In the prior art, the surface microfabrication process has a higher flexibility in the manufacture of three-dimensional components than the body microfabrication process. Therefore, it has gradually become one of the popular MEMS processing technologies in recent years. In the past, there have been many microfabrication using surfaces. Micro-system components produced by technology, such as optical scanning systems, micro-motors, micro-actuators and other components, can be combined to form a micro-electro-mechanical system after integrating these components. However, the entire micro-electro-mechanical system must have good performance. In addition to integrating each component, another more important factor is how to control the performance of each component to achieve the predetermined design goal. We know that the performance of the component will differ from the design goal. Most of the reasons come from process errors and uncertainty of the mechanical properties of the thin film. Therefore, to fully control the performance of the component, the first task is to be able to accurately grasp the mechanical properties of the thin film material. These mechanical properties include Young's coefficient of the film, residual stress and so on. The residual β stress of the film is an important indicator for adjusting process parameters and improving yield. There are two known types of residual stress measurement in films, one of which is a "coplanar residual strain gauge" with a micro-scale ruler structure as the detection structure. Because the residual strain of general thin film materials is about 10-4, and the in-plane deformation detection technology is mostly measured directly through microscopic observation, the resolution is only about 0.1 microns, so purely by the micromechanical structure due to 5 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 Release the strain generated by the residual strain to detect the residual strain of the film under test. The size of the micromechanical structure must be at least greater than 1 cm. This is lack of economic benefits in actual detection, so the micro-scale ruler structure is used. Equivalent to the planar detection technology to detect the residual stress of the thin film ', it is necessary to use the link mechanism to enlarge the displacement of the micro-detection beam. The residual strain of the film to be tested is detected. However, at present, there is no literature suggesting a thin film measurement structure or method that can be practically applied to a surface-type microfabrication process. ^ Another theory for measuring the residual strain of a thin film is the so-called "out-plane residual strain gauge", which uses a micro-detection structure to convert the residual stress of the film to be measured into the out-plane displacement of the micromechanical structure. Measure the deformation of this out-of-plane plane, and in accordance with the geometric dimensions of the micro-detection structure, infer the residual strain 値 of the film to be measured. Because the current measurement resolution of the out-of-plane deformation is much higher than the resolution of the in-plane displacement, the resolution ratio of the out-of-plane residual strain gauge to detect the residual strain of the film to be measured is much higher than that of the same plane. , So it can easily reach a detection resolution of 10-6 or more. However, 'the previous literature rarely used a planar detection mechanism to detect the residual stress of the thin film in the surface microfabrication process. The reason should be that the use of the planar detection mechanism often requires excellent structural fixed boundaries. Type _ = Cheng Zhongyi to make a good fixed boundary requires a good boundary design. The idea is far from being reached in the industry. _The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring the strain of a thin film and a skid, which can be applied to the surface microfabrication process to accurately measure the residual strain of the thin film to facilitate the adjustment of process parameters and improve the product. Yield. 6 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 Another object of the present invention is to propose a new coplanar residual strain gauge structure, which can accurately measure the residual strain of the film. If the film is heat treated, its thermal expansion coefficient can also be measured. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a new type of planar residual strain gauge structure, which can accurately measure the residual strain and gradient distribution of residual strain of the film. If the film is heat-treated, its thermal expansion coefficient and thermal expansion gradient distribution can also be measured. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and a structure for measuring the strain of a thin film, which can be applied to a surface microfabrication process, while forming a coplanar residual strain gauge and a planar residual strain gauge on a substrate, respectively. Measure the film strain to obtain more accurate film residual strain and film strain gradient distribution. If the film is heat-treated, its thermal expansion coefficient and thermal expansion gradient distribution can also be measured. According to the above and other objectives, the present invention provides a method for measuring strain of a thin film, which is suitable for measuring strain of a thin film. The method for measuring strain of a thin film includes firstly providing a substrate and forming a sacrificial layer on the surface of the substrate. Then, a thin film is formed on the surface of the sacrificial layer, and the thin film has at least one plane strain gauge pattern and one plane strain gauge pattern. The coplanar strain gauge pattern includes: an index beam, one end of which further has a first vernier ruler, and the other β