Definitions
- the invention relates to an integrated circuit arrangement for heating ignition material and to the use of such an integrated circuit arrangement.
- An integrated circuit arrangement for heating ignition material proposed in an earlier patent application contains a silicon substrate with a highly doped heating zone as an ignition resistor.
- the area of the heating zone has a smaller cross section than the remaining area of the silicon substrate.
- the object of the invention is to provide an integrated circuit arrangement for heating ignition material, which further permits the integration of a control circuit for the ignition resistor and nevertheless allows good heat transfer from the ignition resistor to the ignition material.
- FIG. 1 shows an electrical equivalent circuit diagram of an igniter for triggering an occupant protection device
- FIG. 2 shows a layer model of an integrated circuit arrangement according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows an electrical equivalent circuit diagram of a marker which is used in particular to trigger an occupant protection device in a motor vehicle.
- a control device is preferably arranged centrally in the vehicle and is connected via a bus line to igniters of occupant protection means such as airbags, belt tensioners, etc. If the control unit detects an impact depending on the acceleration or body deformation, selected igniters are activated via appropriate ignition commands.
- Each lighter is arranged in a gas generator housing, which, for example, m mounts a folded airbag.
- a control circuit 1 of the igniter evaluates messages received via the bus connection 2 and applies a sufficiently large current pulse to an ignition resistor 3 electrically connected to it.
- Control circuit 1 ignition resistor 3 and ignition capacitor 4 are accommodated in a housing of the igniter. Also in this housing is around the ignition resistor 3 around Zundmate ⁇ al, z. B. ignition powder, arranged. When the ignition resistor 3 is heated, the ignition powder explodes as a result of the heat transfer. The energy released by the explosion causes tablets of the gas generator to release gas which flows out of the folded airbag and thus causes the airbag to inflate.
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of the integrated circuit arrangement according to the invention, which is provided for heating ignition material. It contains the ignition resistor and the control circuit according to FIG. 1 on a common semiconductor substrate.
- a semiconductor layer Si preferably a silicon substrate, contains components of the control circuit in the form of doped regions n / p.
- a further semiconductor layer Ps preferably a polysilicon layer is deposited on the Si semiconductor layer.
- any other electrically conductive layer with an ohmic resistance can be used.
- the polysilicon layer Ps serves to electrically connect the components arranged in the semiconductor layer Si.
- the integrated circuit arrangement according to FIG. 2 contains not only the control circuit for the ignition resistance of the igniter, but also the ignition resistance itself. It is implemented by an area Zb of the polysilicon layer Ps.
- the ignition area Zb in the polysilicon layer Ps is designed such that it preferably has an ohmic resistance value of 1-20 ohms.
- the cross section of the polysilicon layer in the ignition region Zb is tapered. By shaping the polysilicon layer Ps in this way, an ignition element in the form of a heating resistor bridge is created in the ignition region Zb.
- the tapered point ensures that electrical energy in the form of a current flowing from a capacitor through the tapered point is precisely at this point.
- the ignition area can be tapered in width or height.
- the cross-sectional area of the polysilicon layer in the tapered region - that is, in the region in which the heating effect is to be achieved - is smaller than in the region in which the polysilicon layer primarily acts as a wiring layer.
- Erfmdungsgeholder have the electrically conductive layers Alul, Alu2 and Alu3 and the insulating S ⁇ 0 2/3 and S ⁇ 0 2/4 in Zund Scheme Zb recesses As on. These recesses As are required to ensure good heat transfer from the ignition resistance realized in the polysilicon layer Ps to the ignition material Zp.
- the entire integrated circuit arrangement is embedded in such ignition material Zp.
- the ignition material Zp is preferably pressed onto the integrated circuit arrangement, in particular in the ignition area Zb. If the integrated circuit arrangement has only one electrically conductive layer Alul, then of course only this electrically conductive layer contains the cutout As.
- the insulating layer S ⁇ 0 2/2 arranged directly on the polysilicon layer Ps is used as an etching stop for this etching process.
- the areas As recessed by etching can be created with small tolerances and can thus be adapted precisely to the ignition area Zb.
- the invention thus has the great advantage that the ignition resistor and control circuit for the ignition resistor can be integrated in a single integrated circuit arrangement and at the same time good heat transfer from the ignition pill resistor to the ignition powder is ensured. At the same time Low-effort and tolerance-accurate creation of this heat transfer by forming the recesses as a result of standard etching processes.
- a cutout As can also be etched into the semiconductor layer Si in the ignition region Zb exclusively or in addition to the cutout in the electrically conductive layer Alul, in order to ensure good thermal connection of the ignition resistance to the ignition material Zp from this side .
- the ignition material Zp is preferably always on the side on which the recess As is etched free.
- circuit arrangement is to be arranged on a carrier using flip-chip technology, i.e. If the circuit arrangement is placed directly with contact areas of one of the electrically conductive layers on mating contact areas of a carrier, then only the semiconductor layer Si is advantageously provided with the cutout As. Ignition material Zp is pressed onto the circuit arrangement from the side of the semiconductor layer Si.
