Description

MEMS传感器及电子设备MEMS sensors and electronic equipment 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及换能领域,更具体地,涉及一种MEMS传感器,以及应用此传感器的电子设备。The present invention relates to the field of energy conversion, and more specifically, to a MEMS sensor and an electronic device using the sensor.
背景技术Background technique
现有主流的传感器,例如麦克风、压力传感器、位移传感器等,均是通过平板电容器的原理进行检测。例如在麦克风的结构中,通常包括衬底以及形成在衬底上的背极板、振膜,其中,背极板与振膜之间具有间隙,使得背极板、振膜共同构成了平板式的电容器感测结构。Existing mainstream sensors, such as microphones, pressure sensors, displacement sensors, etc., are all detected by the principle of plate capacitors. For example, in the structure of a microphone, it usually includes a substrate and a back plate and a diaphragm formed on the substrate. There is a gap between the back plate and the diaphragm, so that the back plate and the diaphragm together form a flat plate. Capacitor sensing structure.
这种结构的麦克风,由于空气粘度造成的间隙或穿孔中的空气流动阻力成为MEMS麦克风噪声的主导因素,从而会在一定程度上限制麦克风的高信噪比性能,最终会导致麦克的性能不佳。For microphones with this structure, the gap or air flow resistance in the perforations caused by air viscosity becomes the dominant factor in the noise of MEMS microphones, which will limit the high signal-to-noise ratio performance of the microphone to a certain extent, and ultimately lead to poor performance of the microphone. .
对于传统无背板的磁传感器结构,磁传感器和磁体分别放置在两个相对移动的平面上,声压会使振膜在平面外变形,从而改变GMR和磁体之间的间隙。这种结构的传感器,需要精确控制静止位置的间隙,另外还需要在两个平面上将磁体和GMR对齐,这对于半导体制造来说不容易。For the traditional magnetic sensor structure without backplane, the magnetic sensor and the magnet are respectively placed on two relatively moving planes, and the sound pressure will deform the diaphragm out of the plane, thereby changing the gap between the GMR and the magnet. The sensor with this structure needs to accurately control the gap of the static position, and also needs to align the magnet and the GMR on two planes, which is not easy for semiconductor manufacturing.

本发明提供的MEMS传感器,可以是MEMS压力传感器、MEMS气体传感器、MEMS麦克风、MEMS温度传感器、MEMS湿度传感器、MEMS位移传感器,或者是本领域技术人员所熟知的其它传感器。例如当应用到压力传感器中时,敏感膜对外界的压力敏感,外界压力的变化会驱动敏感膜发生形变。当应用到位移传感器中时,可以设置一驱动杆与敏感膜连接在一起,通过驱动杆推动敏感膜发生形变,在此不再一一列举。The MEMS sensor provided by the present invention may be a MEMS pressure sensor, a MEMS gas sensor, a MEMS microphone, a MEMS temperature sensor, a MEMS humidity sensor, a MEMS displacement sensor, or other sensors well known to those skilled in the art. For example, when applied to a pressure sensor, the sensitive membrane is sensitive to external pressure, and changes in external pressure will drive the sensitive membrane to deform. When applied to a displacement sensor, a driving rod can be set to connect with the sensitive film, and the sensitive film is pushed by the driving rod to deform, which will not be listed here.
本发明还提供了一种应用上述MEMS传感器的电子设备,该电子设备可以是手机、平板电脑、智能手环、智能眼镜等本领域技术人员所熟知的智能设备。The present invention also provides an electronic device using the above MEMS sensor. The electronic device may be a smart device well known to those skilled in the art such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart bracelet, and smart glasses.
为了便于描述,现以MEMS麦克风为例,对本发明的技术方案进行详尽的描述。For ease of description, a MEMS microphone is now taken as an example to describe the technical solution of the present invention in detail.
本发明提供的一种MEMS传感器,包括承载在衬底上且位于平面内的敏感膜层,敏感膜层包括敏感部,以及与敏感部分离的固定部。在固定部与敏感部上设置磁检测机构,当外界的声音作用到敏感部上后,敏感部在垂直于其表面的方向上振动,以使磁检测机构输出变化的电信号。The MEMS sensor provided by the present invention includes a sensitive film layer carried on a substrate and located in a plane. The sensitive film layer includes a sensitive part and a fixed part separated from the sensitive part. A magnetic detection mechanism is arranged on the fixed part and the sensitive part. When the external sound acts on the sensitive part, the sensitive part vibrates in a direction perpendicular to its surface, so that the magnetic detection mechanism outputs a changing electrical signal.