end has a balance block; a second vernier ruler corresponds to the first vernier ruler, and Extend a first boundary film and dispose it from the first vernier gauge; two curved detection beams are arranged on two sides of the index beam, one end of the curved detection beam has a second boundary film, and the other end is arc-shaped The ground extends toward the two sides of the indicator beam, and is connected to the indicator beam at a position of approximately the center of gravity of the indicator beam, and forms a force couple. The plane strain gauge pattern includes: a bridge-shaped 11647twf.doc / 006 beam, each of which has a third boundary film at each end; a plurality of structural beams extending from the side of the bridge-shaped beam and parallel to the bridge-shaped beam. Then, a part of the sacrificial layer is removed, and only at least the first boundary film, the second boundary film, and the third boundary film are covered to form a covering material layer supporting film, and the indicator beam, the arc detection beam, and the bridge shape are formed. Beams and structural beams are suspended. Measure the reading of the first vernier scale and the deformation of the center point of the bridge beam's buckling to measure the strain of the film, and measure the radius of curvature of the structural beam to obtain the gradient strain of the film. After the above film is heat-treated, the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal expansion gradient distribution of the film can be measured by the above-mentioned in-plane strain gauge and out-of-plane strain gauge. After the above process, the in-plane strain gauge structure of the present invention can be manufactured, which is constructed on a substrate, and includes a sacrificial layer disposed on the surface of the substrate and having a first support pattern and two second support patterns. A film is disposed on the surface of the sacrificial layer. The film has a plane strain gauge pattern, including: an index beam, one end of which has a first vernier scale and the other end has a balance block; a second vernier scale corresponds to A first vernier ruler, and extending a first boundary film, which is misaligned with the first vernier ruler, wherein the first boundary film covers the first supporting pattern; two curved detection beams are respectively disposed on two sides of the index beam, One end of the two-arc detection beam has a second boundary film, while the other end of the two-arc detection beam extends toward the two sides of the indicator beam in an arc shape, and is connected to the indicator beam at the position of approximately the center of gravity of the indicator beam, and A force couple is formed, wherein the two second boundary films respectively cover the second and second supporting patterns, and the index beam and the arc detection beam are suspended on the substrate. The cover layers are respectively disposed on the first boundary film and the second and second boundary films. 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 The plane strain gauge of the present invention can also be achieved by the above process, and its structure is constructed on the substrate, including a sacrificial layer disposed on the surface of the substrate, and the sacrificial layer has two supporting patterns. The film is disposed on the surface of the sacrificial layer and has a plane strain gauge pattern. The plane strain gauge pattern includes: a bridge beam with a boundary film at each end thereof and two boundary films covering the two support patterns respectively. A plurality of structural beams extending from the side of the bridge beam and parallel to the bridge beam, wherein the bridge beam and the structure beam are suspended on the base material. The above-mentioned thin film strain gauge structure can be applied to-surface micro-machined micro-electro-mechanical workpieces, in which the thin film is simultaneously formed-^ micro-electro-mechanical workpiece portion, together with a planar strain gauge portion and / or a planar strain gauge portion . # With the coplanar strain gauge part and the out-of-plane strain gauge part, the strain number or thermal expansion number of the film can be read, and the out-of-plane strain gauge part can read out the strain gradient or thermal expansion gradient of the film. With the above-mentioned thin film strain measurement method and structure, the present invention can measure the corresponding residual strain 値 and / or the residual strain gradient distribution of a thin film-machined micro-electro-mechanical workpiece when the film is formed, thereby monitoring the manufacturing process. And adjust process parameters to improve yield. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal expansion gradient distribution of the heat-treated film can also be measured. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a preferred embodiment is given below and described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as follows: Embodiments = the first step in the present invention The design of two new micro-vernier scale strain gauges-straight-arm and arc-arm micro-vernier scale strain gauges are proposed. Finally, the two types of 9 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 are combined with the advantages of the new micro-mirror scale as a side gauge. The high-resolution, high-resolution arc-arm micro-vernier scale strain gauge was verified by the common process of MUMPs provided by American Cronos to verify the feasibility of this strain gauge. [Example 1] Straight-arm type micro vernier strain gauge

