Detailed Description
At least some embodiments may provide a MEMS vibration sensor die (die). The die may include a substrate having a top portion, a mounting surface, and a hole extending at least partially through the substrate. The die may include a first electrode coupled to a top portion of the substrate and disposed over the aperture. The die may include a second electrode disposed between the substrate and the first electrode. The second electrode may be spaced apart from the first electrode. The die may include a proof mass (proof mass). The proof mass may have a first portion coupled to the first electrode or the second electrode. The proof mass may have a second end opposite the first portion. The second end may be recessed within the aperture relative to the mounting surface of the substrate. The proof mass may be freely suspended within the bore. A proof mass may move the first or second electrodes in response to the vibration, the proof mass being suspended from the first or second electrodes. In some implementations, the die includes a semiconductor material and is fabricated using a photolithographic process known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
At least some embodiments may provide robustness of the vibration sensor. For example, in the event that the sensor is shocked by an impact, a proof mass in the vibrating sensor may be defined to prevent cracking of electrodes such as a polysilicon diaphragm. For example, a vibration sensor may include a relatively large proof mass coupled to a diaphragm, and certain forces may damage the diaphragm or proof mass. Also, the greater deflection may cause the diaphragm to collide with the backplate and/or damage the diaphragm, backplate, or a connector (runner) connecting the diaphragm to the substrate. Thus, in at least some implementations, the die may be configured to reduce or eliminate the possibility of damage.
For example, at least some embodiments may provide structures added to the proof mass and/or the substrate to physically limit vertical or lateral travel of the proof mass to a range that will not cause damage. This may provide shock robustness of the vibration sensor, which may also be used as an accelerometer. In at least some embodiments, the proof mass may be recessed relative to the mounting surface of the die to prevent damage during fabrication and separation of the die from the wafer and during assembly of the die onto the base or substrate of the sensor package.
Referring to the different possible implementations shown in fig. 1-7, a MEMS vibrating sensor die 100 may include a substrate 110 and a proof mass 130. Die 100 may include and/or may be formed from the following materials: a plurality of substrates, one or more dielectric layers, one or more metal layers, one or more semiconductors, one or more material layers forming a substrate, and/or other materials.
Referring to the different possible embodiments shown in fig. 1, 3, 5 and 7, the die 100 may comprise a first electrode 121 and a second electrode 122, at least one of the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 moving relative to the other during operation. The moving electrode may be the first electrode or the second electrode, and may be a free plate type or a constrained plate type. According to one possible implementation, the first electrode 121 may be a back plate and the second electrode 122 may be a diaphragm. The substrate 110 may also include a hole 116 extending at least partially through the substrate.
Referring to the different possible embodiments shown in fig. 1, 3, and 5, the substrate 110 may have a top portion 112, a mounting surface 114, and a hole 116 extending at least partially through the substrate 110. The first electrode 121 may be coupled to the top portion 112 of the substrate 110 and disposed over the aperture 116. The second electrode 122 may be disposed between the substrate 110 and the first electrode 121. The second electrode 122 may be spaced apart from the first electrode 121.
Referring to a possible embodiment of fig. 1, the second end 132 may be recessed within the aperture 116 relative to the mounting surface 114 of the substrate 110. According to one possible implementation, the height of the proof mass 130 may be etched back so that the proof mass is recessed relative to the substrate 110. In one implementation, the height of proof mass 130 may be reduced 134 by an amount between 10um to at least 50 um. In other implementations, the degree to which the proof mass is recessed may vary depending on the dimensions of the proof mass and other portions of the die, the specified range of motion of the proof mass, the intended use, and the like.