具体地,参考图3,固定部1a和敏感部1b从同一敏感膜层分离出来,该敏感膜层在MEMS制造工艺中,是同时沉积在衬底上,并可通过刻蚀间隙7的工艺分离开。其中,敏感部1b的部分边缘可连接在衬底上,其它部分可悬置在衬底(图3未示出)上,使其对外界声音敏感。该蚀刻的间隙7还利于敏感部1b两侧的均压。Specifically, referring to FIG. 3, the fixed portion 1a and the sensitive portion 1b are separated from the same sensitive film layer. The sensitive film layer is simultaneously deposited on the substrate during the MEMS manufacturing process, and can be separated by the process of etching the gap 7 open. Among them, part of the edge of the sensitive part 1b can be connected to the substrate, and other parts can be suspended on the substrate (not shown in FIG. 3) to make it sensitive to external sound. The etched gap 7 is also conducive to pressure equalization on both sides of the sensitive part 1b.
固定部1a则连接在衬底(图3未示出)上,其对外界的声音不敏感。在MEMS制造工艺中,在敏感膜层未释放之前,敏感膜层处于同一水平面上。例如在三轴坐标系中,敏感膜层处于XY平面内。The fixing portion 1a is connected to the substrate (not shown in FIG. 3) and is not sensitive to external sounds. In the MEMS manufacturing process, before the sensitive film is released, the sensitive film is on the same level. For example, in a three-axis coordinate system, the sensitive film is in the XY plane.
磁检测机构包括设置在敏感部1b上的磁体6,磁体6的磁化方向在Z轴方向上。磁体6可以是磁性薄膜的形式,磁性薄膜可以直接采用磁性材质,也可以是形成薄膜后对该薄膜进行磁化。在本发明一个具体的实施方式中,磁性薄膜可以采用CoCrPt或者CoPt材质。该磁体6可以通过沉积或者本领域技术人员所熟知的其它手段形成在敏感部1b上,在此对其不再具体说明。The magnetic detection mechanism includes a magnet 6 arranged on the sensitive part 1b, and the magnetization direction of the magnet 6 is in the Z-axis direction. The magnet 6 may be in the form of a magnetic thin film, and the magnetic thin film may be directly made of a magnetic material, or the thin film may be magnetized after being formed. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic film can be made of CoCrPt or CoPt. The magnet 6 can be formed on the sensitive part 1b by deposition or other means well known to those skilled in the art, which will not be described in detail here.
磁检测机构还包括设置在固定部1a上且分别在X轴方向上位于磁体6相对两侧的磁阻3。磁阻3优选采用巨磁阻传感器(GMR)、隧道磁阻传感器(TMR)或者各向异性磁阻传感器(AMR)等。通过采用高灵敏度的巨磁阻传感器(GMR)、隧道磁阻传感器(TMR)或各向异性磁阻传感器(AMR)来获得检测的电信号,可以保证检测机构的电学性能。The magnetic detection mechanism further includes magnetic resistors 3 arranged on the fixed portion 1a and located on opposite sides of the magnet 6 in the X-axis direction. The magnetoresistance 3 preferably adopts a giant magnetoresistive sensor (GMR), a tunnel magnetoresistive sensor (TMR), or an anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor (AMR). By using high-sensitivity giant magnetoresistive sensors (GMR), tunnel magnetoresistive sensors (TMR) or anisotropic magnetoresistive sensors (AMR) to obtain the detected electrical signals, the electrical performance of the detection mechanism can be guaranteed.
图3由于剖视位置关系,仅示意出了磁体6其中一侧的磁阻3。磁体6的两侧分别设有磁阻3,该两个磁阻3的中心至磁体6中心的距离相等,且两个巨磁阻的感测方向相同,均在X轴方向上。FIG. 3 shows only the magnetic resistance 3 on one side of the magnet 6 due to the positional relationship of the sectional view. The two sides of the magnet 6 are respectively provided with magnetic resistors 3, and the distance from the center of the two magnetic resistors 3 to the center of the magnet 6 is equal, and the sensing directions of the two giant magnetic resistors are the same, both in the X-axis direction.