請參照第1圖,其所繪示爲直臂式微游標尺應變規設 計的示意圖。直臂式微游標尺應變規100的設計槪念爲利 用一對懸臂結構樑(長度LA),作爲檢測樑102,104來感 測薄膜的殘餘應變並轉換成檢測樑102,104的形變量。 檢測樑102,104以延伸樑110(長度LB)與中心圓盤106連 接,然後藉由中心圓盤1〇6(半徑R)及指標樑108(長度Lc) 來放大檢測樑102,104的形變量,最後藉由微游標尺讀 出指標樑108的形變量,然後由此形變量配合指標樑108 與檢測樑102,104的幾何尺寸,經過計算得出待測薄膜 的殘餘應變値。由於殘餘應變一般約爲1〇的負4次方, 所以經由薄膜殘餘應變所引發的微游標尺旋轉角度會遠小 於1度,因此整個系統可視爲一個小角度旋轉系統,經過 簡單的幾何計算後,其旋轉位移量與殘餘應變的關係可簡 化爲:Please refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of the design of a straight-arm micro vernier strain gauge. The design of the straight-arm micro-measuring scale strain gauge 100 is to use a pair of cantilever structural beams (length LA) as the detection beams 102 and 104 to sense the residual strain of the film and convert it into the deformation variables of the detection beams 102 and 104. The detection beams 102 and 104 are connected to the center disc 106 with an extension beam 110 (length LB), and then the shape of the detection beams 102 and 104 is enlarged by the center disc 106 (radius R) and the index beam 108 (length Lc). Finally, the deformation of the index beam 108 is read out by a micro-scale ruler, and then the geometrical dimensions of the index beam 108 and the detection beams 102 and 104 are matched with this deformation variable, and the residual strain 値 of the film to be measured is calculated through calculation. Because the residual strain is generally about the negative 4th power of 10, the micro-scale ruler rotation angle caused by the residual strain of the film will be much less than 1 degree. Therefore, the entire system can be regarded as a small-angle rotation system. After simple geometric calculations, , The relationship between the rotational displacement and the residual strain can be simplified as:

And the conversion rate of the strain-displacement amount of the entire micro-swivel scale strain gauge. Therefore, if you want to increase the conversion magnification, you can increase la, LC 値, or shrink 10 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 small LB and disk radius R, but reduce Although the disk radius R can increase the magnification, it may increase the rotation angle and increase the error 値. [Embodiment 2] Strain gauge of arc-arm type micro vernier scale Please refer to FIG. 2 for the schematic diagram of the strain gauge of arc-arm type micro vernier scale. The arc-arm type micro-scale ruler strain gauge 200 uses a pair of arc-shaped cantilever detection beams 202 and 204 with a radius of R and an opening angle of 0 to sense the residual strain of the film, and then through the link mechanism and the index beam 206 (length L), the detection beam The strains of 202 and 204 are converted into rotational displacements and amplified, and then the amplified rotational displacements are also read out by the micro vernier, and the geometric dimensions of the indicator beam 206 are also matched, and the residual strain of the film to be measured is obtained after calculation. value. If the rotation of the micro-scale is also regarded as a small-angle rotation, the relationship between the rotational displacement and the residual strain can be simplified by geometric calculation as follows:

And the strain-displacement conversion rate of this arc-arm type micro vernier scale gauge is: ’

M=0L 從式子中可以發現,應變-位移量轉換率只與張角及指標 樑的長度有關,因此,可以從增加弧形檢測樑的張角及指 標懸臂樑的長度來增加位移量的轉換率。 在以上兩種微游標尺應變規的可行性評估方面,本發 明利用有限元素法來分析微游標尺旋轉位移量與薄膜殘餘 574499 11647twf.doc/006 應變的關係,其結果顯示此兩種微游標尺應變規在彈性檢 測範圍內(小角度旋轉)都具有極高的線性度表現。第3圖 爲直臂式微游標尺應變規的有限元素分析模型,因爲考慮 結構彎矩效應的影響,所以選用具有旋轉自由度的s〇lid 73 元素作爲分析元素。第4圖則顯示直臂式微游標尺應邊規 之旋轉位移量與殘餘應變的關係圖’其中檢測樑LA的長 度爲100微米,指標樑的等效長度(R+LC)爲450微米’施 力臂的等效長度(R+LB)爲75微米,由分析結果顯示,其 應變-位移量轉換率非常線性。第5圖所示爲張角π/6的弧 臂式微游標尺之有限元素分析模型;第6圖所繪示爲弧臂 馨 式微游標尺旋轉位移量與殘餘應變的有限元素法模擬結 果。其轉換率與直臂式微游標尺同樣具有很好的線性度, 而分析所使用的弧形檢測樑其半徑R爲150微米,指標懸 臂樑長度L爲450微米。 由第3,4圖及第5,6圖的結果比較發現,由於弧臂 式微游標尺所佔用的面積較小,所以在相同的面積佔用率 下,弧臂式微游標尺可得到較佳的應變-位移量轉換率。 另外,將有限元素法模擬結果與理論値比較發現直臂式微 游標尺解析解與有限元素法的誤差値約爲4.76%,而弧臂 _ 式微游標尺的的誤差則爲9.46%。 另外,微游檫尺的量測解析度主要受到兩項因素影響, 即應變-位移量轉換率與游標尺規的解析度。其中’游標 尺規的解析度受到製程線寬解析度的限制’而應變-位移 量轉換率則是由結構幾何尺寸來決定。以美商Cronos提 供之MUMPs共用製程的最小線寬爲2微米’因此在不對 12 574499 11647twf.doc/006 游標尺規部分做特別設計的情況下,游標尺規其解析度則 限制在2微米。因此當本發明所提出之直臂式微游標尺的 幾何尺寸爲一般製程允許下的極限尺寸時(gp 1^及Lc皆爲 500微米,而LB爲5微米,圓盤半徑R爲1〇微米),再配 合上游標尺規的解析度爲2微米,則可計算出直臂式微標 尺的應變量測解析度爲1.2x 10-4 ;但是如果製程技術(尤 其是在試片懸浮過程)上允許,本論文的檢測樑LA與指標 樑Lc的長度可以增爲1()00微米時,則整個微游標尺的應 變量測解析度可提弇至3x 10-5,如果再配合游標尺規可 達到1微米的解析度,如此一來,則可將解析度再進一步 馨 提昇至1·5χ 1〇_5。假設待測薄膜爲一般面型製程中常用 的複晶砂材料(楊氏係數爲150 GPa),則直臂式微游標尺 的應力量測解析度約爲2.25 MPa,然而,如果待測薄膜爲 二氧化形7材料(楊氏係數爲7〇GPa)時,則應力量測解析度 便會減小成1.05 MPa。 ’對於弧臂式微游標尺的應變量測解析度方面。 假設指標橡的長度爲1〇〇〇微米,而弧臂的張角爲90度, 游標尺Μ的解析度同樣爲1微米,則弧臂式微游標尺的應 變量測解析度可達到6.3χ 10-4。與直臂式微游標尺相較 _ 起來’其解析度遠不如直臂式微游標尺1 5χ 10_5的應變 解才斤$ °雖然弧臂式微游標尺所佔用的面積較小,但直臂 式;ί散#彳票尺的應變解析度較高,因此在使用上各有其優缺 點’如I果:能將其兩者的優點加以結合,則能夠得到實用性 更高的微游檩尺應變規,所以本發明綜合兩者優點後,提 出個I全:新的高解析度弧臂式微游標尺應變規。 13 574499 11647tvvf.doc/006 [實施例三]高解析度弧臂式微游標尺應變規 吾人發現弧臂式微游標尺之所以無法如直臂式微游標 尺一般,具有約10-5之高解析度的原因,在於其量測機 制中,兩結構樑施加於指標樑的施力臂同時也是圓形弧臂 的半徑,而半徑、張角及弧長彼此是呈現相依關係,所以 在經過數學算後,施力臂的放大效果便會被相消掉。因此, 在設計微游標尺應變規時,便要避免這樣的情形產生,而 在這樣的考量之下,使用直臂式微游標尺會是較佳的選 擇,但是直臂式微游標尺的高面積佔用率,則是限制其應 用的主要因素。然而,如果能夠擷取弧臂式微游標尺的優 點加上直臂式微游標尺的優點則可得到一個兼顧量測解析 度及應用性的薄膜殘餘應力測試鍵。有鑑於此,本發明利 用弧臂式微游標尺的弧形檢測樑設計方式取代直臂式微游 標尺的檢測樑,另外在針對游標尺規部分做「錯位設計」, 便能進一步將新式微游標尺應變規的檢測解析度提昇至 〜10-6以上,成爲「高解析度弧臂式微游標尺應變規」。 請參照第7圖,其繪示本發明之高解析度弧臂式微 游標尺應變規。本實施例弧臂式微游標尺應變規300,係 建構於一面型微細加工的微機電工件中,並形成於一基材 上。而薄膜同時形成一微機電工件部分及一同平面型應變 規部分,亦即本實施例的弧臂式微游標尺應變規。其中薄 膜之弧臂式微游標尺應變規部分,包括一指標樑306,其 指標長度爲LA,指標樑306之一端具有一第一游標尺規 310,而另一端具有一平衡塊308。而第二游標尺規312, 對應於第一游標尺規310,並延伸一第一邊界薄膜314, 14 574499 11647twf.doc/006 且與第一游標尺規310錯位配置。二弧形檢測樑302,304, 分別配置於指標樑306之二側,二弧形檢測樑302,304 之一端分別具有第二邊界薄膜316,318,而二弧形檢測樑 302,304的另一端分別弧狀地朝向指標樑306之二側延 伸,並於指標樑306之約略重心位置與指標樑306連接, 且藉由錯位設計形成一力偶。弧形檢測樑302,304的應 變以力偶的型態使指標樑306產生旋轉位移。其中第一邊 界薄膜314,第二邊界薄膜316,318分別藉由一犧牲層連 接基材^犧牲層在該位置形成一支撐圖案。而爲了加強弧 狀檢測樑302,304的邊界的固定效果,在對應犧牲層位 · 置的薄膜上還可覆蓋一覆蓋層。 而上述結構的製程包括:先提供一基材並形成一犧 牲層於該基材表面。形成薄膜於犧牲層之表面,薄膜至少 具有一同平面應變規圖案。其中,同平面應變規圖案,包 括指標樑其一端更具有第一游標尺規,而另一端具有一平 衡塊;第二游標尺規對應於第一游標尺規,並延伸一第一 邊界薄膜,且與第一游標尺規錯位配置;二弧形檢測樑, 分別配置於指標樑之二側,二弧形檢測樑之一端分別具有 第二邊界薄膜,而二弧形檢測樑的另一端分別弧狀地朝向 ® 指標樑之二側延伸,並於指標樑之約略重心位置與指標樑 連接,且形成一力偶。接著去除部分犧牲層,僅殘留至少 第一邊界薄膜及第二邊界薄膜所覆蓋之部分,形成一包覆 材料層支撐薄膜,並使得指標樑及弧形檢測樑懸空。形成. 弧臂式微游標尺應變規的結構後,便可以量測第一游標尺 規對應第二游標尺規之讀數,以獲得薄膜的應變量。 