Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to a method of forming a gap in the field of microelectronics, and more particularly to a method of etching a sacrificial layer to form a gap. [Prior Art] [00〇2] In the microelectronic manufacturing process, especially in the MEMS manufacturing process, it is often necessary to form a gap between the two material layers. The current main method of forming the gap is to first form a gap between the two. A sacrificial layer is deposited between the materials, and then a portion of the sacrificial layer is removed by etching to form a gap. There are two main methods of etching, one is wet etching, and the other is dry method. [0003] [0004] [0005] 097100320 Wet etching is also called chemical wet etching, which is sacrificed by corrosive liquid corrosion. The layer layer removes the sacrificial layer, creating a gap between the two materials. The advantages of wet etching are lower cost and simple operation, and different materials can be selectively etched. However, the disadvantage is that isotropic etching, that is, the same rate of corrosion in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction, resulting in a low degree of patterning of corrosion formation. Dry etching is a very broad concept. All etching techniques that do not involve chemical etching are called dry etching. Among them, reactive ion etching is the most widely used dry etching. The advantage of dry etching is that it has anisotropic characteristics, and the etched pattern has a high resolution. However, its disadvantage is that it does not selectively etch the material, the etching process is complicated, and the method realizes mass production. ^ With the development of large-scale integrated circuit technology and micro-mechanical technology, the accuracy requirements of the micro-structure of the material are higher and higher, and the required number is in the form number _丨第4页/16 pages 10 1036474 100 years On October 12th, the gap formed between the shuttle replacement materials is getting smaller and smaller. To meet the design requirements, the sacrificial layer should be as thin as possible. However, after the sacrificial layer is thinned, it has two negative effects when it is etched: if wet etching is used, the precision of the fine structure cannot be satisfied, and since the gap is small, the material layers at both ends of the sacrificial layer are easily adhered. Phenomenon; if dry etching is used, although the precision of the fine structure can be well controlled, the reactive ion etching of the dry etching has higher energy, which may cause damage to materials other than the sacrificial layer due to insect attack, affecting the material.

Mastrange 1o, Tribology Letters, Vo 13, P223U 997)). The method first deposits a sacrificial layer on a material layer, forms a recess in the sacrificial layer by dry etching, and then deposits another layer of patterned material on the sacrificial layer to expose a portion of the sacrificial layer to form a sacrificial name. The window of the layer, because of the presence of the groove on the sacrificial layer, there is a downward bump on the layer of material. The sacrificial layer is removed by wet etching, and a gap is formed between the two material layers. The presence of the bumps prevents the adhesion of the upper and lower layers of the material. However, since the bumps are composed of the material layers themselves, they cannot be compared. The anti-adhesion phenomenon is ideally prevented, and the process of depositing another layer of patterned material on the sacrificial layer is complicated due to the existence of the groove on the sacrificial layer, so the whole process is cumbersome and unsuitable for mass production. [0007] In view of the above, an etching etching sacrificial layer forming gap 097100320 which is simple in process, suitable for mass production, and can effectively prevent adhesion between two material layers is formed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present technical solution relates to a method for forming a gap by a sacrificial layer, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate, depositing a first material layer on the substrate; depositing a sacrificial layer on the first material layer; Forming a patterned second material layer on the sacrificial layer, exposing a portion of the sacrificial layer to form an etched window; etching the sacrificial layer from the etched window by a dry method until the thickness of the sacrificial layer is reduced by 14 Shape on the sacrificial layer

