The technical field to which the invention belongs. The present invention relates to an application in the wet # 刻Device and method for real-time monitoring of thickness of dust-electric materials, especially a device and method for real-time monitoring of thickness of wet-etched quartz film. I. Prior technology 15 20 Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW: Surface Acoustic Wave) components are mainly used to make wave and resonators. They are widely used in mobile phones, pagers, wireless phones, satellite communication systems, audio and video signal processing and security, and anti-theft. , TV frequency converter and other systems. In mobile communication systems, new developments are moving towards high operating frequencies, thinness, shortness, and ease of mass production. And because the operating frequency of the vibrator is inversely proportional to the thickness of the substrate, in order to achieve the operating frequency of f, the thickness of the substrate must be made thinner. Generally, thinner substrates are obtained through three techniques: wet, plasma, and mechanical grinding. Among them, the plasma etching control frequency is the most accurate, but the equipment is the most expensive; and mechanical grinding is limited by mechanical operations and cannot obtain all the high operating frequencies (such as the limit thickness of quartz thin film is about 33 Satoshi, obtained;: 50MHz) , And not easy to mass produce. In terms of the difficult-to-etch process = but the pure etch rate has a uniform relationship with temperature, concentration, time, and whether it is taught or not, so usually in the process of mass production, the etching depth is the time required for 2 etches; or in immersion In the case of engraved liquid—section engraving, it is impossible to accurately obtain: “It is quite inconvenient to take out the substrate” 7 25 595024 5,942, 1G0 “Crystal EtehMGn—” The quartz system is regarded as an electroplating system, one electrode is grounded, and the -electrode is connected to the -monitoring plate; because the quartz and the monitoring plate work simultaneously, the thickness of the quartz can be detected immediately. However, the limit of the monitoring frequency is about and in the entire etching system Only the single-quartz film can be used to measure the frequency. In the secret engraved towel, it can be accurately known that the pressed material_thick material is extremely complicated in the subsequent process and frequency control. ^^ ^ ±, ^ In the surface acoustic wave device of the eye, the piezoelectric material is in the range of several micrometers to hundreds of micrometers. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a method for measuring the micrometer-level piezoelectric material in the "residual liquid." The content of the invention is to provide—species钱 _ 电 材料 15 The thickness of the piezoelectric material thin film, without the need to move the piezoelectric material to the empty process toilet, -1 Duo /, easy to monitor the thickness and convenient operation, and follow-up costs: Frequency control has a better effect, and reduces the cost in mass production to increase the accuracy of the thickness of the piezoelectric material. Another aspect of the invention—thickness from μ 丄 20 thickness ”, # provides—a kind of thick carved piezoelectric material, here The characteristics of accurate measurement of piezoelectric materials in the wet time. This device has high accuracy, simple structure, and easy mass production. The main steps include: forming at least one pair of 4-digit finger transducers on a first surface of a piezoelectric material 8202; and connecting the interdigital transducer with a frequency-controlled system And immersing a second surface of the piezoelectric material opposite to the second surface of the interdigital transducer in a wet coin engraving solution, so that the piezoelectric material immersed in the engraving solution Start the rest; input a voltage from the frequency system to one of the fingers Energy generator, so that the material will be generated due to the piezoelectric effect-surface acoustic wave, and the surface acoustic wave is transmitted to another corresponding finger transducer, and the corresponding interdigital transducer receives the surface acoustic wave and Converted into electrical signals and output to the monitoring frequency system: obtaining a center frequency plasticity of a surface acoustic wave through the monitoring frequency system to know the thickness of the piezoelectric material; and when the piezoelectric material reaches a slightly preset thickness, Take out the plutonium material and end the wet remaining moment. 15 = Ming applied to wet plutonium-the thickness of the plutonium material for real-time monitoring and replacement ^ Piezoelectric material-the first surface has at least-dual port interdigitated replacement benefit, the thickness The real-time monitoring device includes: a money engraved data holder, with 揸 f " support and mouth electric materials; a network analyzer, connected to the pair of interdigitated fingers: two devices, used for the secret engraving , Simultaneously monitor the rate of output ν β, ^, and a wet etched groove, which is output by the interdigitated moon changer b, with the piezoelectric material 20