15 574499 11647twf.doc/006M = 0L It can be found from the formula that the strain-displacement conversion rate is only related to the opening angle and the length of the index beam. Therefore, the conversion rate of the displacement can be increased by increasing the opening angle of the arc detection beam and the length of the index cantilever beam. . In terms of the feasibility evaluation of the above two micro-vernier scale strain gauges, the present invention uses a finite element method to analyze the relationship between the micro-vernier scale rotation displacement and the film residue 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 strain, and the results show that these two micro-verniers The ruler strain gauge has extremely high linearity performance in the elastic detection range (small angle rotation). Figure 3 is a finite element analysis model of a straight-arm micro vernier strain gauge. Because the effect of the bending moment of the structure is considered, the solid 73 element with rotational degrees of freedom is selected as the analysis element. Figure 4 shows the relationship between the rotational displacement and the residual strain of the straight-arm micro vernier scale. 'The length of the detection beam LA is 100 microns, and the equivalent length of the index beam (R + LC) is 450 microns.' The equivalent length (R + LB) of the arm is 75 microns. The analysis results show that the strain-displacement conversion rate is very linear. Figure 5 shows the finite element analysis model of the arc-arm micro vernier with an opening angle of π / 6. Figure 6 shows the simulation results of the finite element method for the rotational displacement and residual strain of the arc-arm micro vernier. Its conversion rate is also very good linearity with the straight-arm micro vernier scale, and the radius of the arc detection beam used in the analysis is 150 microns, and the length L of the index cantilever beam is 450 microns. From the comparison of the results in Figures 3, 4 and 5 and 6, it is found that the arc-arm micro-scale slider can get better strain under the same area occupation rate because the area occupied by the arc-arm micro-scale slider is small. -Conversion rate of displacement. In addition, comparing the simulation results of the finite element method with the theory, it is found that the error between the analytical solution of the straight-arm micro-scale and the finite element method is about 4.76%, while the error of the arc-arm micro-scale is 9.46%. In addition, the measurement resolution of the micro-travel ruler is mainly affected by two factors, namely the strain-displacement conversion rate and the resolution of the vernier scale. Among them, the resolution of the vernier ruler is limited by the resolution of the process line width, and the conversion rate of the strain-displacement amount is determined by the structural geometry. The minimum line width of the MUMPs shared process provided by American Cronos is 2 micron ’, so without special design of the 12 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 vernier ruler, the resolution of the vernier ruler is limited to 2 micron. Therefore, when the geometric size of the straight-arm micro vernier scale proposed by the present invention is the limit size allowed by the general process (gp 1 ^ and Lc are both 500 microns, LB is 5 microns, and the disk radius R is 10 microns) , Together with the resolution of the upstream scale gauge is 2 microns, the strain measurement resolution of the straight-arm microscale can be calculated to be 1.2x 10-4; but if the process technology (especially in the test piece suspension process) allows, When the length of the detection beam LA and the index beam Lc in this paper can be increased to 1 (00 μm), the resolution of the strain measurement of the entire micro vernier scale can be increased to 3x 10-5. A resolution of 1 micron, so that the resolution can be further improved to 1.5 x 10-5. Assuming that the film to be tested is a polycrystalline sand material commonly used in general surface manufacturing processes (Young's coefficient is 150 GPa), the resolution of the stress measurement of the straight-arm micro vernier scale is about 2.25 MPa. However, if the film to be tested is two When the oxidation-shaped 7 material (Young's coefficient is 70 GPa), the resolution of the stress measurement is reduced to 1.05 MPa. ’For the strain measurement resolution of the arc-arm type micro vernier scale. Assuming the length of the index rubber is 1000 microns, and the opening angle of the arc arm is 90 degrees, and the resolution of the vernier scale M is also 1 micron, the strain measurement resolution of the arc arm type micro vernier scale can reach 6.3χ 10- 4. Compared with the straight-arm type micro vernier scale, its resolution is far worse than that of the straight-arm type micro vernier scale. The strain solution is only 15 × 10_5. Although the arc-arm type micro vernier scale takes up a small area, the straight-arm type; ί The resolution resolution of the Scatter gauge is relatively high, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If I can combine the advantages of the two, a more practical micro-scale gauge can be obtained. Therefore, after combining the advantages of the two, the present invention proposes a new one: a new high-resolution arc-arm type micro vernier scale strain gauge. 13 574499 11647tvvf.doc / 006 [Example 3] High-resolution arc-arm micro vernier strain gauge I found that the reason why arc-arm micro vernier cannot be as straight as a micro-arm vernier, has a high resolution of about 10-5 The reason is that in its measurement mechanism, the force-applying arm of the two structural beams to the index beam is also the radius of the circular arc arm, and the radius, opening angle and arc length are dependent on each other. Therefore, after mathematical calculation, The amplification effect of the arm will be eliminated. