Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a device for monitoring torque on rotating shafts. More particularly, the present invention relates to a torque monitoring device using a surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.
- At the present time, there is an increased need for torque monitoring on rotating shafts in vehicles where improved operation is needed. It is desirable to measure torque for power train and drive line, and then include the sensing result in a closed loop operation for smooth, reliable operation and lower fuel use. In addition, torque monitoring can be of tremendous importance for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of different civil infrastructures and assets such as buildings, bridges, pumps and the like.
- Real time monitoring and predictive condition based maintenance practices are another place where torque sensors can be of value. The measurement of torque on moving parts of an engine is, of course, the most challenging process, and involves wireless sensing and detector capability to withstand the automotive industry specifications of a much higher temperature and significant vibration. In the automotive domain, specific materials for sensor realization and the related attachment technology are the key features that need to be addressed. Wireless optical and magnetic principles are frequently used, but the main disadvantages for these remains the high costs of such sensors and the quality of attachment technology specific to the harsh environmental conditions.
- In the past two decades, surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology devices have been tried for such torque applications, due to their advantages of passive and wireless operation capabilities in conjunction with low cost that is specific to integrated circuit (IC) like technology for SAW torque sensor fabrication. The SAW sensor is a strain sensitive device and can be wirelessly interrogated from a distance for giving torque information from the position where it is located.
- In the prior art, different SAW packaging solutions and attachment technologies have been tried, but they are not passing either the low cost requirement or functional requirement in term of low stress introduced by the package, primarily the technology used to attach the sensor. The strain transmission with high fidelity from the rotating shaft to the sensor is another prerequisite that has not been met. Prior art technologies for SAW packaging and attachment to the substrate have suffered from being labor cost intensive.
- Accordingly, one advantage of the present invention is to provide a visionary, low cost and flexible technology that is industrially applicable for SAW torque packaging and attachment to a shaft.
- Another advantage of the present invention is to provide a technology that considers the specific requirements of each type of shaft and allow a robust sensor operation in the harsh environment of the automotive industry.
- Yet another advantage of this invention is that this technology will be based in IC technology extension at the lever of sensor packaging in terms of wafer level packaging and the use of low cost materials for a package that can be fitted with a piezoelectric substrate in terms of similar thermal expansion coefficients.
- Other advantages will appear hereinafter.
- It has now been discovered that the above and other advantages of the present invention may be obtained in the following manner. In its simplest form, the present invention includes a method of mounting a quartz SAW sensor having at least two SAW devices electrically connected to each other on to a shaft. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention further includes a method of packaging the quartz SAW sensor prior to attachment to the shaft or other rotating element.
- For the purposes of this invention, the word “shaft” is intended to mean any rotating mechanical element for which a quartz SAW sensor may be used to sense torque.
- The back of said quartz SAW sensor is directly attached to a shaft by applying a gel phase of a glass frit composition to a place on said shaft and consolidating the gel phase to a cured glass frit. The glass frit composition should have a thermal coefficient of expansion (hereinafter TCE) bridging the TCE of said shaft and the TCE of said back of said quartz SAW sensor. The back of the quartz SAW sensor is then bonded to the glass frit composition on the shaft.
- There are two embodiments for the glass frit composition. First, the glass frit composition has a TCE intermediate of the TCE of the shaft and the TCE of the quartz sensor back. Alternatively, the glass frit composition comprises a first composition applied directly to the shaft and having a TCE near the TCE of the shaft and a second composition is applied to the first composition and having a TCE near the TCE of the quartz sensor back, the quartz sensor back is then applied to the second composition. The first composition of the glass frit is a metal-like glass frit layer formed from a mixture of metal oxide powder and silica powder. The second composition of the glass frit is a silica glass frit having a TCE substantially equal to the average TCE of the quartz sensor back.
- The preferred method for packaging the quartz SAW sensor, particularly those having at least two SAW devices, is to place a glass cover wafer having a diameter substantially the same as the quartz SAW sensor, the glass cover wafer in position over the top surface of the sensor. A glass frit paste having a desired pattern is placed on the side of the glass cover wafer facing the sensor to form a pattern of glass frit spacers. The glass frit spacers have a TCE substantially the same as the glass cover wafer. Then the glass cover wafer is aligned over the quartz SAW sensor making direct contact to thereby isolate the glass cover wafer and the SAW sensor by the glass frit spacers. The glass frit spacers further isolate the at least two SAW devices. The glass frit paste is heated at a temperature below the Curie temperature of the quartz SAW sensor to form consolidated solid glass material that seals the surface of the sensor. Finally, the glass cover wafer is sliced to expose the at least two SAW devices for making electrical contact therewith. The sensor is now ready for mounting as described above.