The shape transducer will convert the received surface acoustic wave into telecommunications. "'The center frequency response of the surface acoustic wave is obtained by the network analyzer, and the thickness of the piezoelectric material is detected. 9 595024 4. Embodiments' The present invention The thickness of the wet-etched piezoelectric material in the instant includes a piezoelectric material, at least-Shuangchun in the forward direction of the piezoelectric material = fork; 5-shaped transducer,-supporting and fixing the piezoelectric material engraved support Frame, a monitoring frequency system connected to the pair of finger transducers, and a wet etched groove in contact with the back of the piezoelectric material, wherein the piezoelectric material may include quartz, LiNb03, LiTa03, PZT_8 A, or Zn〇, Quartz is preferred: This is because it has excellent performance, stable processing, large resistivity, and a small dielectric constant of 10. The m-type finger transducer is preferably composed of metal, through yellow light and etching steps. The back surface of the piezoelectric material preferably includes an etching mask layer to form a desired piezoelectric film shape; and the monitoring frequency system is preferably a two-network analyzer, wherein the monitoring frequency system can be used with multiple pairs of interdigital fingers. Connected transducers, use monitoring It monitors the thickness of multiple piezoelectric films at the same time. 15 For the interdigitated transducer, its structure is described in many :: It is mainly divided into two types. One is that the electrode strips intersect and are configured. The two ends are connected together by bus bars, as if the two combs are staggered together, as shown in Figure 4. The other is a pair of opposite electrode bars arranged across each other, and the two ends are held together by bus bars, as shown in Figure 5. Shown. In these two types of interdigital transducers, the width of the electric 20-pole strip Η and the distance S between the electrode strips are usually the same, and can produce surface acoustic waves of the same phase. The electrodes of the rigid interdigital transducer The width of the stripe and the distance between the electrode strips are usually equal to one-fourth of the surface acoustic wave wavelength. The latter also refers to the width of the electrode strips and the distance between the electrode strips is usually equal to one-eighth the surface acoustic wave. The shorter the overlap length of the interdigital finger, the longer the sound wave will be around the 10th emission, and the stronger the coupling, but it will cause the resonance peak to be nearly jagged, so I ¥ sigma is between 30 and 100 times the wavelength. The interdigital logarithm N On the other hand, the more radiated work, the stronger the signal that can be received. The limit of the number of eyes still has its limit. The sound wave transmission distance d of the two-finger transducer is an integer multiple of the wavelength ', but it should not be too close to cause electromagnetic feedthrough or too far to cause the transmitted signal to be unreceivable. After the wet-money engraving of the piezoelectric material is completed, it may further include a step for removing the pair of interdigital transducers. In subsequent processes, other sizes or types of electrodes are formed in the piezoelectric according to product requirements. The two sides of the material. In order to make your reviewing committee better understand the technical content of the present invention, the special embodiment of the special quartz applied to the quartz film is because the currently used [electric phase materials' quartz has high Q The value is ㈣ ㈣, high hardness and easy to obtain, and its description is as follows. The thickness of the quartz film from the right figure to the 咼 frequency is shown in Figure 丨, which includes forming a _chrome metal layer ㈣ on the back of a quartz film U0, and then Wei-layer gold and gold 130, the latter as a mask layer for wet engraving, the former is to increase the stone: the adhesive force of the thin film 110 and the gold metal layer 13 ° " Holding with yellow light and etching = in Shi Shiyang A patterned metal is formed on the back of the film 11 ; Read the _ metal layer on the front of the quartz 4 film 110, and then generate an input with the yellow light and osmium process, the t-shaped transduction state, the 14th floor, the output and the finger transducer 140b, the interdigitated pattern and this state Features are as detailed previously; connect this pair of interdigital transducers to the HP8714ES Network Analyzer 150 and attach a quartz film! 10 Support frame support 'immerse the back of the quartz film 110 in the wet etching solution of -NH4HF2, and etch the 595024 of the quartz film 110 exposed to the pure etching solution 16G, as shown in Figure 2; at this time, the network analyzer 15 An AC signal is input to the interdigital transducer 14a. The quartz film 110 generates a surface acoustic wave due to the piezoelectric effect. This surface acoustic wave is transmitted to the output interdigital transducer 140b. The output interdigital transducer The shape transducer 14b will convert the received surface acoustic wave into an electrical signal output, and the center frequency 200 of the surface acoustic wave is obtained by the network analyzer 15. As shown in Fig. 3a and Fig. 3b, the real-time thickness of the quartz film is obtained. . Among them, in the network analyzer 15o, because the relationship between the film thickness and the frequency of quartz in the liquid, as shown in Figure 6, when the film thickness in the micron range, you can use the frequency 1515 to infer the film thickness, and When the film thickness is greater than the wavelength of several surface acoustic waves, the rate is almost constant. This is because the surface acoustic waves generated by the quartz film are transmitted only on the surface of the quartz film. For thicker quartz films, the liquid in contact with the surface has no frequency. Influence; but when the film thickness is less than a wavelength of ^ sound waves, the frequency linearly decreases as the film thickness becomes smaller. When the quartz film starts to ㈣, the network analyzer 15 () will show the relationship with the insertion loss The figure is shown in Figure 3a. At this time, the highest insertion ^ = is defined as the center frequency of £ 1. When the thickness of the quartz film is gradually: When the ideal thickness is reached, the 'center frequency will move to the target value f2, and the rate reaches as shown in the figure. Corresponding value shown in 6 'can be used to know that the quartz is currently in use. In this embodiment, the finger-shaped transducer used is ^
