Definitions
- the invention describes a method for producing a micromechanical component which has a cavity in a substrate and a micromechanical component produced by this method.
- the present invention describes a micromechanical method for producing a cavity in a substrate or a micromechanical component produced by this method.
- a first layer is applied or deposited on a substrate in a first step. This can be done by one Deposition process done with in-situ doping. Alternatively, the layer may be created by implantation or doping of the substrate directly in the substrate surface. The doping can take place or be limited over the entire membrane region, so that the regions in which the etching front is to be found after the etching process have a doping which deviates from the substrate. In general, the doping in the first layer can be homogeneous or gradual. Subsequently, at least one second layer is applied to the first layer. An access hole is created in this second layer.
- material of the first layer and of the substrate can be dissolved out, so that a cavity is produced below at least part of the second layer in the substrate.
- This second layer above the cavern can be used below as a membrane.
- the essence of the invention consists in the fact that the material of the first layer is chosen such that the dissolution of the material of the first layer creates a transitional edge in the first layer which has a predeterminable angle between the substrate and the second layer.
- the advantage of a predeterminable angle of the transition edge is that a non-perpendicular angle between the substrate material and the second layer or membrane can be produced. Due to the non-perpendicular angle, the Schichtschreibseinkopplung can be changed and minimized in the membrane.
- the angle of the transition edge is predetermined by the doping of the material of the first layer.
- the material of the first layer has a higher or lower doping level and / or a different doping type and / or a gradient compared to the material of the substrate.
- the material is dissolved out by a gas phase etching.
- a gas phase etching with ClF 3 or other halogen compounds such as XeF 2 , BrF 3 is provided.
- a development of the invention generally uses an isotropic etching process for dissolving out the material.
- a semiconductor material in particular silicon, is provided as material for the substrate and for the first layer.
- a membrane layer can be understood.
- one or more functional layers are applied to the first layer. Typical functional layers are, for example
- Conductor tracks, layers with piezoresistive resistors, evaluation circuits and / or other electrical and / or mechanical layers which are customary in microsystem technology.
- an insulating layer is applied to the first layer.
- a plurality of said layers are deposited successively on the substrate or the first layer.
- FIG. 1 to 3 show schematically the erfmdungswashe manufacturing method.
- FIG. 4 shows an alternative generation of two layers which react differently to an etching process.
- a silicon wafer 100 is used as the substrate for producing a micromechanical component.
- a silicon layer 110 is epitaxially grown epi with a conventional micromechanical process, see FIG. 1.
- the material in the first layer 110 is covered by a silicon layer 110 - A -
- Substrate 100 to provide different doping can be provided, for example, that the material of the first layer 110 can be provided with a higher doping, but also with a lower doping depending on the etching process used.
- a typical thickness of the first layer 110 is provided at 1 .mu.m to 10 .mu.m, although other layer thicknesses may well be used.
- a second layer 120 is applied to the first layer 110.
- This second layer 120 is then patterned so that at least access through the second layer 120 to the first layer 110 is possible through an access hole 130.
- the membrane layer can be produced above the cavern 140 still to be produced.
- the second layer 120 is generally intended to stand for various layers that are mounted above the cavern 140.
- functional layers are conceivable, such as, for example, membrane layers, interconnects, evaluation circuits, piezoresistive resistors or other electrical and / or mechanical usable layers that can be produced using micromechanical production methods.
- an insulating layer to be applied first to the first layer 110, on which all further layers and functions necessary for the micromechanical component are deposited in the further manufacturing process.
- the access holes 130 are used both for dissolving out the material from the first layer 110 and the material of the substrate 100.
- a plurality of access holes 130 are arranged side by side.
- the distance between the access holes 130 to each other can be matched to the etching medium (gaseous or liquid), which is used to dissolve out the material.
- the material is removed from the substrate 100 and the first layer 110 through the access openings 130 by means of a gas-phase etching process.
- a gas phase etching process ClF 3 has proven itself. In general, however, any etching gases are suitable that used
- etch edge 150 is formed.
- this angle 160 of the etching flank or the transition flank 150 can be predetermined.
- an area 112 in the substrate 100 is initially produced by means of an implantation or a doping process.
- This region 112 can be present in the substrate 100 more or less extensively.
- the area 112, however, is characterized in that it forms part of the upper border of the later cavern 140 and has the transition edge 150 after the etching process.
- the region 112 encloses the entire edge of the cavern 140, wherein it may also be provided that the region 112 consists of individual, non-interconnected partial regions.
- the region 112 includes the subsequently created access holes through which the material of the substrate 100 is released.