In this embodiment, the thickness of the sacrificial layer 14 is 4 μm. [0017] (2) Forming a patterned second material layer 16 on the sacrificial layer 14. [0018] In this embodiment, a patterned second material layer 16 is formed on the sacrificial layer 14 by using a metal stripping process, which specifically includes the following steps: after the photoresist 18 is applied on the upper surface of the sacrificial layer 14, Photolithography etches a portion of photoresist 18 to form patterned photoresist 18, exposing portions of sacrificial layer 14; depositing a second material on patterned photoresist 18 and exposed sacrificial layer 14 by PECVD or LPCVD Layer 16; immersing the structure obtained in the above step in an organic solution, removing the patterned photoresist 18 and the second material layer 16 deposited thereon, and forming a patterned second material layer on the sacrificial layer 14. 16. 1003375865-0 097100320 Form No. A0101 Page 7 of 16 丄北4074 [0019] [0020] [0024] [0024] 100 years. October 12th is replaced by the second page The material of the material layer 16 is a metal, an alloy or a composite material, and the thickness of the second material layer 16 is not limited. The material of the second material layer 16 of the present embodiment is preferably metallic copper having a thickness of 10 nanometers. The organic solution is an organic solution of a photoresist such as acetone, carbon tetrachloride or chloroform. The thickness of the photoresist 18 is greater than the thickness of the second material layer 16, which ensures that the second material layer 16 deposited on the photoresist 18 does not overlap with the second material layer deposited on the exposed sacrificial layer 14. 6 A portion of the second material layer 16 deposited on the photoresist 18 is detached when the photoresist 18 is dissolved in the propylene layer, and is read to form a patterned second material layer 16 on the sacrificial layer 14. It will be appreciated that the method of forming a patterned second material layer 16 on the sacrificial layer 14 is not limited to the metal stripping process. (3) Dry etching a portion of the sacrificial layer 14. In the above step two, while the patterned second material layer 16 is formed on the sacrificial layer 14, the sacrificial layer 14 of the portion is exposed due to the removal of the photoresist on the sacrificial layer 14 and a portion of the second material layer 16. The etching layer 4 is etched from the etching window by a reactive ion etching technique in dry etching until the thickness of the sacrificial layer 14 is reduced by i - * rnmmm 3 : 5. After the last name is formed, a plurality of grooves 2 are formed on the sacrificial layer 14. In this embodiment, the sacrificial layer 14 of a certain thickness is first etched by a dry etching for a certain period of time, and the speed of the dry etching is calculated by the above time and thickness. ° Then, according to this speed, by controlling the etching time, the surname is sacrificed 097100320 Form No. A0101 Page 8 / Total 16 Page 1003375865-0 [0025] 1364074 100 years. October 12 nuclear replacement of the hundred layers 14, so that the sacrificial layer The thickness of 14 is reduced by 1, that is, the thickness of the sacrificial layer after dry etching is 2 micrometers. [0026] During this dry etching process, the material of the sacrificial layer 14 forms by-products due to the high energy bombardment of the sacrificial layer 14 by the ions, adhering to the inner walls on both sides of the groove 20, on both sides of the groove 20. The inner wall forms a protective film.

(4) wet etching the remaining sacrificial layer 14 while forming a gap between the first material layer 12 and the second material layer 16 such that the sacrificial layer 14 is adjacent to the first material layer 12 on the second material layer 16. A bump 22 is formed on one side. [0029] The structure obtained in the step (3) was placed in an etching solution, and after soaking for 3 minutes to 1 hour, the above structure was taken out, washed with deionized water, and then the above structure was dried using nitrogen gas. [0030] In the above immersion process, the sacrificial layer 14 is gradually etched in the above etching solution to dissolve into the etching solution, thereby forming a gap between the first material layer 12 and the second material layer 16. [0031] The etching solution is a buffer solution, and includes a mixed solution of HF and ΝΗ40Η, a mixed solution of HF and FH40H, or an aqueous solution of HF. 5。 The buffer solution has a ΡΗ value of 3-4. 5. In the present embodiment, the buffer solution is preferably a mixed solution of HF and ΝΗ40 , having a ΡΗ value of 4. [0032] During the etching of the sacrificial layer 14, the sacrificial layer 14 at the sidewall of the recess 20 is covered with a protective film composed of by-products, the protective film 097100320 Form No. 1010101 Page 9 of 16 1003375865-0 1364074 On October 12, 100, the shuttle q can reduce the speed at which the sacrificial layer 14 of the inner wall on both sides of the groove 20 is etched. Therefore, the sacrificial speed of the sacrificial skin 14 on the side wall of the groove 20 is smaller than the decay rate of the sacrificial layer 14 at the bottom of the groove 2'. Therefore, after immersing in the above buffer solution, the sacrificial layer 14 is close to the first material layer 12. The portion is first etched, forming a gap between the first material layer 12 and the second material layer 16, while the portion of the sacrificial layer material adjacent to the second material layer 16 remains, forming the bumps 22, and the second material layer 16 Connected. [0033] It can be understood that, at a certain wet cooking speed, the size of the bump 22 is related to the time of the wet touch. When the time is short, the bump 22 formed is larger. If the etching time is too short, a gap cannot be formed between the first material layer 12 and the second material layer 16; when the etching time is long, the formed bumps 22 are small, but if the time is too long, the gap cannot be A bump 22 is formed in the gap. [0034] The method for forming a gap between two material layers by the money-engraving layer 14 provided by the present technical solution 'is directly utilizing the sacrificial layer 14 itself in the first-material layer 12 and the second material layer 16 while forming the gap. A bump 22 is formed in the gap. The bump 22 can avoid the phenomenon of mutual adhesion between the first material layer 12 and the second material layer 16 due to the small gap, and the operation is simple and suitable for mass production. [0035] In summary, the invention 4 has met the requirements of the invention patent, and the patent application is filed according to law.