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid such situations when designing micro-gauge rulers. Under such considerations, the use of a straight-arm micro-scale is a better choice, but the high area of the straight-arm micro-scale is occupied. Rate is the main factor limiting its application. However, if you can capture the advantages of the arc-arm micro vernier plus the advantages of the straight-arm micro vernier, you can get a thin film residual stress test key that considers both measurement resolution and applicability. In view of this, the present invention replaces the detection beam of the straight-arm micro-measuring scale with the design method of the arc detection beam of the arc-arm micro-measuring scale. In addition, by doing “misalignment design” for the vernier ruler part, the new micro-measuring scale can be further developed. The detection resolution of the strain gauge has been increased to ~ 10-6 or more, becoming a "high-resolution arc-arm type micro vernier strain gauge." Please refer to FIG. 7, which shows a high-resolution arc-arm type micro vernier scale strain gauge of the present invention. The arc-arm type micro vernier scale strain gauge 300 of this embodiment is constructed in a microfabricated micro-electro-mechanical workpiece and is formed on a substrate. The thin film forms a micro-electro-mechanical workpiece part and a flat-type strain gauge part at the same time, that is, the arc-arm type micro vernier scale strain gauge in this embodiment. The thin-film arc-arm micro vernier strain gauge section includes an index beam 306 with an index length of LA. One end of the index beam 306 has a first vernier gauge 310, and the other end has a balance block 308. The second vernier ruler 312 corresponds to the first vernier ruler 310, and extends a first boundary film 314, 14 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 and is arranged in a misalignment with the first vernier ruler 310. Two curved detection beams 302 and 304 are respectively disposed on two sides of the index beam 306. One end of the two curved detection beams 302 and 304 has a second boundary film 316 and 318, and the other end of the two curved detection beams 302 and 304 are respectively. The arc extends toward the two sides of the index beam 306 and is connected to the index beam 306 at a position about the center of gravity of the index beam 306, and a force couple is formed by a misaligned design. The strain of the arc detection beams 302, 304 causes a rotation displacement of the index beam 306 in the form of a force couple. The first boundary film 314, the second boundary film 316, and 318 are respectively connected to the substrate through a sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer forms a support pattern at this position. In order to strengthen the fixed effect of the boundary of the arc-shaped detection beams 302 and 304, a film may be covered with a cover layer corresponding to the sacrificial layer position. The manufacturing process of the above structure includes: first providing a substrate and forming a sacrificial layer on the surface of the substrate. A thin film is formed on the surface of the sacrificial layer, and the thin film has at least one plane strain gauge pattern. Among them, the in-plane strain gauge pattern includes an index beam with a first vernier ruler at one end and a balance block at the other end; the second vernier ruler corresponds to the first vernier ruler and extends a first boundary film, It is misaligned with the first vernier gauge; two curved detection beams are arranged on the two sides of the index beam, one end of the two curved detection beams has a second boundary film, and the other end of the two curved detection beams is arced. It extends toward the two sides of the ® indicator beam, and is connected to the indicator beam at a position about the center of gravity of the indicator beam, forming a force couple. Then, a part of the sacrificial layer is removed, and only at least a portion covered by the first boundary film and the second boundary film is left to form a covering material layer supporting film, and the indicator beam and the arc detection beam are suspended. After forming the structure of the arc-arm type micro vernier strain gauge, the reading of the first vernier gauge corresponding to the second vernier gauge can be measured to obtain the strain of the film. 15 574499 11647twf.doc / 006

LB 上述提到微游標尺應變規的量測解析度除了受限於量 測機制及結構尺寸外,另外還有一個重要因素-即游標尺 規的解析度。在一般的游標尺規的設計上,都採用「對位」 設計的槪念,因此游標尺規的解析度則完全由光罩製作機 的解析度決定,然而在微機電產品應用中1微米的光罩解 析度已是屬於相當高的解析度,但在這樣的游標尺規解析 度下,微游標尺的的應變解析度僅約爲〜1〇-5,因此在追 求更高量測解析度的考量上,勢必要有全新的游標尺規設 計思維,因此本發明亦提出一個新型的游標尺規設計。 請參照第8圖,其繪示一種新型的游標尺規示意圖。 如圖所示藉由游標尺規彼此間的「錯位」設計,可將游標 卡尺的解析度提昇至0.1微米,亦即微游標尺的量測解析 度提高至〜10-6。而新型游標尺規設計的優點除了可提高 量測解析度外,另外也能在同樣的量測解析度下,使整個 微游標尺應變規的使用面積較使用傳統「對位式」游標尺 規設計的微游標尺應變規小上一個數量級,而這一項優點 16 574499 11647tvvf.doc/006 將使微游標尺應變規具由更高的商業應用性。 除了檢測薄膜的殘餘均佈應力之外,薄膜的殘餘梯度 應力也是本論文所提出之「同平面式殘餘應變規」能檢測 的項目之一。其檢測方法僅需要直接指標樑的曲率半徑 値,即可經由下的的關係式得到待測薄膜的殘餘梯度應 力,LB As mentioned above, in addition to the measurement resolution of the micro-gauge ruler gauge, it is not limited to the measurement mechanism and structure size, but there is another important factor-the resolution of the vernier scale. In the design of general vernier rulers, the idea of "alignment" is used. Therefore, the resolution of vernier rulers is completely determined by the resolution of the photomask making machine. However, in the application of micro-electromechanical products, the 1 micron The mask resolution is already a relatively high resolution, but under such a vernier ruler resolution, the strain resolution of the micro vernier scale is only about ~ 10-5, so a higher measurement resolution is being pursued In consideration of this, a new design rule of the vernier ruler is bound to be necessary, so the present invention also proposes a new design of the vernier ruler. Please refer to FIG. 8 for a schematic diagram of a new type