• 以MEMS技術製造的微機電系統麥克風(MEMS microphone)具有重量輕、體積小以及訊號品質佳等特性,故微 機電系統麥克風逐漸成為微型麥克風的主流。此外,為降低微 機電系統的製作成本,目前大多採用互補金氧半導體 (Complementary Metal 0xide Semic〇nduct〇r,CM〇s)製程來製 作微機電系統,以整合微機電系統與其驅動電路的製程。圖i 為習知微機電系統麥克風的局部剖面示意圖。請參照圖i,微 機電系統麥克風100包括導電基底110、金氧半導體元件12〇、 •内連線結構130以及微機電顧140。其中,金氧半導體元件 120與=連線結構13〇是形成於導電基底11〇上且内連線結 構130是由多層導線132、多個介層冑134以及多層介電層 所構成。微機電振膜14〇則是配置在内連線結構13〇之任意兩 層相鄰之導線132之間,並透過介層窗134電性連接至上、下 層的導線132。 由於微機電振膜140是由氮化物142、金屬144及氮化物 141依序堆疊而成’因此在形成位於微機電振膜140上方之介 層窗^34的過程中,必須準確地控制介層窗134的深度,以避 免因介電層136與氮化物146的餘刻選擇比不高而導致對氣化 201135867 物I46過度姓刻。然而’在尺寸極小的微機電系統麥克風刚 的製程中’要將介層窗134魄度準確地控制在適當範圍内相 ,困難’因此習知尚提出—種解決方法,即是使用金屬氮化 ^、金屬及金屬氮化物依序堆疊成微機電振膜⑽,以利用金 屬^物作為介層窗134之製程中_刻終止層。但是,由金 ^氮,物/金屬/金屬氮化物所構成的微機電振膜的膜層應力 -工作效此低於由氮化物/金屬/氮化物所構成的微機電振• MEMS microphones made with MEMS technology have the characteristics of light weight, small size, and good signal quality, so MEMS microphones have gradually become the mainstream of miniature microphones. In addition, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of MEMS, the Complementary Metal 0xide Semic〇nduct〇r (CM〇s) process is often used to fabricate MEMS to integrate the process of MEMS and its driver circuits. Figure i is a partial cross-sectional view of a conventional MEMS microphone. Referring to FIG. 1, the MEMS microphone 100 includes a conductive substrate 110, a MOS device 12A, an interconnect structure 130, and a MEMS 140. The MOS device 120 and the FET structure 13A are formed on the conductive substrate 11A, and the interconnect structure 130 is composed of a plurality of wires 132, a plurality of vias 134, and a plurality of dielectric layers. The microelectromechanical diaphragm 14 is disposed between any two adjacent wires 132 of the inner wiring structure 13 and is electrically connected to the upper and lower wires 132 through the via 134. Since the microelectromechanical diaphragm 140 is sequentially stacked by the nitride 142, the metal 144, and the nitride 141, "in the process of forming the via window 34 above the microelectromechanical diaphragm 140, the dielectric layer must be accurately controlled. The depth of the window 134 is such that the gasification of the 201135867 object I46 is excessively surrogate due to the fact that the selection of the dielectric layer 136 and the nitride 146 is not high. However, 'in the process of micro-electromechanical system microphones with very small size, it is difficult to accurately control the thickness of the via 134 within an appropriate range. Therefore, it is known that a solution is to use metal nitriding. ^, the metal and the metal nitride are sequentially stacked into a microelectromechanical diaphragm (10) to utilize the metal as the interlayer of the via 134. However, the film stress of the microelectromechanical diaphragm composed of gold/nitrogen, metal/metal/metal nitride is lower than that of the microelectromechanical vibration composed of nitride/metal/nitride.

Specifically, the guard ring 26〇 is formed by stacking metal film layers such as cranes or other metals, so as to avoid the dielectric layer 224 when the hydrogen dielectric layer 224 is under the dielectric layer 224. 224 caused excessive sputum, sputum. As described above, in the present embodiment t, the sound hole 223 is used for the sound signal to pass through, so that the microelectromechanical diaphragm 24 is subjected to the pressure applied by the acoustic wave signal to generate the middle insulating layer 242 and the top insulating layer. 246 is a film mainly generating vibration: the distance between the 嫉 microelectromechanical vibration 240 and the second electrode layer 230 changes with the vibration of 24G', so that it can be connected by the microelectromechanical diaphragm 240 (four) 2 244 and the second electrode The value of the capacitance change between layers 230 is used to estimate the magnitude of the received acoustic signal. Although the microelectromechanical diaphragm 24G of the above embodiment has a flat shape, 240 # can be limited to its outer shape. In another embodiment, the micro-electromechanical diaphragm is followed by a partial section dry plan in the manufacturing process of the tender-type electric vibration. Referring to FIG. 4A, in the present embodiment, a first opening 221 is formed in the dielectric layer 224 of the wiring structure 220 in 201135867, and a plurality of second openings 421 are also formed in the dielectric layer 224. Thereafter, referring to FIG. 4b, a bottom insulating layer 242 is formed on the dielectric layer 224, and a portion of the bottom insulating layer 242 at the bottom of the first opening 22i is removed to expose the corresponding wires 222.

Referring to FIG. 4C, a portion of the dielectric layer 224 positioned above the microelectromechanical diaphragm 44A is removed to form the sound hole 223 to expose the microelectromechanical diaphragm 440, and the portion under the microelectromechanical diaphragm 440 is removed.
