback step, form many small holes 108 on the protective seam 111 on sensor surface and cause defective, and problem such as can cause that stress is concentrated.When pointing the outside surface 109 of the careless shock sensor of nail, the destruction that can cause sensor.Moreover the structure of small hole 108 can make the protective seam surface form water wettability, therefore can spread when the moisture of finger contacts outside surface 109, and then make the image quality variation.For this reason, Thomas proposes by the deposition of monox 107 and follow-up cmp (CMP) processing procedure monox 107 to be filled up aforesaid small holes 108 and to reach smooth outside surface 109.Yet this measure makes the manufacture process too complex again, and is not suitable for the manufacturing course of general commercial wafer fab.
Again, above-mentioned derives from technology goes out to point the problem of residual dirty interference images quality.As shown in Figure 2, when pointing 1 (being considered as a virtual ground end) when touching the outside surface 109 of sensor, line peak 11 and plate electrode 112 formed inductance capacitance values are greater than line paddy 12 and plate electrode 112 formed inductance capacitance values.The static of finger 1 can discharge by tungsten wire netting 113, and the tungsten wire netting 113 that this kind is exposed fully will make residual dirty 114 ground connection from finger, form residual dirty electric capacity 115 indirectly and the interference images quality, as shown in Figure 3.

When pointing near sensor, static can flow to earth terminal GND from first opening 27 via wire netting 23.In present embodiment, the optimization space D of two adjacent static discharge unit 24 is 500 to 1000 microns.
The enlarged diagram of the weld pad of Fig. 7 displayed map 6.The enlarged diagram of the discharge cell of Fig. 8 displayed map 6.Shown in Fig. 7 and 8, aluminum metal lamination 30 comprises a titanium layer 51 that is positioned on this substrate 21, is positioned at the aluminium alloy layer 52 on this titanium layer 51, and is positioned at the titanium nitride layer 53 on this aluminium alloy layer 52.Aluminium alloy layer 52 is to be exposed by this first opening 27 respectively.Each weld pad 25 comprises a titanium layer 51 that is positioned on this substrate 21, an aluminium alloy layer 52 that is positioned on this titanium layer 51 and exposes by this second opening 28 respectively, and be positioned on this aluminium alloy layer 52 and around one of this second opening 28 titanium nitride layer 53 respectively.It should be noted that, because the characteristic of the etch process of following explanation, make an interior thickness T1 of this titanium nitride layer 53 in this first opening 27 respectively less than a peripheral thickness T2 of this titanium nitride layer 53, the titanium nitride layer 53 of this second opening 28 can be removed in fact fully and be arranged in respectively.
Fig. 9 shows the schematic top plan view according to the capacitance type fingerprint sensor of second embodiment of the invention.The sensor system of Fig. 9 is similar with Fig. 5, and difference is that respectively this static discharge unit 24 of Fig. 9 is only adjacent with two sacrificial electrode 22S.That is two adjacent plate electrodes 22 respectively sacrifice a zone and use for static discharge unit 24.
Figure 10 shows the schematic top plan view according to the capacitance type fingerprint sensor of third embodiment of the invention.The sensor system of Figure 10 is similar with Fig. 5, and difference is that respectively this static discharge unit 24 of Figure 10 is only adjacent with four sacrificial electrode 22S.That is four adjacent plate electrodes 22 respectively sacrifice a zone and use for static discharge unit 24.
Figure 11 A and 11B show the sensing result of capacitance type fingerprint sensor of the present invention in the front and back that are applied in static respectively.The test condition that the present invention adopts is the static that respectively applies 10 times ± 20KV under the air mode (air mode), and spacing frequency is 1 second.Shown in Figure 11 A and 11B, the sensing result of two figure does not have significantly destruction relatively down, and the expression sensor still can normal operation.Therefore, the Electrostatic Discharge protective capacities of fingerprint sensing device of the present invention can reach more than the 20KV, and the internal circuit of sensor can not be damaged.
Figure 12 A to 12E shows the manufacturing step of capacitance type fingerprint sensor of the present invention respectively.
Referring to Figure 12 A, at first include on the silicon substrate 21 of integrated circuit and form one metal laminated 50 in one.
Then, see also Figure 12 B, metal laminated 50 of part is removed, to form a plurality of plate electrodes 22, a wire netting 23, a plurality of static discharges unit 24, to reach a plurality of weld pads 25.The structure of said elements and mutual relation are illustrated in, and no longer describe in detail in this.