of vernier ruler. As shown in the figure, with the “misalignment” design of the vernier rulers, the resolution of the vernier caliper can be increased to 0.1 micron, that is, the measurement resolution of the micro vernier ruler can be increased to ~ 10-6. In addition to the advantages of the new vernier ruler design, it can not only improve the measurement resolution, but also make the entire micro-vernier strain gauge use area larger than that of the traditional "alignment" vernier ruler under the same measurement resolution The designed micro-gage ruler strain gauge is an order of magnitude smaller, and this advantage 16 574499 11647tvvf.doc / 006 will make the micro-gage scale gauge from a higher commercial application. In addition to detecting the residual uniform stress of the film, the residual gradient stress of the film is also one of the items that can be detected by the "coplanar residual strain gauge" proposed in this paper. The detection method only needs to directly indicate the curvature radius 梁 of the beam, and then the residual gradient stress of the film to be measured can be obtained through the following relationship.

其中,y爲距離指標樑中性軸的距離,P爲指標樑的曲率 半徑,因此只要量測指標樑的曲率半徑配合已知的厚度及 薄膜楊氏係數,便可檢測出待測薄膜的殘餘梯度應力。 爲了驗證高解析度微游標尺應變規應用於面型微細加 工製程中檢測薄膜殘餘應變的可行性,因此本發明同樣以 美商Cronos公司所提供的MUMPs共用製程爲例子,實際 檢測製程中所使用之兩層複晶矽結構層的殘餘應變値,來 驗證此一檢測技術的可行性。其中,弧形檢測樑的半徑爲 100微米,張角爲90度,指標樑的長度從200微米分佈至 1000微米,以每100微米的長度增加,而施力臂的長度則 設定爲5微米。另外,在弧形檢測樑與指標樑的連接部分, 在理論上此連接點應呈現完全點接觸,然而所謂的點接觸 在實際執行上是有困難的,因此唯有盡可能縮小此接觸點 的面積已減少檢測上的誤差。但是一昧地縮小接觸點的面 積卻會導致製程的良率下降,所以在兼顧製程穩定性及檢 測誤差兩個考量後,本發明將此接觸點的寬度設計爲3微 米,經過實際驗證後,此寬度可使微游標尺應變規的製作 良率達到100%。除此之外,雖然檢測樑的撓性邊界對於 17 574499 11647twf.doc/006 檢測樑釋放殘餘應力的影響並不會特別顯著,但基於減少 檢測誤差的考量上,本發明在設計弧形檢測樑的邊界時, 仍然採用堆疊結構層包覆式邊界以提高邊界的強度,亦即 弧形檢測樑的端部藉由一犧牲層連接基材,其上並包覆一 覆蓋層。 最後在試片形變量量測方面,本發明利用日商Olympus 公司所製造的工具顯微鏡STM-6來觀察及量測指標樑的 位移量。 本發明所提出之高解析度微游標尺應變規_,經過結 構設計後可達到10-6以上的高解析度,並進一步透過 β MUMPs共用製程驗證其可行性。因此,此「同平面式殘 餘應變規」不僅可單獨作爲製程測試鍵來檢測薄膜的殘餘 應變,更可結合本發明下文所提出的另一項「出平面式殘 餘應變規」,相互驗證提高檢測準確度進而形成一個測試 鍵群組。 [實施例四]出平面殘餘應變規 如前所述,本發明已提出一個高解析度的同平面式殘 餘應變規,並成功驗證及探討其可行性。接下來,將介紹 另一種可用於面型微細加工製程中作爲殘餘應變測試鍵的 # 「出平面式殘餘應變規」。所謂「出平面式殘餘應變規」, 即是利用微檢測結構將待測薄膜的殘餘應變轉換成微機械 結構的出平面位移量,然由經由量測此一出平面的形變 量,配合微檢測結構的幾何尺寸,反推待測薄膜的殘餘應 變値。由於目前對於出平面形變量的量測解析度遠比同平 面位移量的解析度高,因此利用「出平面式殘餘應變規」 18 574499 11647twf.doc/006 檢測待測薄膜殘餘應變的解析度變比同平面式高上許多, 因此可以輕易達到10-6以上的檢測解析度。如前所述, 習知鮮少使用出平面式的檢測機制來檢測面型微細製程中 薄膜的殘餘應力,主要原因是由於利用出平面式檢測機制 往往需要極佳的結構固定邊界,而在面型製程中要製作出 良好的固定邊界則需要良好的邊界設計槪念。而根據上述 實施例中本發明以提出一種可型的解決方法,證明可以藉 由堆疊結構層包覆式邊界可以得到極佳的固定邊界,因此 本發明便利用此一強化邊界來設計出「平面式殘餘應變 規」,以用於面型微細製程中檢測薄膜的殘餘應變。 # 根據W. Fang於1994年所提出的微橋狀樑後挫曲行爲 (Post-buckling),微橋狀樑在發生挫曲行爲後,其橋狀結 構中心點的形變量與薄膜均佈殘餘應變會具有下列的關係 式:Among them, y is the distance from the neutral axis of the index beam, and P is the radius of curvature of the index beam. Therefore, as long as the radius of curvature of the index beam is measured with a known thickness and Young's coefficient of the film, the residual film can be detected. Gradient stress. In order to verify the feasibility of applying the high-resolution micro vernier strain gauge to the detection of the residual strain of the thin film in the surface microfabrication process, the present invention also uses the MUMPs common process provided by the American company Cronos as an example. Residual strain of the two layers of the polycrystalline silicon structure layer to verify the feasibility of this detection technology. Among them, the radius of the arc-shaped detection beam is 100 micrometers and the opening angle is 90 degrees. The length of the index beam is distributed from 200 micrometers to 1000 micrometers, increasing by every 100 micrometers, and the length of the forcing arm is set to 5 micrometers. In addition, in the connection part between the arc detection beam and the index beam, in theory, this connection point should show complete point contact. However, the so-called point contact is difficult to implement in practice, so the only way to minimize this contact point is The area has reduced detection errors. However, reducing the area of the contact point indiscriminately will lead to a decrease in the yield of the process. Therefore, after considering both the process stability and the detection error, the present invention designs the width of the contact point to 3 micrometers. After actual verification, This width can make the yield rate of micro-slider strain gauges reach 100%. In addition, although the impact of the flexible boundary of the test beam on the residual stress released by the test beam at 17 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 is not particularly significant, based on the consideration of reducing the detection error, the present invention is designed to design a curved test beam In the case of a boundary, a stacked structure layer is still used to cover the boundary to improve the strength of the boundary, that is, the end of the arc detection beam is connected to the substrate by a sacrificial layer, and a cover layer is covered thereon. Finally, in the aspect of measuring the deformation of the test piece, the present invention uses a tool microscope STM-6 manufactured by Nissho Olympus to observe and measure the displacement of the index beam. The high-resolution micro-slider scale gauge proposed by the present invention can achieve a high resolution of more than 10-6 after the structural design, and further verify its feasibility through the β MUMPs shared process. Therefore, this "coplanar residual strain gauge" can not only be used as a process test key to detect the residual strain of the film, but also can be combined with another "out-plane residual strain gauge" proposed below in the present invention to mutually verify and improve the detection. The accuracy then forms a test key group. [Embodiment 4] A plane residual strain gauge As described above, the present invention has proposed a high-resolution coplanar residual strain gauge, and successfully verified and explored its feasibility. Next, we will introduce another # "out-plane residual strain gauge" which can be used as a key for residual strain test in surface microfabrication. The so-called "out-plane residual strain gauge" is to use a micro-detection structure to convert the residual strain of the film to be measured into the out-plane displacement of the micromechanical structure. The geometric dimensions of the structure are used to infer the residual strain 値 of the film under test. Because the current measurement resolution of the out-of-plane deformation is much higher than the resolution of the in-plane displacement, the "out-of-plane residual strain gauge" is used to detect the change in the resolution of the residual strain of the film to be measured. 