Background
A thermopile sensor includes a plurality of thermally sensitive elements combined into a thermoelectric array or thermopile. Thermopile sensors determine physical temperature or gas concentration by monitoring infrared radiation of an object. When the thermosensitive element receives infrared radiation radiated by an object, the hot end and the cold end of the thermosensitive element generate heat difference, and the voltage output by the thermopile sensor changes based on the Seebeck principle. In the era of MEMS sensors, hundreds of thermocouples can be processed in a tiny space by an advanced semiconductor process to construct an infrared thermopile sensor. With MEMS technology, infrared thermopile sensors become very small in size. Moreover, the sensitivity, the response time and other performances of the sensor are greatly improved.
Most of the existing thermopile sensors adopt metal TO packaging or large-size surface mount type packaging, and no matter the metal TO packaging structure or the large-size surface mount type packaging structure, the thermopile sensitive chip and the tube seat are connected in a lead binding mode. Wire bonding is one of the main interconnection technologies in packaging, and is mainly used for low-cost traditional packaging, middle-grade packaging, memory chip stacking and the like; wire bonders are capable of stitching one chip to another chip or substrate using extremely fine wires, such as gold or copper wires. Wire bonding techniques have undergone many years of remodeling and remain the mainstay of packaging.

Detection signals acquired by the thermopile sensitive chips of the three detection channels are directly transmitted to the internal conductive bump at the top of the detection cavity through the electrode bonding pad, namely, the signal transmission distance between the thermopile sensitive chip and the sensor assembling shell is shortened, the resistance is reduced, and the detection precision of the three-channel leadless thermopile sensor is improved.
Further, the three filters may be different types of filters, or three filters of the same type. If the three filters have different center wavelengths, for example, one type of filter is capable of passing infrared light with a wavelength range of 7 to 10 μm and is suitable for detection of human infrared radiation, the other type of filter is capable of passing infrared light with a wavelength range of 7 to 18 μm and is suitable for detection of infrared wavelengths in a wider range, and the other type of filter is capable of passing near infrared light; the three-channel leadless thermopile sensor can detect different types of infrared light, and the application range of the leadless thermopile sensor is greatly expanded; if the three filters of the same type adopt the filters with the same central wavelength, when the infrared light of the same type is detected, signals detected by the other two channels are used as auxiliary signals, so that the detection precision of the leadless thermopile sensor can be greatly improved.
To facilitate the assembly of a three-channel leadless thermopile sensor, this example shows an embodiment of a thermopile sensor chip, as shown in fig. 9.
In this embodiment, the thermopile sensing chip includes a silicon substrate, three groups of thermocouple arrays, a temperature measuring element, and the like; a back cavity is formed in the bottom of the silicon substrate, and a supporting layer and a dielectric layer are arranged on the top of the silicon substrate; three groups of thermocouple arrays 202 are arranged on the dielectric layer; the thermocouple array comprises 50-300 groups of thermocouple pairs connected in series; the temperature measuring element 204 is positioned on the dielectric layer and is arranged on the cold end side of the thermocouple array; the electrode bonding pads of the thermopile sensitive chip comprise three groups of sensitive electrode bonding pads and a group of temperature measuring electrode bonding pads.
The sensitive electrode pads are positioned on the dielectric layers at two ends of the thermocouple array and are arranged below the corresponding internal conductive bumps; the sensitive electrode bonding pads comprise positive bonding pads and negative bonding pads and are used for respectively connecting the thermocouple array and the internal conductive bumps of the sensor assembling shell; the temperature measuring electrode pads are positioned on the dielectric layers at two ends of the temperature measuring element and are arranged below the corresponding internal conductive bumps; the temperature measuring electrode pad comprises an anode pad and a cathode pad which are used for respectively connecting the temperature measuring element and the internal conductive bump of the sensor assembling shell.
It should be noted that three independent thermopile sensitive chips are mostly adopted in the three-channel thermopile sensor in the prior art, but three independent thermopile sensitive chips need three lead operations during assembly, which not only increases the complexity of the production process, but also makes the volume of the three-channel thermopile sensor too large; the novel thermopile sensitive chip provided by the embodiment is specially designed for a three-channel leadless thermopile sensor, and can be completed only by one-time assembly process after conducting glue is applied to an internal conducting lug at the top of a detection cavity through a glue dispensing process point; meanwhile, the probability of three-channel thermopile sensor defective products caused by lead welding misoperation is reduced, and the finished product qualification rate of the leadless thermopile sensor is improved.
Example 6
This example presents a specific implementation of a four-channel leadless thermopile sensor.
In the four-channel leadless thermopile sensor: the top of the detection cavity of the sensor assembling shell is provided with four windows 104 for mounting the optical filters 4, and the four optical filters 4 are correspondingly attached in the windows 104; ten internal conductive bumps 103 for electrically connecting the thermopile sensitive chip are arranged at the top of the detection cavity, and ten external pins 102 for outputting detection signals are arranged on the outer wall of the sensor assembling shell 1; four groups of thermocouple arrays 202, four groups of sensitive electrode pads, one temperature measuring element 204 and one group of temperature measuring electrode pads are arranged on the dielectric layer of the thermopile sensitive chip; wherein, a thermocouple array and a filter are arranged up and down correspondingly; each group of thermocouple arrays 202 is electrically connected with the internal conductive bump 103 at the top of the detection cavity through the corresponding sensitive electrode pad to form a detection channel; the temperature measuring element 204 is electrically connected with the internal conductive bump at the top of the detection cavity through the temperature measuring electrode pad.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, four filters, four sets of thermocouple arrays and four sets of sensitive electrode pads form four detection channels; on the premise of reducing the size of the thermopile sensor and improving the vibration resistance, the four-channel leadless thermopile sensor with smaller size is realized. Detection signals acquired by the thermopile sensitive chips of the four detection channels are directly transmitted to the internal conductive bumps at the top of the detection cavity through the electrode bonding pads, namely, the signal transmission distance between the thermopile sensitive chips and the sensor assembling shell is shortened, the resistance is reduced, and the detection precision of the four-channel leadless thermopile sensor is improved.
Further, the four filters may be different types of filters, or two filters of the same type. If the four filters have different center wavelengths, for example, one type of the filters is infrared light with a wavelength ranging from 7 to 10 μm, which is suitable for the detection of human infrared radiation, and the other type of the filters is infrared light with a wavelength ranging from 7 to 18 μm, which is suitable for the detection of infrared wavelengths in a wider range, and the other type of the filters is near infrared light; the four-channel leadless thermopile sensor can detect different types of infrared light, and the application range of the leadless thermopile sensor is greatly expanded; if the two filters of the same type adopt the filters with the same central wavelength, when the infrared light of the same type is detected, the signal detected by the other channel is used as an auxiliary signal, so that the detection precision of the leadless thermopile sensor can be greatly improved.