图1示出了本发明磁检测机构的工作原理图,磁体位于两个磁阻中间的位置,且磁阻的磁化方向在竖直方向上。例如参考图1的视图方向,磁体的上端为N极,下端为S极,磁体的磁场方向由N极回到S极。两个磁阻的中心位置至磁体的中心位置相同,且磁阻、磁体均在同一表面内。两个磁阻的感测方向相同,例如两个磁阻的感测方向均朝向X轴的正方向。Fig. 1 shows the working principle diagram of the magnetic detection mechanism of the present invention. The magnet is located in the middle of the two magnetic resistors, and the magnetization direction of the magnetic resistors is in the vertical direction. For example, referring to the view direction of FIG. 1, the upper end of the magnet is the N pole and the lower end is the S pole, and the magnetic field direction of the magnet returns from the N pole to the S pole. The center position of the two magnetic resistances to the center of the magnet are the same, and the magnetic resistance and the magnet are both on the same surface. The sensing directions of the two magnetic resistors are the same, for example, the sensing directions of the two magnetic resistors are both facing the positive direction of the X axis.
对于本领域的技术人员而言,磁阻通常包括自由磁性层、非磁性层、固定层,自由磁层为磁阻的功能层。由于磁阻、磁体的尺寸不同,为了保证两个磁阻检测的性能,初始位置时,磁体的中心面与磁阻中的自由磁性层的中心面共面。For those skilled in the art, magnetoresistance usually includes a free magnetic layer, a non-magnetic layer, and a pinned layer. The free magnetic layer is a functional layer of magnetoresistance. Due to the different sizes of magnetoresistance and magnet, in order to ensure the detection performance of the two magnetoresistances, in the initial position, the center plane of the magnet is coplanar with the center plane of the free magnetic layer in the magnetoresistance.
当磁体在Z轴方向上发生位移时,例如当磁体向上发生位移时,两个磁阻感测到磁场强度的变化,其中一个磁阻的阻值变大,另一个磁阻的阻值变小,且变化量相同。例如图1中示出的磁阻R-、R+,该两个磁阻共同 可以构成惠斯通电桥,以输出检测的电信号。When the magnet is displaced in the Z-axis direction, for example, when the magnet is displaced upwards, the two magnetoresistors sense the change in the magnetic field strength, and the resistance value of one magnetoresistor becomes larger, and the resistance value of the other magnetoresistor becomes smaller , And the amount of change is the same. For example, the magnetic resistances R- and R+ shown in Fig. 1 together can form a Wheatstone bridge to output the detected electrical signal.
当然对于本领域的技术人员而言,磁检测机构中,也可以将磁体放置在固定部上,将磁阻放置在敏感部上。当敏感部振动时,同样可以使磁检测机构输出变化的电信号。将磁阻设置在敏感部上时,需要考虑将引线设置在敏感部上时,引线对敏感部的影响等。Of course, for those skilled in the art, in the magnetic detection mechanism, the magnet can also be placed on the fixed part, and the magnetic resistance can be placed on the sensitive part. When the sensitive part vibrates, the magnetic detection mechanism can also output a changing electrical signal. When installing the magnetoresistance on the sensitive part, it is necessary to consider the influence of the lead wire on the sensitive part when the lead wire is arranged on the sensitive part.
参考图3,磁体6、磁阻3均设置在敏感膜层上,鉴于磁体6、磁阻3的尺寸,为了保证磁体6的中心面与磁阻3中的自由磁性层的中心面共面,可沉积形成磁体6、磁阻3之前,可预先在固定部1a的位置沉积一层支撑层2,例如氧化硅。磁阻3形成在该支撑层2上,以提高磁阻3的高度。引线4可沉积在支撑层2上,并与磁阻3相连,以将磁阻3的信号引出。在磁阻3和磁体6的表面可以设置一层保护层5,以保护磁体6和磁阻3不受损坏。3, the magnet 6 and the magnetoresistor 3 are both arranged on the sensitive film layer. In view of the size of the magnet 6 and the magnetoresistor 3, in order to ensure that the center surface of the magnet 6 is coplanar with the center surface of the free magnetic layer in the magnetoresistor 3. Before the magnet 6 and the magnetoresistor 3 can be deposited and formed, a support layer 2, such as silicon oxide, can be deposited on the fixed portion 1a in advance. The magnetic resistance 3 is formed on the support layer 2 to increase the height of the magnetic resistance 3. The lead 4 can be deposited on the support layer 2 and connected to the magnetoresistor 3 to lead the signal of the magnetoresistor 3. A protective layer 5 can be provided on the surface of the magnetoresistor 3 and the magnet 6 to protect the magnet 6 and the magnetoresistor 3 from damage.
