Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a micromechanical component, preferably for fluidic applications, and to a micropump with a pump chamber, according to the preamble of claim 12.
- Micropumps are used for various technical areas, especially in the medical area, to precisely convey small amounts of liquid.
- Micromechanical manufacturing processes are used to manufacture micropumps, using silicon, for example, which can be easily and precisely structured using appropriate deposition and etching processes.
- a generic micropump which is manufactured on an SOI wafer.
- the well-known micropump consists of a triple stack with two glass wafers and an SOI wafer in between.
- a single-crystalline silicon layer of the SOI wafer is used to produce a pump membrane, for example a dry etching process (DRIE) for structuring the silicon layer and a sacrificial oxide etching process for exposing the structures are used for the production.
- DRIE dry etching process
- a sacrificial oxide etching process for exposing the structures are used for the production.
- the object of the invention is to provide a simple and flexible method for producing a component, preferably for fluidic applications, and a micropump that can be produced simply and inexpensively using this method.
- the object of the invention is achieved by the method according to claim 1 and by the micropump according to claim 12.
- One advantage of the method according to the invention is that by using two functional layers and by using two stop layers, which can also serve as sacrificial layers, there is a high degree of flexibility in the production of differently structured functional layers.
- the second functional layer is preferably removed in accordance with an etching mask up to the second stop layer and then the first functional layer is removed in accordance with the structure of the second stop layer, which serves as the second etching mask, up to the first stop layer. In this way, simple and precise structuring of the first and second functional layers is possible.
- the base plate is structured from the underside to the first stop layer and the first stop layer as a sacrificial layer in an etching process in predetermined areas, the predetermined areas extending between the first functional layer and the base plate. In this way, an exposure of the first functional layer from the underside is possible.
- a lateral etching of the first stop layer is limited by the first functional layer, which is applied directly on the base plate adjacent to the defined areas of the first stop layer. This precisely defines the areas that result from the etching of the first stop layer used as the sacrificial layer.
- the first stop layer is etched away in defined areas via openings in the first functional layer as a sacrificial layer. An exposure of the underside of the first functional layer is also possible in this way.
- the first stop layer is etched through openings in the base plate before the first functional layer is structured. Then the first functional layer from the top, i.e. H. structured from the side of the second stop layer. In certain areas of application, this procedure can offer advantages over the method described above.
- a cover plate is preferably applied to the top side or a base plate to the base plate using an anodic bonding process and is tightly connected to the component all round. So that moving parts of the second functional layer or moving parts of the base plate are not bonded in the anodic bonding process, the top of the moving parts of the second functional layer, the underside of the moving parts of the base plate or the corresponding areas before anti-bonding layers are applied to the top or bottom plate.
- a layer sequence of a first lower silicon oxide layer, a middle polysilicon layer and an upper second silicon oxide layer is used as the first stop layer.
- the use of this layer sequence offers the advantage that after opening the enveloping silicon oxide layer, large areas of the polysilicon layer, e.g. with xenon difluoride or chlorine trifluoride, in particular in comparison to gas phase hydrogen fluoride etching processes. The process time for etching the first stop layer is thus significantly reduced.
- Manufacture components for fluidic applications preferably a micropump.
- the micropump according to claim 12 has the advantage that the pump membrane is formed from a polysilicon layer. This enables simple and precise structuring of the pump membrane.
- the polysilicon layer is preferably formed in different areas depending on the function of the polysilicon layer in the corresponding area.
- the mechanical stability of the polysilicon layer can thus be determined in accordance with the desired mode of operation.
- the use of the polysilicon layer means that stop layers can be applied to the polysilicon layer during the production of the pump membrane, which can be used for the production of a precise thickness of the polysilicon layer almost independently of the etching time.
- the polysilicon layer is also used to form the closing element of the inlet valve.
- the spring constant and thus the closing and opening times of the inlet valve are varied, within which the inlet valve is closed or opened during the compression process.
- a short closing and opening time lead to a high efficiency of the micropump.
- a sufficient thickness also ensures that the inlet valve is securely closed and is robust against damage.
