The invention relates to a kind of MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) (Microelectromechanical System, MEMS), more definite says, be a kind of MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) of measuring the carrier angular speed (Microelectromechanical System, MEMS).
With reference to Fig. 1, system of the present invention comprises angular speed sensor unit 10, central circuit 20, with digital information processing system 30, it is made into a chip, with combining of face micromachined macromolecule silicon layer and integrated circuit (IC) technology, in order to obtain high precision under dynamic environment, high sensitive, stable angular velocity rate is measured.The present invention measure the carrier angular speed MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) (Microelectromechanical System MEMS) comprises:

The angular rate sensor unit is a micromachined sensor unit.Say on the principle, the present invention can with utilize kinetic theory, the MEMS technology of Ge Shi (CORIOLIS) effect combines.When angular speed is applied on the object of a translation motion, promptly can be observed Coriolis effect and produce coriolis force.This operation logic and structure depend on the tuning fork of using the closed loop capacitance-sensitive.
MEMS of the present invention comes measured angular speed by detecting one because little crudy of vibration departs from the signal that its plane of oscillation produces.When little crudy of vibration is subjected to one during perpendicular to its rotary action of the plane of oscillation, under the right coriolis force effect, little crudy of vibration departs from its plane of oscillation.
With reference to Fig. 2, it has illustrated the structure of little processed sensor unit.
Little processed sensor unit 10 is made up of two opposite vibrating elementss of vibrational motion.Form a pair of difference measurement, to eliminate because the perturbed force that gravitational effect and acceleration cause.Responsive quality is hung by eight semi-girders, and it also provides elastic force for vibration simultaneously.
Two vibration sensing quality are connected together by spring, and the static material around being connected in.The vibration sensing quality is driven in two opposite directions by the static comb drive motor, to keep the internal vibration of plane, limit.Oscillating movement is in the wafer plane.When imposing angular speed for the MEMS device, the coriolis force that Coriolis effect produces causes the out-of-plane vibration of responsive quality to (it is in the fork plane) at input shaft.The motion amplitude of the up-down vibration that produces is proportional to input angle speed, is in electric capacity under the responsive quality and detects plate and detect and measure.Drive the responsive quality of comb driving and do anti-phase motion mutually.Therefore also direction is opposite to the response of coriolis force for responsive quality.
Circuit detects this vertical movement by the electric charge in the Measurement of capacitor.The amplitude of oscillating movement is depended in the sensitivity of device, vibration frequency, the quality of device, and detection method.The sensitivity of device is directly proportional with the product of angular speed with component speeds.Maximization motion amplitude and vibration frequency can improve sensitivity.
For increasing Oscillation Amplitude, element moves on the resonance frequency of supporting spring.This also makes the required energy minimum of driving element.If the vertical movement meeting of resonance frequency very high (hard spring) element reduces.Typical resonance frequency is 1000 hertz to 3000 hertz.If oscillating movement is not real linear, can in element, cause error.
Determine from the electric current that a high-frequency signal (100 KHz are to 1 megahertz) flows through by measurement by the capacitance variations that the mass motion corresponding to coriolis force causes.The size of electric capacity is at the 0.5pf order of magnitude, and the size of electric charge is at the 1ff order of magnitude in the electric capacity.In order to reach the highest sensitivity, in design of the present invention, arrange electronic circuit as much as possible near the electrode that detects of element.In MEMS of the present invention, by electronic circuit and little processed sensor unit are integrated on the chip, or place electronic circuit to such an extent that be positioned as close to sensor and reach this design.Electronic circuit on the chip can detect the motion change of the dust order of magnitude.
With reference to Fig. 2, little processed sensor unit 10 comprises:
1. two responsive quality 101, it is connected in eight anchor points 102 by cantilever spring, drives by three and produces vibration to detect coriolis force.
2. eight anchor points 102, the both sides that it is distributed in two responsive quality are connected in silica-based and support responsive quality by cantilever spring.
3. big anchor pad 103, it is connected in silica-based, and is connected in the vibration of four anchor points 102 to improve and to stablize two responsive quality by cantilever spring.
4. two grapnel pads 104, it is connected in silica-based, and is connected in the vibration of four anchor points 102 to improve and to stablize two responsive quality 101 by cantilever spring.
5. three stators 105, it is connected in silica-based, and drives two responsive quality 101 by comb driver 106.
When angular speed is applied in the angular speed input shaft of little processed sensor unit, can be responsive to the capacitance signal that changes.
With reference to Fig. 3, little processed sensor cellular construction has formed six capacitors altogether.Wherein, four capacitors are formed by two responsive quality and three stators, drive comb for vibratory drive mechanism has constructed four pairs.Two capacitors are formed by two pairs of responsive quality and sensor electrode.When on the input axis of gyro angular speed being arranged, under the effect of coriolis force, a responsive quality moves to electrode, and another responsive quality is left electrode.Therefore, these two capacitors can be used and be formed a difference measurement circuit.