本发明的传感器,磁体、磁阻位于同一平面内,通过Z轴方向上的位移来实现磁阻电信号的检测,并最终通过磁体相对两侧的磁阻构成惠斯通电桥。这种传感器在制造的时候,容易控制磁体与磁阻的对准工艺,而且可以将磁铁、磁阻做得更小,实现了传感器的小型化发展,同时还易于提高传感器的检测性能。In the sensor of the present invention, the magnet and the magnetoresistance are located in the same plane, the magnetoresistance electric signal is detected by the displacement in the Z axis direction, and finally the Wheatstone bridge is formed by the magnetoresistance on the opposite sides of the magnet. When the sensor is manufactured, it is easy to control the alignment process of the magnet and the magnetoresistance, and the magnet and the magnetoresistance can be made smaller, which realizes the miniaturization and development of the sensor, and it is also easy to improve the detection performance of the sensor.
图2示出了本发明MEMS传感器另一种实施方式,磁体两侧的磁阻分别设置有多个,且两侧磁阻的数量及相对于磁体的距离一一对应。例如在图2示意出的实施例中,磁体M左侧设置有三个磁阻,分别记为R1-、R2-、R3-;磁体M右侧设置有三个磁阻,分别记为R1+、R2+、R3+。R1+、R1-对应起来,R2+、R2-对应起来,R3+、R3-对应起来。Fig. 2 shows another embodiment of the MEMS sensor of the present invention. There are multiple magnetoresistances on both sides of the magnet, and the number of magnetoresistances on both sides and the distance relative to the magnet are in one-to-one correspondence. For example, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, three magnetic resistances are provided on the left side of the magnet M, denoted as R1-, R2-, R3-; and three magnetic resistances are provided on the right side of the magnet M, denoted as R1+, R2+, R3+. R1+, R1- correspond, R2+, R2- correspond, R3+, R3- correspond.
在本发明一个具体的实施方式中,例如R1+、R1-的中心距离磁体M的中心为3μm;R2+、R2-的中心距离磁体M的中心为4μm;R3+、R3-的中心距离磁体M的中心为5μm。根据磁体M磁场分布的特点可知,不同距离的磁阻具有不同的线性区域、灵敏度、信噪比。设计人员可以根据实际需要选择合适的距离进行组合。In a specific embodiment of the present invention, for example, the center of R1+ and R1- is 3 μm away from the center of magnet M; the center of R2+ and R2- is 4 μm away from the center of magnet M; the center of R3+ and R3- is away from the center of magnet M It is 5μm. According to the characteristics of the magnetic field distribution of the magnet M, the magnetoresistance at different distances has different linear regions, sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio. The designer can choose the appropriate distance for combination according to actual needs.
图9a、图9b示出了不同距离的磁阻在磁场中的仿真。图中横坐标代表磁体在Z轴方向上的位移,纵坐标代表磁场强度Bx(T)以及磁场变化 梯度dBx/dz(T/m)。从这两张仿真图中可以看出,更近的距离导致更高的磁场强度梯度,因此灵敏度Sb(=dBx/dZ)更高,但具有更窄的线性区域,因此具有更窄的动态范围(或声学过载点,AOP),并且更难以在磁体、磁阻之间进行对准。如果将多个磁阻放置在同一传感器中,则可以获得最佳的性能。Figures 9a and 9b show simulations of magnetoresistance at different distances in a magnetic field. In the figure, the abscissa represents the displacement of the magnet in the Z axis direction, and the ordinate represents the magnetic field strength Bx(T) and the magnetic field change gradient dBx/dz(T/m). It can be seen from these two simulation graphs that a closer distance leads to a higher magnetic field intensity gradient, so the sensitivity Sb (=dBx/dZ) is higher, but it has a narrower linear region and therefore a narrower dynamic range (Or Acoustic Overload Point, AOP), and it is more difficult to align between the magnet and the magnetic resistance. If multiple magnetoresistances are placed in the same sensor, the best performance can be obtained.