18 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 It is much higher than the same plane type, so it can easily reach a detection resolution of 10-6 or more. As mentioned earlier, it is rare to use a planar inspection mechanism to detect the residual stress of a thin film in a microfabrication process. The main reason is that the use of a planar inspection mechanism often requires excellent structural fixed boundaries. In order to make a good fixed boundary in the molding process, good boundary design thinking is required. According to the above embodiments, the present invention proposes a type of solution, which proves that an excellent fixed boundary can be obtained by covering the boundary with a stacked structure layer. Therefore, the present invention facilitates the use of this enhanced boundary to design a "plane "Residual Strain Gauge" for detecting the residual strain of thin films in surface microfabrication processes. # According to the post-buckling behavior of micro-bridge beams proposed by W. Fang in 1994, after the micro-bridge beams have buckling behavior, the deformation of the center point of the bridge structure and the uniform distribution of the film The response will have the following relationship:

After finishing, the relationship between the residual uniform strain of the thin film and the center deformation of the micro-bridge beam is as follows: where t is the thickness of the film to be measured, assuming that the length and thickness of the micro-bridge beam are known. In this case, the residual uniform strain of the film to be measured can be obtained by measuring the deformation of the center point of the micro-bridge beam after the buckling due to the release of the residual strain, and substituting it into the above formula. For the residual gradient strain detection of the film under test 19 574499 11647twf.doc / 006, a quarter of the length of the micro-bridge beam can be derived from a suspended structural beam parallel to the micro-bridge beam and measured. The curvature radius of this structural beam is substituted into the expression of the residual gradient stress in the previous embodiment, and the residual gradient strain can be detected. As for the reason why the derived suspended structural beam is placed at a quarter of the micro-bridge beam, the reason is that when the micro-bridge beam has a buckling behavior, its strain energy at the quarter length is the smallest, so Placing the structural beam that detects gradient strain here has the least effect on the post-buckling behavior of the micro-bridge beam. In addition, with regard to the measurement resolution analysis of the residual strain gauge of the micro-bridge beam, the micro-bridge beam converts the residual strain of the film into the out-of-plane deformation. The interferometer RST-500 has an out-of-plane measurement resolution of more than Inm. If you use a micro-bridge with a length of 500 microns to detect the residual strain of the film, you can get an ultra-high resolution of 4.93 × 10-9. Easily meet the detection resolution requirements above I0-6. To use the micro-bridge structure to detect the residual strain of the film on the surface microfabrication process, there are three important points to consider, namely the fixed boundary, the residual strain and the critical buckling length. First of all, the boundary design part of the hypothesis of a fixed boundary can meet this requirement with the previously proposed boundary layer of the stacked structure layer, so there is no question in this respect. But for the second part, because only compressive strain can cause the micro-bridge beam to buckle, the micro-bridge beam can only be used to detect the residual compressive strain. Therefore, there are still many applications for micro-bridge structures. The last and third point is the most important design factor. 'Because of the buckling behavior for the bridge, in addition to the residual compressive strain of 20 574499 11647twf.doc / 006, this compressive strain must be greater than that of the micro-bridge beam. The buckling behavior only occurs when the critical buckling strain is critical, and the critical buckling strain of the micro-bridge beam can be expressed by the following formula: π2ί2 Therefore, the length of the micro-bridge beam must be adjusted appropriately according to the residual strain of the film to be measured. After the above formulas are sorted, the relationship between the length of the micro-bridge beam and the boundary between the buckling boundary and the residual strain can be obtained. Therefore, assuming that the residual strain of the film to be measured is lx 10-4 and the thickness is 2 micrometers The critical buckling length of the micro-bridge beam is 458 microns, so the length of the micro-bridge beam must be greater than 458 microns to detect the residual compressive strain of the film to be measured. Based on the above analysis results, when the present invention uses the MUMPs common process to verify the feasibility of the residual strain gauge of the micro-bridge beam, the structure design of the present invention is to use a micro-bridge-like probe