Description

Electronic equipment
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to microelectromechanical devices and processes for fabricating microelectromechanical devices.
Background
It is well known that some microelectromechanical devices are particularly sensitive to stress, which may lead to deformations, even very small deformations. For example, different membrane sensors and transducers, such as pressure sensors and electroacoustic transducers, are affected by mechanical stresses transmitted by the packages in which they are housed. Stress may come from a variety of sources. Among the most common are thermal mechanical stresses due to exposure to strong temperature changes or to the presence of materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion, and stresses resulting from residual internal strain after fabrication. As mentioned above, such mechanical stresses result in temporary or permanent deformation of critical elements (e.g., membrane or piezoelectric transducer structures) affecting the sensor and may change performance. In some cases, errors due to package stress may be incompatible with the required resolution and accuracy.
To overcome the problems caused by the mechanical stresses transferred by the package, it has been proposed to insert a soft glue layer between the die containing the microelectromechanical structure of the device and the supporting structure of the die (typically a polymer substrate or a printed circuit board; or an additional die possibly mounted on a polymer substrate or a printed circuit board). In this way, a degree of decoupling is obtained.
However, the above situation may not be entirely satisfactory. In fact, a relatively thick layer of soft gel may be required to achieve the desired degree of decoupling. However, providing a soft gel layer of sufficient thickness can be difficult. In addition, soft gel layers exceeding a certain thickness do not provide a sufficiently hard support during the step of placing the microelectromechanical device and may make bonding difficult, thereby reducing the yield of the manufacturing process. Conversely, the reduced thickness may not achieve a suitable degree of mechanical decoupling and thus may not represent an acceptable solution.

Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1-3, a microelectromechanical device or MEMS (microelectromechanical system) is indicated as a whole by numeral 1 and comprises a package, of which only the substrate 3, the control die 5 and the microelectromechanical system die are shown, or for simplicity, the MEMS die 7 is shown as follows.
The substrate 3 has a supporting function and may be, for example, a polymer material layer or a Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
The control die 5 is bonded to the substrate 3 by means of an adhesive layer 8 and incorporates a dedicated control circuit or ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) 9, not shown in detail here. The control die 5, and in particular the dedicated control circuit 9, is functionally coupled to the MEMS die 7 to perform operations whereby the MEMS die 7 is designed (typically, converting sensed physical quantities into electrical signals and/or converting electrical signals into physical quantities). The connection between the dedicated control circuit 9 and the MEMS die 7 may be obtained by wire bonding and is not shown here for simplicity.
The MEMS die 7 incorporates a microelectromechanical structure 12, such as a membrane, and is used, for example, as a piezoelectric, piezoresistive, or capacitive pressure sensor. However, the present disclosure should not be construed as limited to these examples, but rather may generally be utilized when needed for any type of microelectromechanical device, including electroacoustic transducers (microphones and speakers) in particular.
The MEMS die 7 is bonded to a support structure, which in the embodiment of fig. 1-3 is defined by the substrate 3 and the control die 5. In particular, the MEMS die 7 is bonded to the face of the control die 5 opposite the substrate 3. In other embodiments, not shown, the MEMS die may be directly bonded to the substrate 3 or a different intermediate substrate, or the support structure may be defined by a unique control die 5.
To connect the MEMS die 7 to the support structure, the microelectromechanical device 1 comprises a connection structure 13. Further, the connection structure 13 includes a spacer structure 15 formed on the control die 5, and a film 16 applied to one face of the spacer structure 15 opposite to the control die 5. The membrane 16 may completely cover one face of the spacer structure.
The spacer structures 15 are formed, for example, by a resist layer deposited on the control die 5 and subsequently patterned. In the embodiment of fig. 1-3, spacer structure 15 includes a first portion that forms an outer frame 17 that laterally defines a cavity 18 and a second portion that defines an anchor 20 within cavity 18. The cavity 18 is further defined by the face of the control die 5 on which the spacer structures 15 are formed. In plan, the frame 17 and the anchors 20 may have a polygonal shape, such as square or rectangular. In some embodiments, the frame 17 may not be continuous. In these cases, the cavity 18 is only partially defined laterally and may be in communication with the outside. The cavity 18 has a larger size (width and length) with respect to the corresponding size of the MEMS die 7.
In the case where the frame 17 is discontinuous, the frame 17 may instead be a plurality of discrete portions that are discrete and separate from one another and extend around the anchor 20 such that the cavity 18 is defined in part by the plurality of discrete portions. Adjacent pairs of the plurality of discrete portions of the frame 17 may be separated from one another by respective ones of the plurality of openings or channels.