本发明的MEMS传感器,在释放牺牲层的时候,敏感膜层在应力的作用下会发生一定程度的弯曲变形,这就导致敏感部上的磁体与固定部上的磁阻更难以对准。为此,本发明的MEMS传感器还包括预弯机构9,参考图4。In the MEMS sensor of the present invention, when the sacrificial layer is released, the sensitive film layer will be bent and deformed to a certain extent under the action of stress, which makes it more difficult for the magnet on the sensitive part to align with the magnetoresistance on the fixed part. To this end, the MEMS sensor of the present invention also includes a pre-bending mechanism 9, refer to FIG. 4.
预弯机构9包括敏感膜层上的悬臂部1c,该悬臂部1c与敏感部1b、固定部1a均分离开。例如可通过刻蚀的工艺对敏感膜层进行加工,以形成相互独立的固定部1a、敏感部1b、悬臂部1c。The pre-bending mechanism 9 includes a cantilever portion 1c on the sensitive film layer, and the cantilever portion 1c is separated from the sensitive portion 1b and the fixed portion 1a. For example, the sensitive film layer can be processed by an etching process to form the fixed portion 1a, the sensitive portion 1b, and the cantilever portion 1c that are independent of each other.
该悬臂部1c的一端进行固定,例如在MEMS结构中,悬臂部1c的一端可以固定在衬底上,另一端悬置在衬底的后腔中。在悬臂部1c的表面上沉积有一层应力层8。当悬臂部1c释放后,在应力层8的作用,改变悬臂部1c自由端与敏感部1b之间在Z轴方向上相对位置。图4示出了悬臂部1c自由端在Z轴方向上高于敏感部1b。One end of the cantilever portion 1c is fixed. For example, in a MEMS structure, one end of the cantilever portion 1c can be fixed on the substrate, and the other end can be suspended in the back cavity of the substrate. A stress layer 8 is deposited on the surface of the cantilever portion 1c. After the cantilever portion 1c is released, the stress layer 8 changes the relative position between the free end of the cantilever portion 1c and the sensitive portion 1b in the Z-axis direction. FIG. 4 shows that the free end of the cantilever portion 1c is higher than the sensitive portion 1b in the Z-axis direction.
敏感膜层在制造的时候,是通过沉积等工艺形成在衬底上,其具有均一的平整度。在悬臂部1c位置形成的应力层8可以根据实际需要选择拉应力层或者压应力层。当敏感膜层释放后,在应力层8自身的应力作用下,带动悬臂部1c相对于敏感部1b发生一定的翘曲(往上或者往下)。When the sensitive film is manufactured, it is formed on the substrate through processes such as deposition, and has a uniform flatness. The stress layer 8 formed at the position of the cantilever portion 1c can be a tensile stress layer or a compressive stress layer according to actual needs. When the sensitive film layer is released, under the stress of the stress layer 8 itself, the cantilever portion 1c is driven to warp (upward or downward) relative to the sensitive portion 1b.
在悬臂部1c与敏感部1b之间施加一定的静电力,使得敏感部1b可以在静电力的作用下往悬臂部1c的方向被吸引,从而改变了敏感部1b的位置。并且可以根据静电力的大小,来调整敏感部1b的位移程度,最终达到对准敏感部1b上磁体与固定部1a上磁阻的目的。A certain electrostatic force is applied between the cantilever portion 1c and the sensitive portion 1b, so that the sensitive portion 1b can be attracted toward the cantilever portion 1c under the action of the electrostatic force, thereby changing the position of the sensitive portion 1b. Moreover, the degree of displacement of the sensitive part 1b can be adjusted according to the magnitude of the electrostatic force, and finally the purpose of aligning the magnet on the sensitive part 1b with the magnetoresistance on the fixed part 1a is achieved.
图5示出了本发明一种MEMS传感器的具体实施例。在该实施例中,敏感部50通过其固定端500固定连接在衬底上,其它的位置均悬空在衬底上。敏感部50相对的两侧分别向外延伸出第一悬臂梁501,磁检测机构设置在第一悬臂梁501和固定部上。Figure 5 shows a specific embodiment of a MEMS sensor of the present invention. In this embodiment, the sensitive part 50 is fixedly connected to the substrate through its fixed end 500, and other positions are suspended on the substrate. The two opposite sides of the sensitive part 50 respectively extend a first cantilever beam 501 outward, and the magnetic detection mechanism is arranged on the first cantilever beam 501 and the fixed part.