- Exhaust valve closing member represented by the polysilicon layer.
- the closing element of the exhaust valve must also be produced by a polysilicon layer with a defined thickness for the desired function of the exhaust valve.
- the polysilicon layer has a smaller thickness in predetermined regions, in particular in regions of the inlet valve, the outlet valve and / or the pump chamber, than in other regions.
- the inventive method according to claim 1 makes it possible to produce polysilicon layers as functional layers for a micropump with defined thicknesses.
- a stop layer is used, which is applied under the polysilicon layer.
- a second stop layer and a second polysilicon layer are applied.
- the first stop layer is removed before the first functional layer is applied in the region of the inlet valve, the outlet valve and in the region of the pump chamber.
- the geometry of the polysilicon layer is thus set in a defined manner. This enables, for example, a targeted and reproducible setting of the spring stiffness of the polysilicon layer in the areas of the inlet valve, the outlet valve and in the area of the pump chamber.
- FIGS. 3A-D essential process steps of a further method for producing a micropump.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross section through a micropump 1, which is essentially composed of a base plate 2, a functional layer 3, a cover plate 4 and a base plate 5.
- a first stop layer 17 is arranged in edge regions between the functional layer 3, which is designed as a polysilicon layer, and the base plate 2.
- the base plate 2 is produced, for example, from a structured silicon layer, on which the functional layer 3 is applied on the structured stop layer 17.
- a second functional layer 19 is applied to the functional layer 3 (FIG. 2G), on which the cover plate 4 is applied.
- the base plate 2 is covered on the underside by the base plate 5.
- the micropump 1 has an inlet valve 6, via which a fluid can flow from a feed channel 7, which is introduced into the base plate 2 and into the base plate 5, into a pump chamber 8.
- the pump chamber 8 is between a pump membrane 9 and the cover plate 4.
- an outlet valve 10 is provided, which is connected to the pump chamber 8.
- the outlet valve 10 connects the pump chamber 8 to an outlet channel 11 which is introduced into the base plate 2 and into the base plate 5.
- the inlet valve 6 has a first closing element 12 which is designed in the form of a flexible web and is formed as part of the functional layer 3.
- the first closing member 12 is arranged above an inlet opening of the inlet channel 7, via which the inlet channel 7 opens into the pump chamber 8.
- the area of the first closing element 12 is dimensioned such that the inlet opening of the inlet channel 7 is completely covered by the first closing element 12.
- a sealing seat e.g. circular edge surface of the base plate 2, which surrounds the inlet opening of the inlet channel 7.
- the outlet valve 10 has a second closing member 13, which is also formed as part of the functional layer 3 and is a sleeve shape with an outlet opening 24.
- the height of the sleeve corresponds to the height of the functional layer 3 in the edge area, so that the top of the sleeve rests on an annular sealing surface arranged on the underside of the cover plate 4.
- the drain opening 24 merges into a drain plug 14, which is introduced into the base plate 2 and forms part of the drain plug 11.
- the drain chamber 14 can have a larger cross section than the part of the drain channel 11 which is introduced into the base plate 5.
- the piston 16 is connected to the pump membrane 9 via the first stop layer 17.
- the base plate 5 has an opening 25, via which an actuator can be brought into contact with the piston 16.
- the micropump works as follows: In the initial state, the inlet valve 6 is open and the outlet valve 10 is closed. This allows fluid to enter the pump chamber. The piston 16 is moved up and down to pump a fluid from the inlet channel 7 to the outlet channel 11.
- the pump membrane 9 is also moved up and down.
- the volume of the pumping chamber 8 is periodically reduced and enlarged by the movement of the pumping membrane 9.
- excess pressure is generated in the pump chamber 8, so that the outlet valve 10 opens and discharges fluid from the pump chamber 8 into the outlet chamber 14, and the inlet valve 6 closes and prevents afterflow of fluid.
- the volume of the pump chamber 8 is increased and a corresponding negative pressure is generated in the pump chamber 8.
- the inlet valve 6 opens and fluid is sucked into the pump chamber 8 via the inlet channel 7.
