  • a common process sequence for producing a cavern in surface micromechanics consists in particular of depositing a sacrificial layer, depositing a membrane layer, which usually consists of polysilicon, creating openings in the membrane layer or opening a lateral etching channel, etching out the sacrificial layer and closing it of the openings, whereby the internal cavern pressure is defined when closing.
  • the method according to the invention with the characterizing features of the relevant independent claim has in contrast
  • a micromechanical component such as, in particular, a pressure sensor with piezoresistive resistors made of single-crystal silicon, a capacitive pressure sensor, or a pressure sensor that has resistors whose resistance changes due to the deflection of a membrane of the pressure sensor when pressure is applied, is simple and inexpensive Surface micromechanics can be produced.
  • the measures listed in the dependent claims enable advantageous further developments and improvements of the method and the semiconductor component according to the relevant independent claims.
  • An essential aspect of the invention consists in creating a cavern or a cavity in a semiconductor substrate, such as in particular in a silicon substrate, with an etching medium.
  • a semiconductor substrate such as in particular in a silicon substrate
  • an etching medium for this purpose, the cover layer of the substrate is etched in the region of the subsequently produced cavern in such a way that openings or etching openings, such as, in particular, pores or cavities are formed in it.

  • the part of the semiconductor substrate decomposed in this area by the etching medium or by the further etching media is preferably removed via the openings or pores of the cover layer and / or via an external access opening to this area.
  • the cover layer preferably has a thickness of approximately 2 to 10 ⁇ m, in particular 3 to 5 ⁇ m.
  • a porous cover layer is preferably formed, which preferably has a thickness of approximately 40 to 80 ⁇ m, in particular 50 to 60 ⁇ m.
  • the greater thickness has the purpose that the cover layer can serve as an etching buffer layer when etching the access opening and thus enables a reliable etching stop in front of an epitaxial layer deposited on the cover layer.
  • the epitaxial layer deposited on the cover layer forms the actual sensor membrane.
  • measures are taken during the etching process which ensure that the rate of expansion of the pores in the cover layer is lower, is preferably significantly lower than the rate of expansion of the pores or cavities in the region of the substrate which forms the later cavity or the cavern.
  • etching parameters and / or the etching media or the etching media in the cover layer and the etching parameters and / or the etching media or the etching media or the etching media in the area of the later Caverns are chosen differently.
  • the porosity of the cover layer for the removal of the silicon to be decomposed for the manufacture of the cavern can preferably only be set to an appropriately large extent in a manner which is easy to control in terms of process technology.
  • the cavern can be manufactured quickly and therefore inexpensively.
  • etching parameters in such a way and / or to select the etching medium or media during the etching of the cavern in such a way that the rate of expansion of the pores or cavities is so high that the pores or cavities very quickly " overlap ".
  • the etching parameters and / or the etching media or the etching media during etching of the cavern are selected such that the porosity of the region of the substrate which forms the later cavern is greater than the porosity the top layer is.
  • the precursor of the later cavern preferably has a porosity of more than 80%.
  • the cavern is subsequently formed from the porous area of the substrate by executing one or more tempering steps, preferably above approximately 900 ° C.
  • the pores arrange themselves in the area of the silicon that forms the the later cavern forms, with a porosity of approximately more than 80%, whereby a single large pore, i.e. a cavity or a cavern, is created under the slightly porous cover layer or starting layer for an epitaxial layer to be subsequently deposited.
  • the pores on the top of the slightly porous layer or starting layer are largely closed in this high-temperature step, so that a largely monocrystalline silicon layer, which forms the actual sensor membrane, can be deposited on the starting layer.
  • the etching medium and / or the etching media for producing the openings and / or pores in the cover layer and / or for producing the cavern are hydrofluoric acid (HF) or a liquid mixture or a chemical compound, which contains hydrofluoric acid.
  • the etching medium or the etching media is a volatile component, preferably an alcohol, such as. B. ethanol, and / or purified water to dilute the etching medium or the etching media.