There are two kinds of technology to be used for making the MEMS device at present; Little processing of body and the little processing of face.MEMS manufacture method preferred for this invention is the face micro fabrication.The typical thickness of the little machine component of face is several to ten microns.The angular rate sensor that is produced by the face processing technology has very little quality.The advantage of face processing is low-cost and is easy to electronic circuit and is integrated into sensor nearby.
In the face micro fabrication, make sensor element on the surface of silicon chip.For the little processed sensor of making face, the oxidation sacrifice layer of several micron thickness is deposited on the passivation layer of a silicon chip, therein N +The ion well is disperseed in advance.Then, in basic unit, carve opening to the dispersion area by two insulators.Next step, macromolecule silicon layer of deposition is filled out opening, with N on the whole sensor zone +The dispersion area is set up machinery and is electrically connected.Sensitive element then is carved into unsteady macromolecule silicon layer.Next step by further photoetching, removes the oxidation sacrifice layer under the macromolecule silicon, allows the macromolecule silicon layer be suspended in basically in the air, but the while also is connected in basic unit by anchor post or the anchorage that forms on spaced point.
The little processing of face is since a silicon sheet material.In the little processing of face, silicon chip is a basic unit, and promptly workplace thereon, deposits and a plurality of different structural sheets of photoetching and sacrificial material layer.When a typical face micro fabrication process began, at surface deposition one deck expendable material, its final step in manufacture craft can be removed fully, or at surface deposition one deck structured material, it is used to construct the functional part of MEMS.This sedimentary deposit is then covered by the template of a desired shape, and it typically is transformed by the photomechanical production process, usually the exposure of photochromics and expose the development of photoresistance to the open air.Next step is not capped subsurface material that template protects and is carved and remove, and typically is converted into specified material layer by retroaction ion etching covering template.This deposition-covering-Ke removes on the structure of a plurality of interlayers of cyclic process and the sacrifice layer and can repeat repeatedly, finishes up to the MEMS angular rate sensor.The micro-machined final step of face is below removing and expendable material releasing structure material from interlayer on every side.
The little process of the most frequently used face begins from a slice and the silicon chip identical type and the grade silicon chip that are used in the microelectronics manufacturing, makes expendable material with silicon dioxide layer, uses macromolecule silicon, a kind of deposition, the silicon of weak crystal form is as structured material.Other deposition materials, silicon nitride for example, high molecular synthetic material and Lu also are used to provide insulating material, conductive material, corrosion covers and other structured materials.All these materials are widely used in the microelectronics manufacture of standard, are easy to obtain.
Because sandwich construction, sacrificial material layer, with the corrosion of material with a kind of to the insensitive PROCESS FOR TREATMENT of crystal structure, perhaps because material itself is noncrystal, the face micro fabrication makes makes arbitrary shape, integrated MEMS structure complicated and multicomponent becomes possibility, separates the deviser who emits MEMS and goes conception and make body processing technology irrealizable device of institute and the system of using.The face micro fabrication can make the deviser of processing technology and device can freely select any the have complementary structure and the material system of expendable material.This just to making the material of device and system, geometric configuration, assembling and interconnect all hard-core freedom is that MEMS is abundant and in depth be applied to the source in so many field.
The subject matter of angular rate sensor is the motion reliably that makes responsive quality.Not resembling accelerometer is a kind of passive device, and rate sensor is a kind of active sensor.All execution actions realize by electrostatic force.This power is very faint, and the motion of responsive quality is easy to be prevented from.Dust or element cleaning is improper all can to cause problem.The making of face processing device is by isolate all moving components with sacrifical oxide.The final step of manufacture craft is the removal of these oxides.In case oxide is removed, the corrosion solvent must be removed by water fully, removes water with alcohol again.Then remove alcohol with the method for dry device.If the removing of solvent is improper, viscous then takes place, stop the motion of element, make component failure.Device also is subject to squeeze the influence of film effect.When device moved in air, the motion of element can be trapped in wherein that irremovable air stops.These devices encapsulate in a vacuum.The air remover is used to encapsulate to keep the quality of vacuum.The application of vacuum can reduce the shock resistance of device.Air damping strengthens shock resistance.
Fig. 4 has shown MEMS angular rate sensor encapsulation figure of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 5, it is one the three little process of floor height molecule silicon face.This process has the general characteristic of the little process of face of standard: 1 macromolecule silicon is as structured material, and 2 deposition oxides (PSG) are as sacrifice layer, and silicon nitride is as the electric insulation between macromolecule silicon and the basic unit.Different with the little process of most of specific side is that it is general as far as possible that this process is designed to be, and have the ability to support on a silicon chip different designs.Because this process is not optimized to make any particular device, the thickness of structural sheet and sacrifice layer selects to be suitable for most of users, and conservatively the selective interconnection design rule is to guarantee high as far as possible output.