具体地,在第一悬臂梁501上设置了磁体52,在第一悬臂梁501的两侧分别设置了第一磁阻单元53、第二磁阻单元54。同一个悬臂梁两侧的第一磁阻单元53、第二磁阻单元54构成了惠斯通电桥。不同悬臂梁之间的磁检测机构组合到在一起,共同输出变化的电信号。当然,对于本领域的技术人员而言,敏感部50同一侧的第一悬臂梁可以设置有多个,在此不再具体说明。Specifically, a magnet 52 is provided on the first cantilever beam 501, and a first magnetic resistance unit 53 and a second magnetic resistance unit 54 are respectively provided on both sides of the first cantilever beam 501. The first magnetoresistive unit 53 and the second magnetoresistive unit 54 on both sides of the same cantilever form a Wheatstone bridge. The magnetic detection mechanisms between different cantilever beams are combined together to jointly output changing electrical signals. Of course, for those skilled in the art, there may be multiple first cantilevers on the same side of the sensitive part 50, which will not be described in detail here.
预弯机构51设置在远离敏感部50固定端500的一侧。The pre-bending mechanism 51 is arranged on a side away from the fixed end 500 of the sensitive part 50.
在图6示意出的实施例中,与图5所示实施例不同的是,在第一悬臂梁5001的自由端设置有第二悬臂梁5002;磁检测机构设置在第二悬臂梁5002和固定部上。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is that a second cantilever beam 5002 is provided at the free end of the first cantilever beam 5001; the magnetic detection mechanism is provided on the second cantilever beam 5002 and fixed Ministry.
具体地,第一悬臂梁5001从敏感部上延伸出来,第二悬臂梁5002的中心位置与第一悬臂梁5001连接在一起,二者构成了T型结构。第二悬臂梁5002的两端分别设置有一个磁体,每个磁体相对的两侧分别设置有两个磁阻单元。Specifically, the first cantilever beam 5001 extends from the sensitive part, and the center position of the second cantilever beam 5002 is connected with the first cantilever beam 5001, and the two form a T-shaped structure. Two magnets are respectively provided at both ends of the second cantilever beam 5002, and two magnetoresistive units are respectively provided on two opposite sides of each magnet.
在图7所示的实施例中,与图5所示实施例不同的是,敏感部50相对两侧均为固定端500,固定连接在衬底上。敏感部50的其它位置悬置在衬底的后腔中,磁检测机构分布在敏感部50的中部位置。即,第一悬臂梁501分别在敏感部50中部区域相对的两侧。预弯机构51设置有多个,分布在敏感部50的中部位置,以保证敏感部50中部区域位置调整的均衡性。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the sensitive portion 50 has fixed ends 500 on opposite sides, which are fixedly connected to the substrate. Other positions of the sensitive part 50 are suspended in the back cavity of the substrate, and the magnetic detection mechanism is distributed in the middle position of the sensitive part 50. That is, the first cantilever beams 501 are respectively on opposite sides of the central area of the sensitive part 50. A plurality of pre-bending mechanisms 51 are provided, which are distributed in the middle position of the sensitive part 50 to ensure the balance of adjustment of the position of the middle region of the sensitive part 50.
图8a至图8h示出了本发明MEMS传感器的其中一种制造工艺流程图。8a to 8h show a flow chart of one of the manufacturing processes of the MEMS sensor of the present invention.
参考图8a,在衬底100上依次沉积绝缘层101、敏感膜层102。衬底100可以选用单晶硅衬底,其厚度可以为0.1-10μm。绝缘层101可以选用氧化硅,敏感膜层102可以选用多晶硅等本领域技术人员所熟知的材质。在敏感膜层102上继续沉积一层氧化硅,并对该氧化硅进行图案化处理,以在敏感膜层102的相应位置形成支撑层103。Referring to FIG. 8a, an insulating layer 101 and a sensitive film layer 102 are sequentially deposited on the substrate 100. The substrate 100 can be a single crystal silicon substrate, and its thickness can be 0.1-10 μm. The insulating layer 101 can be made of silicon oxide, and the sensitive film layer 102 can be made of materials known to those skilled in the art such as polysilicon. A layer of silicon oxide is continuously deposited on the sensitive film layer 102, and the silicon oxide is patterned to form a support layer 103 at a corresponding position of the sensitive film layer 102.