  • an alcohol such as. B. ethanol
  • Ethanol reduces the surface tension of an etching medium provided with it, which enables better wetting of the silicon surface and a better penetration of the etching medium into etched pores or openings or cavities. Furthermore, the bubbles formed during the etching process are smaller than without the addition of ethanol to the etching medium and the bubbles can thus escape better through the pores of the cover layer. Therefore, the pore size and / or the porosity of the cover layer can advantageously be kept smaller than without the addition of the alcohol.
  • the openings and / or pores in the cover layer and / or in the area of the subsequent cavern are produced using an electrochemical process, preferably using the aforementioned etching medium or the aforementioned etching media.
  • an electrochemical etching process preferably an etching process using hydrofluoric acid (HF)
  • HF hydrofluoric acid
  • the rate of expansion of the pores or cavities depends in particular on the doping of the silicon substrate to be etched, the current density, possibly the HF concentration in the etching medium and the temperature. It goes without saying that these are merely examples of relevant process parameters of an etching process according to the invention.
  • the etching medium, the HF concentration in the etching medium and / or the doping of the area to be etched and / or the temperature and optionally further process parameters of the etching process are selected such that the
  • a first current density in the etching medium which is not necessarily constant over time, is set in a first period during which the etching medium is in the region of the cover layer.
  • a second current density which is not necessarily constant over time, is preferably set, which is higher or significantly higher than the current density set during the first period.
  • the cavern or a preliminary stage of the cavern is formed by pores or cavities whose rate of expansion during the etching process of the cavern is higher or significantly higher than the rate of expansion of the pores for producing the porous cover layer.
  • the porous area of the top surface of the substrate is etched with a mask layer or To surround support layer, which allows or allow free access of the etching medium or the etching media to the porous area to be etched and which shields the non-porous areas of the top surface of the substrate against an etching attack.
  • the support layer is such that it mechanically fixes the porous area or the porous layer of the cover surface and after the cavern is etched on the non-etched part of the substrate.
  • the support layer is created prior to the etching of the region to be etched porously or the layer to be etched, in that at least the region around the porous layer to be etched is provided with an n-doping on the top surface of a p-doped silicon substrate becomes. This largely prevents the substrate from being "undercut", particularly in the area in which the porous-etched layer is mechanically bonded to the silicon substrate.
  • a silicon nitride layer can be used as a mask and, in particular, to protect against an etching attack from possibly underlying electronic circuits.
  • a metal layer or metal mask can be provided instead of the n-doping or an n-doped layer, which likewise largely prevents the substrate from being undercut.
  • a metal layer or metal mask will generally only be expedient if no circuits are to be provided in the substrate, since otherwise metal atoms remaining in the substrate even after removal of the metal layer or metal mask could impair the function of the circuits.
  • a porous-etched cover layer such as in particular a silicon layer
  • an epitaxial layer preferably a largely monocrystalline layer
  • Silicon layer is applied or deposited.
  • the pretreatment pursues the goal of completely or partially closing the pores in the porous-etched cover layer or starting layer in order to further improve the quality of the largely monocrystalline silicon layer, if necessary or expedient.

  • the oxidation is preferably carried out with (slight) addition of oxygen into the atmosphere to which the starting layer in the reactor is exposed, the oxidation preferably taking place at a temperature in the range from about 400 ° C. to 600 ° C. Minor is to be understood as an oxidation which largely only partially or completely closes the pores of the starting layer and forms an approximately network-like oxide structure.
  • the oxide structure should cover the surface of the porously etched starting layer as little as possible in order to ensure that a silicon layer which is as single-crystalline as possible can be deposited on the starting layer and forms the actual sensor membrane. If necessary, the oxidation is removed in a subsequent process step until this desired state occurs.
  • the thickness of the starting layer is significantly smaller than the thickness of the silicon layer deposited on it, so that the physical behavior of the sensor membrane is largely determined by the thickness of the silicon layer, which can be adjusted in terms of process technology.
  • the slightly porous layer or starting layer for the deposition of an epitaxial layer which for example forms the membrane of a pressure sensor, is etched with an etching medium which has a hydrofluoric acid concentration (HF concentration) in the range from approximately 20% to approximately 50%, preferably approximately 30% to approximately 40%, in particular approximately 33%.
