B. emitted in the low-current range light bulb or an IR LED, emitted IR radiation over an absorption path and is subsequently recorded by the infrared sensor, and from the absorption of the Infrarot ⁇ radiation in specific wavelength ranges on the concentration of gases to be detected in the Absorption path can be closed.
- a radiation source for. B. emitted in the low-current range light bulb or an IR LED, emitted IR radiation over an absorption path and is subsequently recorded by the infrared sensor, and from the absorption of the Infrarot ⁇ radiation in specific wavelength ranges on the concentration of gases to be detected in the Absorption path can be closed.

- the micromechanical infrared sensor usually has a sensor chip with a measuring structure sensitive to infrared radiation and a cap chip covering the sensor chip. Between the sensor chip and the cap chip, a sensor chamber which is sealed off from the outside in a vacuum-tight manner is formed, for which purpose a cavity is generally formed on the underside of the cap chip.
- the measuring structure which is sensitive to infrared radiation usually has a membrane, below which a cavern is formed, and at least one thermopile structure formed on the membrane of two interconnected interconnects of different conductive materials, eg polycrystalline silicon and a metal , On the contact area of Conductor tracks an absorber layer is applied, which absorbs incident IR radiation under heating. Infrared radiation entering from above passes through the silicon cap chip, which is transparent to infrared radiation, into the sensor space and strikes the absorber layer, the temperature increase of which can be read out as a thermoelectric voltage of the thermopile structure.
- conductive materials eg polycrystalline silicon and a metal

- the window is in this case so large that the absorber layer is completely illuminated by the infrared radiation.
- Sen ⁇ sors on the housing bottom no accurate adjustment of the window to the lateral extent of the absorber layer can be made.
- the window is designed so large that in general infrared radiation also strikes the bulk material of the silicon outside of the absorber layer and the membrane and thus on the cold end of the thermopile structure.
- the sensitivity of the infrared sensor is defined by the temperature difference between the hot contact region arranged below the absorber layer and the cold ends of the conductor tracks provided in the bulk material, the infrared radiation reaching further outward in the lateral direction reduces the sensitivity of the infrared sensor. Furthermore, partial shading of the thermopile structure and the absorber layer can already be achieved by a slight incorrect positioning of the infrared sensor in the housing or incorrect positioning of the cover provided with the window on the housing, so that the sensitivity is further reduced.
- the mounting roller chain is thus defined by the mounting of the infra red sensor in the sensor housing and the cover provided with the window on the housing.

- a reflection, scattering or absorption of the infrared radiation by a suitable structuring of the surface of the cap chip can be carried out in the outer blen ⁇ den Kunststoff.
- the structuring can be formed, for example, by V-shaped trenches; These can be easily generated by wet etching, eg KOH etching with the oblique surfaces forming along the crystal planes.
- An absorption of the incident infrared radiation can be adjusted by a suitable roughness, which can be achieved, for example, by wet etching or plasma etching.