- the outlet valve closes again.
- the second closing member 13 of the outlet valve 10 lies sealingly on the underside of the cover plate 4, so that no fluid can flow into the pump chamber via the outlet valve 10. This prevents fluid from flowing back into the pump chamber 8 from the drain chamber 14.
- FIG. 2A shows a base plate 2 in the form of a silicon wafer.
- the first stop layer 17 has been applied and structured on the upper side of the base plate 2.
- the first stop layer 17 also serves as a sacrificial layer.
- the first stop layer 17 is divided into individual, independent surface areas. As a result, when a surface area of the stop layer 17 is subsequently removed, a lateral etching stop is automatically achieved by the functional layer 3, which limits the surface areas of the first stop layer 17 laterally and at the top.
- the first stop layer 17 is made, for example Silicon oxide made.
- the functional layer 3 is applied, which preferably consists of polysilicon, which was preferably produced in an epitaxial deposition process as an epitaxial polysilicon layer with an EPI start layer 30.
- the thickness of the functional layer 3 is precisely defined by the thickness of the deposited polysilicon layer and by the subsequent polishing process.
- a second stop layer 18 is then applied to the functional layer 3 and structured with a second structure.
- the second stop layer 18 is preferably also made of silicon oxide.
- a second functional layer 19 is applied to the second functional stop layer 18 and on contact surfaces 36 of the functional layer 3.
- the second layer 19 is preferably made of polysilicon and applied in an epitaxial deposition process as an epitaxial polysilicon layer with a second EPI start layer 31.
- polysilicon instead of polysilicon, other micromechanically machinable materials can also be used that grow together with the first functional layer 3.
- the second functional layer 19 is then etched off according to the etching mask 20 using an anisotropic etching method up to the second stop layer 18.
- the second functional layer 19 is etched off as far as the functional layer 3 and the functional layer 3 as far as the first stop layer 17. This process status is shown in FIG. 2C.
- a component with cavities 38 for fluidic applications can be produced.
- the etching mask 20 can be removed and the functional layer or the base plate can be covered, for example, with a glass plate.
- the first stop layer 17 is under-etched in a further development of the method via openings of the first functional layer 3 in defined areas. Cavities 32 can thus be produced between the base plate 2 and the first functional layer 3.
- the first functional layer 3 can be detached from the base plate 2 in defined areas and can be designed as movable parts, for example as a valve membrane.
- FIG. 2D shows the process status of FIG. 2D.
- FIG. 2E shows the component structured according to the described method, which was sealed from the top with a cover plate 4 using an anodic bonding method.
- the base plate 2 can preferably also be structured first from the underside, second openings 33 being introduced into the base plate 2, which adjoin the first stop layer 17.
- the first stop layer 17 is then etched off in defined areas.
- the first functional layer 3 is then structured from above and the base plate 2 is used as an etching stop layer in the areas in which the first stop layer 17 has been removed.
- FIG. 2F wherein the structure layer 37 of the functional layer 3 may have been etched into the base plate 2 from above.
- the base plate 2 is structured from the underside using an anisotropic etching process with a corresponding etching mask in such a way that an inlet channel 7, an annular actuator chamber 15 and the outlet chamber 14 are introduced into the base plate 2.
- the inlet channel 7, the actuator chamber 15 and the outlet chamber 14 are adjacent to separate surface areas of the stop layer 17. This state of the art is shown in FIG. 2G.
- the surface areas of the first stop layer 17 which are accessible therewith are removed from the underside via the inlet channel 7, the actuator chamber 15 and the outlet chamber 14 by means of a selective etching process.
- the lateral undercut is also limited by the lateral delimitation of the surface areas, since the functional layer 3 functions as a stop layer.
- the structuring of the base plate 2, the first functional layer 3 and the second functional layer 19 made of silicon is possible with a silicon etching process, in which the stop layers 17, 18 consisting of silicon oxide as
- Etching stop can be used.
- the first and second stop layers 17, 18 are then removed in the desired areas using selective etching processes.
- the second stop layer 18 is removed on the exposed areas and on the edge areas.
