Description of the invention (2) Serial number 0 9 1 1 0 6 8 0 6, the application date is April 3, 2002, the name of the invention is "capacitive fingerprint reading chip", patent pending), To read the lines of the finger, it is used for identification. For this reason, the mechanical characteristics of the wafer surface must be considered in order to protect the structure from the pressure of the fingers and anti-static damage. ^ For example, the capacitive fingerprint sensor chip needs to consider the residual fingerprint effect. Conventionally, the basic structure of a capacitive fingerprint sensor chip is to make related sensing and control processing electronics in a substrate, and arrange a plurality of metal plates of matrix type on the surface of the chip as sensing electrodes. The electrodes below include the sensing and control processing circuit and the silicon substrate will be collectively referred to as the substrate structure), and a dielectric material layer is formed on the outermost surface of the chip, which also serves as a sensing capacitor: the second quality and the protection of the chip exposed Floor. In order to achieve the above-mentioned surface of the wafer: the characteristics of financial grinding: the conventional technology uses a hard dielectric material ^ as a protective layer for the outer surface, such as the world patent, ^ 〇3 / 〇m41A1, US patent No. 6 091 〇82, European patent EP1256899, U.S. patent β 6,211, 8,62 and U.S. patent 6: 515,488, all disclose this structure. In short, it means that a hard material layer such as nitrogen cut, carbon cut, oxidized diamond or diamond is formed above the substrate structure, or a dielectric material, such as stone oxide, is used for both = :: 3. The gate of t is a soft rider. μ The hard material layer of gasified stone, carbonized stone, oxidized metal, or diamond. Although the material has good strength characteristics, it is more difficult to increase the thickness of the t plate, and the structure. The limitation is due to the thermal residual stress between the material layer and the substrate structure: usually nitriding μ

These materials will be bonded to the substrate structure. "Thickness comes" not only is the chip I vulnerable to damage: it also causes breakage. "So-in the semiconductor process, only the thickness of the second method can be provided to withstand electrostatic damage. Usually the problem. Although ... there are still phase two 1 meter production to Avoid the above-mentioned easy-to-generate material defects and cause; the thermal residual stress of ㈡ is in it and cause damage. For this reason, to solve the thermal residual should be: increase = manufacturing (proportional to the cube of the machine), it becomes the second important problem. Solving electrostatic damage can be divided into: bu xiang = broken = proportional to the square of thickness :: Rugao's electrostatic field strength is a commercial integrated circuit manufacturing process, which is only about 1 micron (its The material is usually a dwelling of silicon oxide and silicon nitride. The electrostatic breakdown voltage (air mOde) that can withstand is about 1500. Because the protective layer structure of the above invention cannot effectively increase its thickness, the above invention cannot use protection only. The layer material achieves anti-electrostatic destruction 1 and the conduction = ground method is to use a bare metal mesh structure to trap the electrostatic charge V to ground, such as the above-mentioned inventions WO 0 1/0 6448M, W 0 0 3/0 9 8 54 1 A1 The European patent EP 1 25 68 9 9 has adopted the concept of this kind of metal conducting static electricity.

Description of the invention (11) It is clear that in order to make the electrostatic discharge unit 24, the present invention sacrifice the sensing area of some flat electrodes without affecting the sensing effect. Therefore, the flat electrodes 22 include a plurality of sacrificial electrodes 22S and a plurality of standard electrodes 22N. The sacrificial electrodes 22S are adjacent to the electrostatic discharge cells 24, and the size of each of the sacrificial electrodes 22S is smaller than that of each of the standard electrodes 22N. size. In this embodiment, each of the electrostatic discharge cells 24 is adjacent to only one sacrificial electrode 22S. Therefore, among the nine plate electrodes 22, there is only one sacrificial electrode 22S. The plate electrode 22 and the metal mesh 23 may be made of the same material. For example, the plate electrode 22 and the metal mesh 23 may be the topmost metal film in the integrated circuit granulation, such as an aluminum metal laminate 30 or a copper metal laminate. In this embodiment, the area of the flat electrode 22 is about 40 microns * 40 microns, the area of the capacitive sensing element 20 is 50 microns * 50 microns, and sensing is formed between the flat electrode 2 2 and the finger 1. Capacitors, and metal meshes 2 and 3 are used for electrostatic protection. When a finger approaches the sensor, static electricity can flow from the first opening 27 to the ground terminal GND through the metal net 23. In this embodiment, the optimized distance D between two adjacent electrostatic discharge cells 24 is 5,000 to 10,000 microns. Fig. 8 shows a plan view of a capacitive fingerprint sensor according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The sensor system of FIG. 8 is similar to FIG. 7 except that each of the electrostatic discharge units 24 of FIG. 8 is adjacent to only two sacrificial electrodes 22S. That is, two adjacent plate electrodes 22 of? Are sacrificed one area each for use by the electrostatic discharge unit 24. Fig. 9 shows an unintended plan view of a capacitive fingerprint sensor according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The sensor of FIG. 9 is similar to that of FIG. 7 except that each of the electrostatic discharge cells 24 of FIG. 9 is adjacent to only four sacrificial electrodes 22S. Also 200536096 V. Description of the invention (12) That is, each of the four adjacent plate electrodes 22 is sacrificed an area for the electrostatic discharge unit 24 to use. With the above configuration, the first opening 27 for the electrostatic discharge unit 24 and the second opening 28 for the pad 25 are designed in the same mask, but there is a considerable difference in size. For example, the size of the first opening 27 is usually 5 to 10 micrometers, and the size of the second opening 28 is usually 100 to 150 micrometers. Therefore, during the formation of the openings, not only the 4 layers 2 6 can be completely removed to form the second openings 2 8, but the uppermost titanium nitride layer 5 3 can also be finished and the aluminum alloy layer 5 2 can be removed. Fully exposed to facilitate subsequent wire-making actions ..., ^ This artist should easily understand that the ^ -etching methods used to form the openings all have a loading effect, that is, 2 clever: car: small Etching speed is slow. The present invention utilizes this feature- # 5 ^ ^^ -271 ^ Corrosion resistance: the penetration degree is about 0.1 micron) ° Since the nitride layer 53 is not easy to oxidize, it is suitable for long-term use and is suitable for exposure to the air. In this way, the static electricity near the object being sensed is connected to the metal alloy layer 52 through the first opening 27, the vaporized titanium layer 53, and the metal ground terminal used in the present invention to avoid electrostatic damage. The integrated circuit manufacturing process is used, and the manufacturing process is completely the same as that of any manufacturer who completes the inscription of the sensing electrode and the static S3 layer or the copper metal process. It is also incompatible with the manufacturing process. Can eliminate the above-mentioned conventional technology, the problem of incompatible materials. Known technology: It is not necessary to use the aforementioned processes and materials with high complexity to manufacture the standard flow of this integrated circuit factory