- For a more complete understanding of the invention, reference is hereby made to the drawings, wherein like numbers refer to like elements, and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a quartz SAW wafer according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a section view of the wafer ofFIG. 1 after attachment to a shaft. - The present invention relates to both packaging quartz SAW sensors and attaching quartz SAW sensors to a shaft, as defined above, whether or not the sensor has been packaged according to this invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a sensor device generally 10 having a quartz SAW wafer 11 in which at least two SAW devices as is conventional. It is well known that quartz wafers have different thermal coefficients of expansion (TCE) in different crystalline directions. - A simple, conventional quartz SAW sensor will have two SAW devices electrically connected in parallel (resonator or delay line) located at 45 degrees with respect to an axis normal to the longitudinal axis of a rotating shaft. In the case of SAW resonators based torque sensors, for example, one sensor is exposed to tension stress and its operating frequency is decreasing, while the other sensor is exposed to compression and its operating frequency is increasing. Thus, the frequency difference expresses the temperature compensated torque of the shaft, while the frequency sum indicates the shaft temperature. All of this is known as how quartz SAW sensors function.
- In the present invention, such a sensor is packaged in an unique manner. A glass cover wafer 13 with the same diameter as
wafer 11 is selected, having a TCE that is suitable as described below. Thewafer 11 will includemetal 15 for electrical contact. A glassfrit paste 17 is deposited on the side of theglass cover wafer 13 facing thequartz wafer 11. Thepaste 17 may be applied by screen printing through a silk mask or thepaste 17 may be directly printed on theglass cover wafer 13. In either case, the glass frit paste is pre-consolidated by heating at around 150° C. to drive off the solvent. The purpose is to create a hermetic package for each SAW chip on thequartz wafer 11. Theglass cover wafer 13 is then aligned with thepaste 17 on it and makes direct contact of the two wafers so that each SAW chip is isolated from the other by glassfrit spacers 17. The glass frit paste will cover the metal paths going outside to the bonding pads, and still maintain the package hermiticity. The inner chamber, not shown, of the device could be filled with dry nitrogen or vacuum. At the appropriate time,gold stud bumps 19 are added. - The bonded wafer as seen in
FIG. 1 is thermally annealed at temperatures below the Curie temperature of the quartz substrate so that the glass frit becomes consolidated solid glass material. - The next step is providing electrical access to the SAW chips. The bonded wafers are diced, such as by removing a number of glass strips from the top
glass cover wafer 13. For each strip elimination, two cuttings are needed that are in a parallel direction above the bonding pad of neighbor SAW chips. Theglass frit spacer 17, as seen inFIG. 2 , should be high enough (30 to 50 microns) so as to not allow the disc to touch the metal bonds. Then third and fourth cuts are made perpendicularly on the first two cuttings, so that theglass cover wafer 13 is totally penetrated and theSAW quartz wafer 11 is only partially penetrated. A fifth cut is made through the inner chip between the at least two SAW torque sensor devices without touching the bonding pads. The cut is seen as an open area inFIG. 1 withelectrodes 15 exposed and aglass frit wall 17 a sealing the metal paths. This is the preferred quartz SAW sensor of the present invention. - The quartz SAW sensor above, or any quartz wafer based SAW sensor is then attaché to a
shaft 21 or other rotating mechanical element using a secondglass frit layer 23.Layer 23 is relatively thin, not locating the sensor too far from the shaft. The preferred thickness of the second glass frit layer when consolidated into solid glass is about 30 to 50 micrometers. - The surface of the
shaft 21 is, of course, cleaned a the location where the sensor is to be attached. A layer ofglass frit paste 23 is then deposited on the clean surface. Theglass frit paste 23 may comprise a single layer with a TCE equal with the average value between that of theshaft 21 and thequartz 11. The deposition may be done by direct printing. The quartz SAW sensor is then pressed on the shaft and theglass frit paste 23 is cured by thermal annealing of the shaft region where theglass frit paste 23 has been deposited, so that glass frit consolidation occurs, again below the Curie temperature of the quartz substrate. Laser heating or hot air heating are some methods for curing the paste to solid glass. - An alternative way of attaching the sensor to a shaft involves the use of a second
glass frit layer 23 that has two components. Theglass frit composition 23 comprises a first composition applied directly to said shaft and having a TCE near the TCE of the shaft TCE. A second composition is applied to said first composition that has a TCE near said TCE of said quartz sensor back. Then the quartz sensor back is applied to said second composition to bond it to the shaft. - The first composition of glass frit may be a metal-like glass frit layer formed from a mixture of metal oxide powder and silica powder to give the required TCE. The second composition of said glass frit is a silica glass frit having a TCE substantially equal to the average TCE of the quartz sensor back. Thus a smooth transition between the TCE of the shaft and the sensor is accomplished.
- While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it is not intended to limit the invention, except as defined by the following claims.
