Description

一种基于倒装焊封装的甲烷传感器及其制备方法与应用 技术领域
本发明涉及一种甲烷传感器及其制备方法,特别是一种适用于工矿物联网中使用的基于倒装焊封装的甲烷传感器及其制备方法与应用。
背景技术
随着物联网的发展,当前的甲烷传感器无法满足单兵装备对低功耗、长寿命、低成本的检测低浓度甲烷的甲烷传感器的需求。目前用于煤矿井下检测低浓度甲烷的仍是基于传统铂丝加热的催化燃烧式甲烷传感器,其功耗较大,尤其是催化剂的使用导致甲烷检测性能不稳定、校验时间短等缺点;而红外甲烷传感器价格高、传感元件受粉尘与水汽严重影响;这两种甲烷传感器都不能很好的满足物联网对低功耗甲烷传感器的应用需求。而其它的甲烷传感器亦无法适应煤矿井下高湿度的环境。

针对上述技术目的,本发明的目的是基于MEMS加工技术与倒装焊封装技术实现的,具体如下:该基于倒装焊封装的微型甲烷传感器包括单片高温加热器、单片甲烷气体检测器和环境温度检测器;

所述测温元件设有测温单元、两个对称设置的连接臂,2个对称设置的支撑臂;所述测温单元、连接臂、支撑臂、固定端B依次相连;所述测温单元与单片高温加热器的高温加热单元结构形状相同,尺寸稍大;所述键合支撑端、固定端B均相互独立的设在支座B上的埋层氧化硅上;若在支座B上设有环境温度检测器,则环境温度检测器与固定端B及若干键合支撑端相互独立、不存在硅层上的连接;所述键合支撑端、固定端B均由硅层加工而成,均包括硅层、设在硅层外的氧化硅层、设在氧化硅层上的金属层;固定端B的硅层内设有掺杂硅层,金属层通过氧化硅层的窗口与固定端B的掺杂硅层直接接触构成欧姆接触;测温元件由硅层加工而成,并在硅层的外表面设有钝化保护层,悬在空气中的测温元件通过固定端固定在支座B上的埋层氧化硅上,两个固定端构成测温元件的电通路的两个端子;
单片甲烷气体检测器的正面与单片高温加热器的正面平行相对,对准后通过金属凸点的金属键合实现二者的紧密固定与电连接;对准后的单片甲烷气体检测器在单片高温加热器上的投影特征为:单片甲烷气体检测器的2个固定端分别与单片高温加热器的2个键合固定端重合,单片甲烷气体检测器的键合支撑端分别与单片高温加热器对应的支撑端重合,测温单元的中心与单片高温加热器的高温加热单元的中心重合,二者的中心到各自的支座具有相同的距离;单片甲烷气体检测器与单片高温加热器通 过金属凸点金属键合固定后,测温单元与单片高温加热器的高温加热单元之间的距离范围为3至200um;单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件通过两个固定端B、单片高温加热器的两个键合固定端及其上的金属凸点、与键合固定端相连接的两个电极引出端在单片高温加热器上构成一个二端子器件,并在所述的与键合固定端相连接的两个电极引出端上进行引线键合可实现与外部电路的连接;

有益效果,本发明的微型甲烷传感器的首先以SOI硅圆片为衬底采用MEMS工艺加工单片高温加热器、单片甲烷气体检测器与境温度检测器,继而采用倒装焊封装方法获得本发明的基于倒装焊封装的微型甲烷传感器,由于采用了上述方案,具有以下有效效果:
1、本发明的甲烷传感器不使用催化剂,使用单片高温加热器与单片甲烷气体检测器便可实现低浓度甲烷气体的检测;同时,本发明的甲烷传感器对甲烷的检测无需氧气参与,因此不受空气中氧气的影响;
2、本发明的单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件具有与单片高温加热器的加热元件相同的形状,且通过叠层的形式面面平行相对,使本发明的单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件具有更大的受热面积,而独立的高温加热单元与独立的温度检测器的单片集成方式则无法实现本发明温度检测器大的感热面积,因此使本发明的单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件能更加有效的独立感受高温加热单元的温度变化信息;上述因素都使得 本发明的甲烷传感器具有更高的灵敏度;
3、本发明的甲烷传感器不含有催化剂与催化载体,因此,传感器的性能不受催化剂的影响,不存在催化剂活性降低导致的灵敏度降低、中毒、激活等问题;
4、本发明的甲烷传感器的硅加热器与单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件都悬在空气中且远离各自的支座,距离大于300um以上,以较低的电功率即可将硅加热器加热到500℃以上的高温,因此具有功耗低的优势;其次,本发明的单片高温加热器的加热元件与单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件相互独立,没有直接接触,即不存在固态介质连接,因此不存在从加热元件到测温元件的热传导形式的能量损失,因此有效降低了单片高温加热器的加热元件的加热到工作状态时的功耗;并且,本发明的甲烷传感器仅单片高温加热器的一个加热元件需要加热到高温;单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件与环境温度检测器都只需极低的电流即可工作,而无需加热至高温,因此单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件与环境温度检测器的功耗都极低;并且,在使用时,单片甲烷气体检测器位于单片高温加热器的下方,这也有助于降低高温加热器的加热元件的功耗;上述的综合措施使本发明的甲烷传感器的整体功耗得以大幅降低;
5、本发明的单片高温加热器的加热元件、单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件、环境温度检测器的测量电阻都是硅材料,使得加工工艺统一、简单、成本较低;
6、本发明的单片高温加热器的加热元件、单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件都是采用性能稳定的单晶硅加工得到,这使本发明的甲烷传感器在高温工作状态下具有良好的稳定性与长的寿命;这是因为单晶硅不存在铂、钨等金属加热材料在500摄氏度以上的高温容易挥发、迁移等缺点、也不存在多晶硅电阻在高温下晶界电阻易于变化、无法掌控的缺点;同时,在本发明的单片高温加热器的加热元件、单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件及环境温度检测器的测量电阻的外表面设置的钝化层也降低了外界环境对上述元器件的影响,从而进一步提高了本发明的甲烷传感器性能的稳定性;
7、本发明的微型甲烷传感器的单片高温加热器的加热元件、单片甲烷气体检测器的测温元件及环境温度检测器实现了结构上的独立,不再受传统的单一元件加热与测温功能复用的限制,可以单独调控加热元件、同时单独对测温元件进行检测,加热与测温不存在耦合,从而可对加热元件与测温元件分别进行精确的调控,这使本发明的甲烷传感器可具有多种工作模式,且使调控配置简单、灵活,继而提高甲烷传感器的智能化水平及传感性能;
8、本发明的环境温度检测器用于独立检测环境温度,这为本发明的甲烷检测提 供了与加热元件、测温元件距离最近、最真实的温度数据,有利于温度补偿特性的提高、同时也为甲烷传感器智能化提供了良好基础;
9、本发明的甲烷传感器采用MEMS工艺加工,尺寸小不但使传感器功耗低,并且响应速度快,可达40ms左右;由于采用自加热效应低的单片甲烷气体检测器检测甲烷浓度,其热噪声的降低使传感器的灵敏度得到提高;
10、本发明的甲烷传感器可采用CMOS工艺批量生产,可具有良好的一致性,因此还可批量校准,因此能进一步提高传感器性能并降低传感器校准环节的成本;