- the first stop layer 17 is removed in the surface areas adjacent to the inlet 7, the actuator chamber 15 and adjacent to the outlet chamber 14.
- any process-related residues of silicon are also removed from the pump membrane. Due to the lateral etching stops, the first stop layer is retained between the piston 16 and the pump membrane 9. So it is not. required to control the etching process after an etching time. This process status is shown in Figure 2H.
- the functional layer 3 has a smaller thickness in certain areas, such as, for example, in the area of the first and second closing elements 12, 13 and in the area above the actuator space 15 than in other areas.
- the described closing member 13 is formed in the form of a sleeve by the method described.
- the stop layer 17 and between the Functional layer 3 and the second layer 19 the second stop layer 18 is arranged.
- the etched-off surface areas of the first stop layer 17 extend laterally beyond the openings 7, 15, 14 of the base plate 2 into under-etching spaces 26.
- the under-etching spaces 26 are delimited laterally and upwards by the polysilicon layer 3.
- the lateral undercut is thus precisely defined by the areas of the first stop layer 17.
- the base plate 5 and the cover plate 4 are then sealed to the base plate 2 and to the second functional layer 19, respectively.
- Glass is preferably used as the material for the base plate 5 and the cover plate 4, which glass is connected to the base plate 2 or to the second layer 19 via an anodic bonding process.
- an anti-bonding layer 34 is deposited on the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5, 4 or prevents a connection between the second functional layer 19 and the cover plate between the base plate 2 and the bottom plate. 5
- the areas are arranged above the second closing member 13 and below the piston 16. Thus, the second closing member 13 and the piston 16 are not anodically bonded and are therefore movable for opening and closing the outlet valve or for pumping.
- FIGS. 3A-D show a further method for producing a component for fluidic applications, in particular for a micropump, in essential method steps, in which, as the stop layer 17, a layer sequence consisting of a lower silicon oxide layer 21, a middle polysilicon layer 22 and an upper one Silicon oxide layer 23 is constructed, which completely covers the middle polysilicon layer 22.
- the layer structure of FIG. 3A has the same shape as the first stop layer 17 of FIG. 2A.
- the lower silicon oxide layer 21, the middle polysilicon layer 22 and the upper silicon oxide layer 23 are applied to the base plate 2 using appropriate deposition processes and structuring processes.
- the functional layer 3 which preferably consists of epitaxially applied polysilicon, is applied to the layer structure and the free surfaces of the base plate 2.
- the second stop layer 18 and the second layer 19 and the etching mask 20 are then applied in accordance with the previous method, and both the base plate 2 from the underside and the second layer 19 and the functional layer 3 are structured in corresponding etching processes.
- the surfaces of the lower silicon layer 21 exposed by the inlet channel 7, the annular actuator chamber 15 and the outlet chamber 14, as well as the vertical walls of the base plate 2 and the free surfaces of the functional layers are covered with silicon oxide and the exposed surfaces of the lower silicon oxide layer 21 are also covered opened using an anisotropic etching process.
- the middle polysilicon layer 22 is an isotropic etching process in the exposed areas, i.e. removed above the inlet channel 7, above the actuator chamber 15 and above the outlet chamber 14. This state of the process is shown in FIG. 3B.
- the upper silicon oxide layers 23 in the areas of the inlet valve 6, the outlet valve 10 and above the actuator chamber 15 are removed using a hydrogen fluoride gas phase etching method.
- a wet chemical process can be used in combination with a special drying process (eg supercritical drying in C0 2 ).
- the anti-bonding layer 34 also has the advantage in the region of the outlet valve 10 that the outlet valve 10 is prestressed against the cover plate 4.
- An anti-bonding layer 34 is likewise introduced between the piston 16, the base plate 2 and the base plate 5. This ensures that the piston 16 remains movable to actuate the pump membrane.
- the anti-bonding layer 34 is designed, for example, as a nitride layer. This process status is shown in FIG. 3D. Depending on the embodiment, the anti-bonding layer 34 can also be applied to the cover plate 2 or to the base plate 5.