in addition to the use of stacked structure layers to cover the boundary design at fixed boundaries. The length is distributed from 250 microns to 500 microns, increasing in length per 50 microns. In addition, in the design of the gradient strain detection structural beam, 'the length is designed to 100 micrometers according to experience, and the part connected to the micro-bridge beam' φ takes into account the impact on the micro-bridge beam, so The width is designed to be 2 microns. Please refer to Figure 9 for a schematic diagram of the residual strain gauge of the micro-bridge beam. The micro-bridge beam residual strain gauge 400 is constructed in a micro-machined micro-machined electrical workpiece and is formed on a substrate. The thin film is formed with a magneto-electromechanical workpiece portion and an in-plane strain gauge portion, that is, the residual strain gauge of the micro-bridge beam of this embodiment. The plane strain gauge pattern of the film includes: a bridge beam 402, and two ends of the bridge beam 402 have a boundary film 21 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 406; a plurality of structural beams 404 extend from the side of the bridge beam 402 And parallel to the bridge beam 402. The boundary film 406 uses a stacked structure layer, that is, the film at the end of the bridge beam is connected to the substrate through a sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer forms a support pattern at the position, and the film is covered with a cover layer to strengthen the bridge. Boundary strength of the beam. The manufacturing method of the above structure includes providing a substrate and forming a sacrificial layer on the surface of the substrate. A film is formed on the surface of the sacrificial layer. The film has at least one out-of-plane strain gauge pattern, and the out-of-plane strain gauge pattern includes: a bridge beam with a boundary film at each end thereof; a plurality of structural beams from the sides of the bridge beam Extend and parallel to the bridge beam. Then, a part of the sacrificial layer is removed, and only the part covered by the boundary film is left to form a covering material layer to support the film, and the bridge beam and the structural beam are suspended. At this point, the production of the plane strain gauge is completed, and the strain at the center point of the buckling of the bridge beam is measured to obtain a thin strain variable, and the curvature radius of the structural beam is measured to obtain the gradient strain of the #film. The central deformation of the micro-bridge beam is measured using a three-dimensional optical interferometer. With regard to the analysis of the measurement inaccuracy of the residual strain gauge of the micro-bridge beam, during the detection process, only the length, thickness and center point deformation of the micro-bridge beam were independent variables. Therefore, the measurement resolution of the three-dimensional interferometer is 20 φ nm, and the measurement accuracy of the tool microscope is 3 micrometers. If a micro-bridge beam residual strain gauge with a length of 500 micrometers is used, the structure thickness is 2 micrometers, and the center The point deformation is 1 micron, and the thickness inaccuracy is based on Cronos' measurement inaccuracy results and its 値 is 12%, so the overall detection inaccuracy is about 4.8%. Residual strain gauge detection surface of micro-bridge beam using out-of-plane detection mechanism 22 574499 11647twf.doc / 006 The thin film residual strain in the microfabrication process has not only a very high detection resolution, but also with a good fixed boundary design, It can also get good measurement accuracy in the surface process. Although the micro-bridge beam residual strain gauge can only be used to detect the residual compressive strain, it does not completely limit its applicability. Combined with other residual strain detection mechanisms in this paper, a more accurate film residual strain test group can be formed. The residual strain gauge structure of the thin film proposed in the above four embodiments can be used to measure and monitor the residual strain or strain gradient distribution of the thin film during film formation, and can also be used as a thermal expansion strain gauge to measure The strain of the thin film after heat treatment, so as to obtain the thermal expansion coefficient or thermal expansion gradient of the thin film. To sum up, the present invention has at least the following advantages: 1. The method and structure for measuring the strain of the thin film of the present invention can be applied to the surface microfabrication process to accurately measure the residual strain of the thin film to facilitate the process parameters Adjustment to improve product yield. 2. The new coplanar residual strain gauge structure of the present invention can accurately measure the residual strain of the film. If the film is heat treated, its thermal expansion coefficient can also be measured. 3. The new type of planar residual strain gauge structure of the present invention can accurately measure the residual strain and strain gradient distribution of the film. If the film is subjected to heat treatment, its thermal expansion coefficient and thermal expansion gradient distribution can also be measured. 4. The method and structure for measuring the strain of the thin film of the present invention can be applied to the surface microfabrication process, and at the same time, a coplanar residual strain gauge and a flat residual strain gauge are formed on the substrate to measure the thin film strain, In order to obtain a more accurate film residual strain and gradient distribution of residual strain, if the film is heat-treated at 23 574499 11647tvvf.doc / 006, its thermal expansion coefficient and thermal expansion gradient distribution can also be measured.