According to one aspect of the disclosure, the die may include lateral support members adjacent the proof mass, wherein the lateral support members limit movement of the proof mass in a direction that is non-parallel to a direction of movement of the first or second electrodes to which the proof mass is coupled. Reference is made to a possible embodiment of fig. 2 to 5, which is part of a substrate. The lateral support member 210 may be part of the base plate 110. Alternatively, the lateral support member may be another member located between the substrate and the proof mass, or a fixed member around which the proof mass is arranged. The spacing between proof mass 130 and lateral support members 210 may be such that lateral support members 210 may prevent proof mass 130 from breaking. The particular size of the spacing may depend on the size of the proof mass and other portions of the die, the specified range of motion, the intended use, etc.
According to a possible embodiment, the die 100 may comprise a plurality of protrusions 220. The plurality of protrusions 220 may extend from the substrate 110 toward the proof mass 130 as shown in fig. 4 and 5, or from the proof mass 130 toward the substrate 110 as shown in fig. 2 and 3. Lateral support members 210 may be a portion of substrate 110 from which projections 220 extend, or a portion of substrate 110 towards which projections 220 extend from proof mass 130. For example, figures 2 and 3 illustrate protrusions 220 extending from the proof-mass 130 towards the substrate 110, according to a possible embodiment. As another example embodiment, fig. 4 and 5 illustrate protrusions 220 extending from the substrate 110 toward the proof-mass 130. The protrusion 220 may be a fin, a post, a cup, any other protrusion shape, depending on possible implementations. The projections 220 may be sized to minimize added mass, maintain sensitivity, and/or reduce lateral travel, such as less than 15 um.
According to possible embodiments, the proof-mass 130 may have a hollow portion 230, and the substrate 110 may substantially surround the proof-mass 130. Proof mass 130 and substrate 110 may have any substantially complementary shape. According to possible implementations, the lateral support members may be inside the hollow portion 230 of the proof-mass 130.
Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional side view of a vibration sensor assembly 600 including the vibration sensor die 100 of fig. 1, according to a possible implementation. The die 100 may include at least one rigid post 610 protruding from the mounting surface 114 of the substrate 110. The post 610 may be integrally formed with the substrate 110. The pillars may also be integrally formed with the base portion 710 or may be separate from the substrate 110 and the base portion 710. According to possible embodiments, the posts 610 may reduce variations in the thickness of a die attachment, such as the adhesive 630, that may couple the substrate 110 to the base portion 710. The at least one rigid post 610 may be embedded in the adhesive 630 and disposed between the mounting surface 114 and the base portion 710 of the substrate 110. The pillars are shown to have a uniform cross-section, but they may have other shapes (e.g., pyramidal, tetrahedral, etc.) suitable for use in MEMS die fabrication processes.
According to a possible embodiment, the die 100 may be combined with a MEMS sensor housing 700, the MEMS sensor housing 700 comprising a lid or cover mounted on a base portion 710. The mounting surface 114 of the substrate 110 may be mounted on the base portion 710, such as via an adhesive 630, and the aperture 116 may extend completely through the substrate 110. Proof mass 130 may be disposed in aperture 116 between base portion 710 and first electrode 121. According to a possible embodiment, the housing 700 may further comprise a plurality of covers 720.
According to a possible embodiment, the die 100 may include a displacement limiting support member 620 that may be coupled to the base portion 710. The displacement limiting support member 620 may be integral with the die 100, such as by being part of the substrate 110. For example, the displacement limiting support member 620 may be fabricated by bonding two separate dies (such as by a die bonding process) after etching the desired structure. According to possible implementations, the displacement limiting support member 620 may be coupled to the base plate 110. Displacement limiting support members 620 may be located below proof mass 130 and spaced apart from proof mass 130. The displacement limiting support members 620 may limit displacement of the proof-mass 130 in a direction of movement of the first electrodes 121 and/or the second electrodes 122 to which the proof-mass 130 is coupled.
According to possible implementations, the displacement limiting support member 620 may be separate from the die 100. For example, the displacement limiting support member 620 may be a copper pillar (pilar), may be a silicon pillar, may be a glass pillar, may be made of the same material as the base portion 710, or may be made of any other material. According to possible implementations, the height of the displacement limiting support member 620 may be greater than the height of the post 610.