- the conductor tracks 14a and 14b are formed of different, respectively electrically conductive materials, for example polycrystalline silicon and a metal, for example aluminum. They are contacted in a central region of the membrane 12 and lead laterally outwardly away from the membrane 12.
- an absorber layer 16 is absorbed from an infrared radiation. ing material, such as a metal oxide, applied. Upon absorption of infrared radiation, the absorber layer 16 heats up so that the thermopile structure 14 experiences a temperature increase in its contact region, which can be read out as a thermal voltage.
- a cap chip 20 is fastened in vacuum-tight connection areas 21.
- the connection regions 21 may be e.g. be formed by a low-melting lead glass.
- a sensor space 23 is formed as a cavern, in which the membrane 12 together with the thermopile structure 14 and the absorber layer 16 are accommodated. In the sensor space 23 in this case a vacuum is formed, which is sealed by the connecting portions 21 relative to the housing interior 7.
- a diaphragm 25 is formed with an outer diaphragm region 25a and an inner diaphragm region 25b.
- the diaphragm 25 is designed as a diaphragm coating of the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20, wherein in the case of FIGS. 2 to 4 different alternative embodiments of the diaphragm 25 are shown.
- an infrared radiation filter 29 is attached on the panel 25 and thus below the lid 5.
- the infrared radiation filter 29 selectively transmits infrared radiation of a predetermined wavelength range and absorbs other wavelength ranges.
- the attachment may be e.g. done through an adhesive layer.
- the IR radiation filter 29 may in principle also be used, for example. be attached to the underside of the lid 5.
- the infrared radiation source 2 emits along an optical axis A infrared radiation IR to the sensor module 3, wherein the gap serves as Absorptions ⁇ line 27 between the IR radiation source 2 and the sensor module 3, in which, depending on a respective gas concentration, for example the concentration of CO2, infrared radiation of the predetermined Wellen ⁇ length range is absorbed.
- Infrared radiation IR 1 which is emitted within an inner solid angle range about the optical axis A, subsequently enters the sensor space 23 through the window 6, the radiation filter 29, the inner diaphragm 25b of the diaphragm 25 and the cap chip 20 made of silicon and is absorbed by the absorber layer 16.
- outer infra-ray radiation IR 2 first passes through the window 6 of the lid 5 and the Strahlungsfil ⁇ ter 29, but is not transmitted by the outer aperture region 25 a and thus does not enter the cap chip 20th
- FIGS. 2 to 4 show alternative embodiments of the diaphragm 25 as a coating of the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20.
- FIG. 2 corresponds to the illustration of FIG. 1, in which the outer diaphragm region 25a is a reflecting coating of e.g. a metal, for example aluminum, etcbil ⁇ det and the inner diaphragm portion 25b is released.
- the inner IR radiation IR1 is transmitted and the outer IR radiation IR 2 reflected.
- the inner diaphragm region 25b is designed as an antireflective diaphragm coating.
- Such an antireflecting coating is designed in accordance with the compensation of an optical component and causes a destructive interference of the partial waves reflected at the upper boundary surface and lower boundary surface of the diaphragm area 25b.
- the thickness d of the inner diaphragm coating 25b is to be selected as a function of the wavelength ⁇ of the IR radiation and the refractive indices n1 of the silicon of the cap chip 20 and ⁇ 2 of the inner diaphragm region 25b.
- SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4 can be selected as the material of the inner diaphragm area 25 b.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which - as in FIG. 3 - the inner diaphragm area 25b is designed to be antireflecting and, in addition, the outer diaphragm area 25a is designed to be reflective.
- the outer diaphragm region 25a acts as a dielectric mirror with at least one dielectric layer.
- the outer diaphragm region 25a may be formed as a dielectric mirror, so that FIG. 4 represents a combination of the embodiments of FIGS. 2 and 3.
- FIG. 5 shows an infrared sensor arrangement 31, which substantially corresponds to the structure of the infrared sensor arrangement 1 of FIG. 1.
- a diaphragm 32 is formed by structuring.
- the diaphragm 32 in turn has an outer diaphragm area 32a and an inner diaphragm area 32b, which can be embodied differently according to the embodiments of FIGS. 6 to 10 described below.
- a plurality of smaller trenches 34 with a V-shaped cross section are formed on the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20 in the outer panel area 32a.
- Figures 7 and 8 show a corresponding embodiment with a smaller number of V-shaped trenches 34; In this case, for example, three V-shaped trenches 34 may be formed on each side of the inner panel area 32b.
- the trenches 34 extend in each case in a straight line and proceed according to the plan view of FIG. 7. teilhaft note not overlapping at their ends. They can be formed directly by applying a mask layer on the upper side 24 with subsequent etching, eg KOH etching. Here, the mask layer leaves the trenches 34 free.
- the etching edges in the usual (100) orientation of the cap wafer run along crystal planes, eg, (111) crystal planes, so that the V shape shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 results automatically; the etching process thus corresponds to that of the etching of the beam 23 on the underside of the cap chip 20.
- IR radiation IR1 incident on the inner diaphragm region 32b is therefore not influenced and passes through the cap chip 20 onto the absorber layer 16.
- IR radiation IR2 attributable to the outer diaphragm region 32a is obliquely inclined ⁇ falling side surfaces 40 of the trenches 34 multiple reflected.
- side surfaces 40 formed by KOH etching a largely complete reflection of the IR radiation IR2 is effected, in which multiple reflection, e.g. on two opposite side surfaces 40, the IR radiation is reflected away from the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20 upwards.
- IR radiation IR 2 can enter between the individual trenches 34 on the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20 and is not reflected by the oblique side surfaces 40, in the embodiment of FIG. 9 they are also complementary to the underside 22 of the cap chip 20 V-shaped trenches 36 formed corresponding to the trenches 34 on the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20, but these are arranged offset by half a pitch, ie a half distance between the trenches 34.
- edges 39 of the V-shape of the upper trenches 34 lie exactly between the edges 39 of the lower trenches 36 and vice versa, as can be seen by the dashed lines of FIG.
- the IR radiation entering between the upper V-shaped trenches 32 is reflected at the side surfaces 40 of the lower V-shaped trenches 36.
- the sensor space 23 in the lateral direction is smaller in the lateral direction than in the embodiment of FIG. 8, so that the flat area of the underside 22 of the cap chip 20 extends below the outer diaphragm area 32a in order to increase the design of the lower trenches 36 below the upper trenches 34 to allow.
- FIG. 10 shows a further possibility of forming the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20.
- the outer diaphragm area 32a is not reflective, but rather absorbent.
- the top 24 in the outer panel area 32a may be e.g. roughened by suitable etching.
- the roughened outer panel area 32a may be e.g. Have structures of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength ⁇ of the IR radiation; it can e.g.
- the so-called "black silicon" produced by plasma etching, the inner diaphragm region 32b is further transmissive.
- a sensor wafer is structured by forming the caverns 13, membranes 12, thermopile structures 14 and absorber layers 16. Furthermore, a cap wafer is produced in which the sensor spaces 23 are constructed in a manner known per se as Ka ⁇ verne be formed by eg KOH etching.
- the diaphragm 25 is subsequently applied to the upper side 24 by coating as a metal layer and / or a dielectric, optically transparent layer of a specific thickness with a reflective or antireflecting property, for example SiO 2 or Si 3 N 4.
- the structuring of the upper side 24 of the cap chip 20 is carried out by, for example, KOH etching.
- the V-shaped trenches of Fig. 6 to 9 is a corresponding mask technique used;
- the V-shaped trenches 36 are formed on the underside 22 of the cap wafer.
- roughening of the upper side 24 takes place with, for example, plasma etching.
- the sensor wafer and cap wafer can subsequently be placed on one another and fastened in the vacuum-tight connection regions 21.
- the wafer stack formed in this way can subsequently be singulated, as a result of which the individual IR sensors 9 and 30 are produced.
- the attachment of the IR radiation filter 29 can take place before or after singulation.
- the thus prepared IR sensors 9, 30 can be accommodated in the housing 4 with cover 5 accordingly.