As shown in fig. 1, a portion of the membrane 16 is hidden to the right in fig. 1, so that the spacer structure 15 covered by the membrane 16 is easily visible in fig. 1.
In one embodiment, the film 16 is obtained from a dry resist sheet laminated on the spacer structure 15 and subsequently patterned. In particular, the membrane 16 forms a platform 21, which platform 21 is coupled to the anchor 20 and is kept at least partially suspended from the cavity 18 by the same anchor 20, at a distance from the control die 5. The outer portion 22 of the membrane 16 may be present on the frame 17 of the spacer structure 15.
In the embodiment of fig. 1-3, the platform 21 is centrally supported by the anchors 20. Specifically, the platform 21 includes a central anchor portion 21a supported by the anchors 20, an outer frame 21b, and arms 21c protruding from the anchors 20 and connecting the central anchor portion 21a to the outer frame 21b. In one embodiment, the outer frame 21b is quadrilateral and defines the outer shape of the platform 21. The anchor 20 is also quadrilateral in shape with a dimension not greater than 30% of the corresponding dimension of the platform 21. In practice, each side of the anchors 20 is no more than 30% of the corresponding side of the outer frame 21b of the platform 21. The width of the arm 21c is 5% to 15%, for example 10%, of the maximum dimension of the platform 21.
As shown in fig. 1, the anchors 20 extend laterally outward from the central anchor portion 21a and are larger than the central anchor portion 21a. The anchors 20, which are larger than the central anchor portion 21a, are shown by L-shaped features at each corner of the central anchor portion 21a.
The MEMS die 7 is bonded to the platform 21, more precisely to the outer frame 21b. Like the platform 21, the MEMS die 7 is also centrally supported and laterally protruding by a single anchor 20, remaining suspended from the cavity 18. Since the dimensions (width and length) of the cavity 18 are larger than the corresponding dimensions of the MEMS die 7, the MEMS die may be arranged such that it is not superimposed on the frame 17 of the spacer structure 15.
In the described embodiment, the mechanical connection between the MEMS die 7 and the support structure (in this case formed by the substrate 3 and the control die 5) is limited to the anchors 20. Due to the small size of the anchors 20 and the significantly smaller size relative to the MEMS die 7, deformations and stresses to which the support structure is subjected are not transferred to the MEMS die 7 or at least to a negligible extent to the MEMS die 7. Thus, the operation of the MEMS die 7 is not affected by deformations and stresses caused by external factors (e.g. thermo-mechanical sources), which is advantageous for precision.
The dimensions of the platform 21 may be conveniently chosen so that the placement of the MEMS die 7 may be performed accurately and without difficulty.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, one or more openings 23 may be present in the platform 21. As shown in fig. 1, one or more openings 23 have a square or rectangular shape and are positioned around the central anchor portion 21a.
In one embodiment (fig. 4), the cavity 18 is filled with a sealing gel 25, such as a potting gel. The sealing gel 25 makes the cavity 18 impermeable and protects the dedicated control circuit 9 from moisture. The sealing gel may cover the platform 21. In this case, a thin gel layer may be interposed between the platform 21 and the MEMS die 7.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, microelectromechanical device 100 includes a package, only substrate 103, control die 105, and MEMS chip 107 of which are shown for simplicity. The substrate 103 and the control die 5 are bonded to each other, for example by means of an adhesive layer 108, and form a support structure for the MEMS die 107, substantially as already described.
The MEMS die 107 comprises a microelectromechanical structure 112, here also a thin film, and is used for example as an electroacoustic transducer (microphone or loudspeaker).
The microelectromechanical device 100 comprises a connection structure 113 that connects the MEMS die 107 to a support structure, in particular to the control die 105. Further, connection structure 113 includes a spacer structure 115 formed on control die 105, and a film 116 applied to a face of spacer structure 115 opposite control die 105. The spacer structures 115 form a frame laterally defining a cavity 118 having a larger dimension (width and length) relative to the corresponding dimension of the MEMS die 107.
The film 116 is obtained from a dry resist sheet laminated on the spacer structure 115 and subsequently patterned. In particular, the membrane 116 forms a platform 121 that is bonded to an anchor 120, the anchor 120 being defined by a portion (e.g., one side) of the spacer structure 115. Platform 121 is laterally supported by anchors 120 and is held at least partially suspended from cavity 118 by the same anchors 120 at a distance from control die 105. More precisely, the membrane 116 comprises an anchor portion 116a supported by the anchor 120 and an arm 116b connecting the anchor portion 116a to the outside of the platform 121, the platform 121 being frame-shaped and having a central opening 109.