Then, see also Figure 12 C, in this metal laminated 50 with this substrate 21 on the deposition one protective seam 26.In the present embodiment, protective seam 26 structures have comprised the lamination of an one silica layer and a silicon nitride layer.So, can in this metal laminated 50 with this substrate 21 on deposit one silica layer, then on this silicon oxide layer the deposition one silicon nitride layer.
Then, see also Figure 12 D, on this protective seam 26, form a photoresist layer 40; Afterwards, form a plurality of first windows 41 and a plurality of second window 42, so that this protective seam 26 exposes with described a plurality of second windows 42 from described a plurality of first windows 41 in this photoresist layer 40.
Then; see also Figure 12 E; this protective seam 26 that exposes is carried out dry-etching; a plurality of second openings 28 that correspond to a plurality of first openings 27 of described a plurality of first windows 41 and correspond to described a plurality of second windows 42 with formation; and described a plurality of weld pad 25 is exposed by described a plurality of second openings 28; described a plurality of static discharges unit 24 is exposed by described a plurality of first openings 27, and respectively the size of this first opening 27 is much smaller than the size of this second opening 28 respectively.In this dry ecthing procedure, when removing this titanium nitride layer 53 that is arranged in described a plurality of second openings 28 fully, can remove the some of this titanium nitride layer 53 that is arranged in described a plurality of first openings 27, so that an interior thickness T1 of this titanium nitride layer 53 in this first opening 27 respectively is less than a peripheral thickness T2 of this titanium nitride layer 53, as shown in Figure 8.It should be noted that this protective seam 26 more can comprise above-mentioned high rigidity layer, is positioned on this titanium nitride layer 53.Under this situation, it is the part of protective seam 26 that the high rigidity layer can be considered as.
Then, this photoresist layer 40 is removed, to form structure as shown in Figure 6.
By above-mentioned structure and method, because wire netting 23 is to design in protective seam 26 belows, so can not be exposed in the etching environment again after protective seam 26 depositions are finished.Even the process forming opening 27 and 28 also has the protection of photoresist layer 40, so do not have any impaired above the protective seam 26.By this, the surface of protective seam 26 just can be just like the small hole of known techniques, causes easily that stress is concentrated, surface hydrophilicity, ESD destroy, improper use damages, and the situation of residual dirty interference images.
In addition, first opening 27 that uses for static discharge unit 24 is to be to design in same light shield with second opening 28 for weld pad 25 uses, but its size then has quite big gap.For example, the size of first opening 27 is generally 5 to 10 microns, and the size of second opening 28 is generally 100 to 150 microns.So so in the process that opening forms, not only can remove protective seam 26 fully and form second opening 28, uppermost titanium nitride layer 53 can also be removed fully and aluminium alloy layer 52 is exposed fully, in order to follow-up routing action.Haveing the knack of this skill person should understand easily, and forming the employed dry-etching mode of opening all has load effect (loading effect), that is to say that opening smaller etching speed is slower.The present invention utilizes this characteristic, by the keyholed back plate of time, is kept the titanium nitride layer 53 (thickness is about 0.1 micron) of the part in first opening 27.Because titanium nitride layer 53 is difficult for oxidation, and is corrosion-resistant, be fit to long-term the use, be fit to be exposed in the air.So, just can use and avoid electrostatic breakdown near the static of the object of sensor by first opening 27, titanium nitride layer 53 and aluminium alloy layer 52 line conductings to earth terminal.
Above-mentioned process design does not need to use the aforementioned prior art with high complexity fully, and can utilize commerce to make sensor of the present invention with the normal process and the material of integrated circuit factory fully.
Advantage of the present invention not only is the ESD protective capacities, only utilize simultaneously the minority static discharge unit of long spacing just can finish the ESD protection, even after using residual dirt is arranged, most of residual dirt also is independently, be not connected, reduced many residual dirty electric capacity interference that image caused with wire netting 23.
The specific embodiment that is proposed in the detailed description of preferred embodiment is only in order to convenient explanation technology contents of the present invention, but not with narrow sense of the present invention be limited to the foregoing description, not exceeding the many variations enforcement that spirit of the present invention is done, all belong to scope of the present invention.
