Description

一种MEMS湿度传感器及制备方法MEMS humidity sensor and preparation method thereof 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及一种MEMS湿度传感器及其制备方法。The invention relates to a MEMS humidity sensor and a preparation method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
湿度是表征水蒸气在大气中含量的一个参数,一般表示为相对湿度(%RH),其值代表了空气中水蒸气的压力和相同温度下饱和水蒸气压力的比值。空气湿度与民众日常工作、生活和生产有着直接的联系,所以对于湿度的监测与控制显得越来越重要。然而,湿度的测量会受到其它因素(大气压强、温度)的影响,同时其校准也是一个难题,因此可以说,在常规的环境参数中,湿度是最难准确测量的参数之一。人们熟知的毛发湿度计、干湿球湿度计等已不能满足现阶段的实际需要。所以一直以来国内外对于湿度传感器的研究都比较活跃。Humidity is a parameter that characterizes the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere and is generally expressed as relative humidity (%RH), which represents the ratio of the pressure of water vapor in the air to the saturated water vapor pressure at the same temperature. The humidity of the air is directly related to the daily work, life and production of the people, so the monitoring and control of humidity is becoming more and more important. However, humidity measurement is affected by other factors (atmospheric pressure, temperature), and calibration is also a problem, so it can be said that humidity is one of the most difficult parameters to measure accurately in conventional environmental parameters. The well-known hair hygrometer, dry and wet bulb hygrometer, etc. can no longer meet the actual needs at this stage. Therefore, research on humidity sensors has been active at home and abroad.
随着人类步入信息时代,MEMS传感器作为捕捉信息的器件也随之迅速发展,在现代高度信息化的社会科技发展中占据着相当重要的地位。目前,湿度传感器已经在包括精密电子元件制造,航天导弹、火箭的储存,粮食的防霉,高空气象探测,农业种植等许多领域获得了广泛的应用。湿度传感器品种繁多,但就其所使用的感湿材料而言,主要有电解质和高分子化合物感湿材料、半导体陶瓷材料以及元素半导体和多孔金属氧化物半导体材料等。不过,电解质湿度传感器的测量范围窄、可重复性差,并且其使用寿命也较短;高分子化合物湿度传感器具有感湿性能好、灵敏度高等优点,但在高温和高湿条件下其性能降低、稳定性变差、抗腐蚀和抗沾污能力也减弱;半导体陶瓷材料湿度传感器具有感湿性能较好、生产简单、成本低廉、响应时间短、可加热清洗等优点,但这类传感器的精确度较低、高温下性能也较差、难以实现集成化;与以上多种感湿材料相比,多孔金属氧化物湿度传感器具有响应速度快、化学稳定性较好、承受高温和低温能力强,以及可集成化等优点,然而其实现工艺与常规的微电子工艺难以很好地实现兼容。As humans enter the information age, MEMS sensors, as devices for capturing information, have also developed rapidly, occupying a very important position in the development of modern highly informational social science and technology. At present, humidity sensors have been widely used in many fields including precision electronic component manufacturing, space missiles, rocket storage, grain mildew prevention, high air image detection, and agricultural planting. There are many types of humidity sensors, but in terms of the moisture-sensitive materials used, there are mainly electrolyte and polymer compound moisture sensitive materials, semiconductor ceramic materials, and elemental semiconductors and porous metal oxide semiconductor materials. However, the electrolyte humidity sensor has a narrow measurement range, poor repeatability, and short service life. The polymer compound humidity sensor has the advantages of good moisture sensitivity and high sensitivity, but its performance is lowered and stabilized under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Sexual deterioration, corrosion resistance and anti-staining ability are also weakened; semiconductor ceramic material humidity sensor has the advantages of better moisture sensing performance, simple production, low cost, short response time, and heat cleaning, but the accuracy of such sensors is better. Low- and high-temperature performance is also poor, and it is difficult to achieve integration; compared with the above various moisture-sensitive materials, the porous metal oxide humidity sensor has high response speed, good chemical stability, high temperature and low temperature resistance, and The advantages of integration, etc., however, the implementation process is difficult to achieve compatibility with conventional microelectronic processes.