The MEMS die 107 is bonded to the platform 121 and is thus supported laterally above the cavity 118 relative to the anchor 120. In this case, support for the MEMS die 107 is provided only by the platform 121 and the arm 116b connecting the platform 121 to the anchor portion 116 of the membrane 116. In particular, the width and length of the arms 116b may be selected such that the same arms 116b have sufficient rigidity to support the MEMS die 107.
The central opening 109 present in the platform 121 is surrounded by the platform 121. The central opening 109 is indicated by the dashed lines shown in fig. 5 and 6, respectively. As shown in fig. 5, the central opening 109 has a square or rectangular shape. As shown in fig. 5, a portion of the film 116 is hidden such that a portion of the spacer structure 115 covered by the film 116 is readily visible in fig. 5.
In this case, the MEMS die 107 is completely insensitive to deformations of the support structure and the function is not affected by thermo-mechanical and residual stresses, which may be transferred in particular through the support structure. In fact, the platform 121 is connected to the anchor 120 only by the arm 116b and the MEMS die 107 does not overlap at any point on the spacer structure 115. Deformation of the support structure may at most slightly alter the relative positions of the platform 121 and MEMS die 107 with respect to the same support structure, but does not impart strain.
In the embodiment of fig. 5, the spacer structure 115 includes an outer frame 117 laterally defining a cavity 118. Cavity 118 is also defined by the face of control die 105 on which spacer structures 15 are formed. In plan, the frame 117 may have a polygonal shape, such as a square or rectangle. In some embodiments, the frame 117 may not be continuous. In these cases, the cavity 118 is only partially laterally defined and may be in communication with the outside. The cavity 118 has a larger size (width and length) relative to the corresponding size of the MEMS die 107.
In the case where the frame 117 is discontinuous, the frame 117 may instead be a plurality of discrete portions that are discrete and separate from one another and extend around the cavity 118 such that the cavity 118 is defined in part by the plurality of discrete portions. Adjacent pairs of the plurality of discrete portions of the frame 117 may be separated from one another by respective ones of the plurality of openings or channels.
An outer portion 122 of the membrane 116 may be present on the frame 117 of the spacer structure 115.
Also in this case, the cavity 118 may be filled with a sealing gel 125, as shown in the embodiment of fig. 7.
Referring to fig. 8, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a microelectromechanical device 200 may include a package having a substrate 203, a control die 205, a MEMS die 207 (including a microelectromechanical structure 212), and a connection structure 213, the connection structure 213 bonding the MEMS die 207 to a support structure formed by the substrate 203 and the control die 205 connected to each other. The connection structure 213 includes a frame-shaped spacer structure 215 formed on the control die 205 and defining a cavity 218, and a film 216 applied to one face of the spacer structure 215 opposite the control die 205. In this case, the membrane 216 is continuous and encloses the cavity 218, the length and width of the cavity 218 being greater than the length and width of the MEMS die 207.
The MEMS die 207 is bonded to the membrane 216 over the cavity 218 and is thus suspended from overlapping the spacer structure 215.
Fig. 9-11 generally illustrate examples of methods for fabricating microelectromechanical devices in accordance with the present disclosure, and in particular microelectromechanical devices of fig. 1-3.
In the semiconductor wafer 300, the dedicated control circuitry 9 is initially provided, and then a spacer layer 301 of resist is deposited and patterned by a first photolithographic process to form the spacer structure 15 comprising the anchors 20.
A film 16 (fig. 10) of dry resist is laminated over the wafer 300 and adhered to the protruding spacer structures 15.
The membrane 16 is defined with a second photolithographic process to form a mesa 21 (fig. 11), and the MEMS die 7 provided separately from a different semiconductor wafer not shown is connected to the mesa 21. The wafer 300 is then diced and the resulting combined dicing sheets are bonded to respective substrates 3 to form the microelectromechanical device 1 of fig. 1-3.
Optionally, the cavity is filled with a sealing gel 25 prior to connecting the MEMS die 7 to obtain the structure of fig. 4.
The structures of fig. 5-6 and 7 may provide the same process simply by using a photolithographic mask having the desired pattern.
To provide the microelectromechanical device 200 of fig. 8, the mems die 207 is connected to the membrane 216 without performing a second photolithographic process.
FIG. 12 illustrates an electronic system 400 that may be of any type, particularly but not limited to a wearable device, such as a watch, bracelet, or "smart" band; computers, such as mainframes, personal computers, laptops or tablets; a smart phone; a digital music player, a digital camera, or any other device for processing, storing, transmitting, or receiving information.
