Description

Silicon saphire force-sensitive sensor and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of sensor of making the dynamic or static pressure of measuring liquid and gas and preparation method thereof, particularly a kind of pyrometric silicon saphire force-sensitive sensor and preparation method thereof that is applicable to.
Background technology
As everyone knows, high-purity monocrystal sapphire-alundum (Al monocrystal, its crystallization situation and monocrystalline silicon are similar.Therefore, on sapphire substrate, can utilize epitaxy technology to grow monocrystalline silicon.And quality can reach makes the integrated circuit requirement.Utilize the extension thin slice of sapphire-silicon, can make electron device-foil gauge of measuring stress.Utilize this foil gauge, can make senior force-sensing sensor.
This force-sensing sensor has following characteristics: in range ability, do not have and leaks, and safe; It is little to lag behind, and creep is little; Output signal is big, maximum 400mV.DC/mA.DC; Exceed nearly 2 orders of magnitude than traditional foil gauge; Between the sensistor, the insulation resistance height does not almost have electric leakage; Use wide temperature region, antipollution; Anti-nuclear radiation; Resistance to shock is good; The range broadness, as: from 0~10KPa to 0~700MPa, (or 0~0.01N to 0~10 8N) can both realize; Long-time stability are good, and the life-span is long.Just because of this, just determined that also it is one of at present best in the world sensor.From the sixties, just cause the attention of Aeronautics and Astronautics, military aspect widely.The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and the U.S. have made the silicon on sapphire pressure transducer that is used on rocket and the aircraft in succession.Except that being used for military going up, on industry (instrument) transmitter, also adopt the silicon on sapphire sensor, the processing technology more complicated of existing silicon on sapphire sensor, its traditional preparation method are to adopt to carve earlier the technology of afterwards pasting.Its preparation method mainly comprises:
Utilize the thick sapphire sheet of 200 μ m to carry out: polishing; The thick monocrystalline silicon of extension 2 μ m; In silicon, mix impurity, form P type silicon; Anneal again; Silicon oxide surface forms SiO 2Layer; Scribe strain resistor and more than 40 compensating resistance modulation resistor network, (though resistive surface has SiO 2Layer protection, but resistance tomography place silicon exposes); Scribe the pad window and (remove the SiO at pad place 2Layer exposes silicon layer); Vacuum aluminum-coated; Alloying Treatment (being silicon-aluminium alloyization); Carve aluminum pad; Test; Remove aluminum pad (to increase temperature during sealing-in, aluminium will with the violent chemical combination of silicon); Foil gauge is made in scribing; The strict foil gauge that cleans; Under vacuum, weld.Utilize the silver-bearing copper weld tabs that the silicon on sapphire foil gauge is welded on the stress cup; To the device that sealing-in has been welded, carry out mask and be coated with aluminum pad; Silicon-aluminium alloyization (both made under vacuum air-breathing, easily cause aluminaization) because of titanium; Test; Fixed insulation and the outer solder joint of lead-in wire (generally stick with glue receive the stress cup get on); The pressure welding internal lead; Test; Carrying out zero point adjusts; Carry out operation such as zero temperature compensation, measurement repeatedly.In whole manufacturing process,, make force-sensing sensor through 40 multiple working procedures.In application, also must carry out nonlinear compensation and carry out sensitivity temperature drift compensation (these non-linear and temperature drifts mainly because sealing-in cause) sensor.The processing technology complexity of this sensor, material is taken a lot of work, taken to long flow path, and wherein any procedure is made mistakes, and sensor all can be scrapped.Particularly following operation also exists the problem that is difficult to overcome:
One, with silicon-on-sapphire foil gauge etching good after, be sealed to again on the titanium alloy stress cup.Its existence:
1, the monocrystalline silicon strain resistor departs from easily in the sealing-in process, be difficult to the stress cup on cup internal strain district (internal diameter) symmetrical, the sealing-in skew can make the non-linear increase of sensor, yield rate is low;
2,,, the output characteristics of sensor is distorted so foil gauge and stress cup envelope can produce stress of sealing for after the one owing to uneven between stress cup front cover and foil gauge sealing surface;
3, during the scolder sealing-in,, also produce stress because flow of solder material causes layer inhomogeneous;
4, in the sealing-in process because the local venting of stress cup and anchor clamps thereof, making the selective oxidation of silicon resistance bar tomography, irregular all resistance changes, and will cause sensor zero point to change, the full scale nonlinearities change is when temperature influence, it is big that temperature drift becomes.
Two, first evaporation layer of aluminum film in processing foil gauge process must be removed before encapsulation.Because the encapsulation foil gauge is to the stress cup the time, sealing temperature is more than 700 to spend.Serious combination reaction will take place in aluminium and silicon.After aluminium was removed, easy remaining chemical drug and residual thing on the silicon window easily formed the separation layer that is unfavorable for Ohmic contact under sealing-in high temperature.
Three, after aluminum pad (rete) and the pressure welding of internal lead spun gold, easily form purple plague purpura, fragile, can only work below 150 ℃.Behind the pressure welding silicon silk, also can only be to use below 200 ℃.
Four, because be pressure welding internal lead on film,, the usability and the serviceable life of sensor will be influenced so resistance to shock is poor.
Five, in the sensor process, use poisonous and harmful substance in a large number, must strictly protect, increase manufacturing cost, in case reveal, not only environment is polluted, and infringement operator's health.
Therefore, the manufacture craft of existing sensor is anxious waits to improve.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of silicon saphire force-sensitive sensor and preparation method thereof, it is reliable in structure not only, assembling keeps the advantage of existing silicon saphire force-sensitive sensor easily, and fully excavating out it should have performance, and manufacturing process is simple, saving of labor, material-saving, the production efficiency height significantly reduces manufacturing cost, improve the quality and the measuring accuracy of product, effectively eliminate to the pollution of environment with to operator's injury.
