表面聲波感測器之製作方法 Surface acoustic wave sensor manufacturing method

本發明涉及一種表面聲波感測器之製作方法。 The invention relates to a method for fabricating a surface acoustic wave sensor.

隨著生活水平之提升,人們越來越重視環境品質之管理,各式各樣之感測器產品開始因應而生,其中,表面聲波感測器由於靈敏度高、可靠性高,體積輕巧以及低廉之價格等優勢,被大量之開發成許多感測器元件(請參見P3K-3 Surface Acoustic Waves in an Infinite Plate of Functionally Graded Materials,Ultrasonics Symposium,2006.IEEE,2-6 Oct.2006,Page(s):2242-2245)。例如:用於偵測空氣粒子之氣體感測器、檢測水溶液之液體感測器、用於測量環境因數之壓力、溫度、濕度感測器,以及使用於生物體上之各類生物感測器等。該等感測器配合特定之感測薄膜,可於功能與待測目標物上做更進一步之細分。 With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to the management of environmental quality, and various kinds of sensor products have begun to respond. Among them, surface acoustic wave sensors are high in sensitivity, high in reliability, light in size and low in cost. The price and other advantages have been developed into a large number of sensor components (see P3K-3 Surface Acoustic Waves in an Infinite Plate of Functionally Graded Materials, Ultrasonics Symposium, 2006. IEEE, 2-6 Oct. 2006, Page (s ): 2242-2245). For example: gas sensors for detecting airborne particles, liquid sensors for detecting aqueous solutions, pressures for measuring environmental factors, temperature, humidity sensors, and various types of biosensors for use on living organisms Wait. The sensors are combined with a specific sensing film to further subdivide the function and the object to be tested.

表面聲波感測器包括一壓電基材、設置於壓電基材表面之輸入叉指電極(Interdigital Transducers,IDT)、輸出叉指電極以及設置於壓電基材表面且位於輸入叉指電極與輸出叉指電極之間之感測薄膜,該感測薄膜用於吸附氣體或液體中之微量待測分子。當於輸入叉指電極加上交流訊號後,壓電基材因逆壓電效應產生應變,將電能轉為聲波能,進而產生表面聲波,經由壓電基材 之壓電材料傳遞聲波能至輸出叉指電極,再通過正壓電效應將聲波訊號轉為電訊號輸出,以提供給外部儀器精確地解讀感測薄膜表面上之訊號之變化情形。當表面聲波傳播至壓電基材時,感測薄膜之吸附造成感測薄膜上微量之品質改變,由於品質載入效應(mass loading effect)影響,通過吸附特定氣體之感測薄膜之聲波能,將會改變其原先之傳播特性,而使得聲波之相位速度與衰減量產生某種程度之漂移量,偵測這些諧振頻率之漂移訊號即可定量分析其吸附於壓電材料表面之待測分子濃度。 The surface acoustic wave sensor comprises a piezoelectric substrate, an input interdigital transducer (IDT) disposed on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate, an output interdigital electrode, and an electrode disposed on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate and located at the input interdigital electrode The sensing film between the interdigital electrodes is output, and the sensing film is used to adsorb a trace amount of the molecule to be tested in a gas or a liquid. When an AC signal is applied to the input interdigital electrode, the piezoelectric substrate is strained by the inverse piezoelectric effect, and the electric energy is converted into acoustic energy, thereby generating surface acoustic waves, via the piezoelectric substrate. The piezoelectric material transmits acoustic energy to the output interdigital electrode, and then converts the acoustic signal into an electrical signal output through a positive piezoelectric effect to provide an external instrument to accurately interpret the change of the signal on the surface of the sensing film. When the surface acoustic wave propagates to the piezoelectric substrate, the adsorption of the sensing film causes a slight change in the quality of the sensing film, and the sound wave energy of the sensing film is absorbed by the adsorption of the specific gas due to the influence of the mass loading effect. It will change its original propagation characteristics, and cause a certain amount of drift in the phase velocity and attenuation of the acoustic wave. Detecting the drift signal of these resonant frequencies can quantitatively analyze the concentration of the molecule to be tested adsorbed on the surface of the piezoelectric material. .

感測薄膜通常採用化學氣相沈積法(Chemical Vapor Deposition,CVD)形成於壓電基材表面,然而,這種方法易造成感測薄膜表面不均勻,且與待測物接觸面積較小。 The sensing film is usually formed on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). However, this method is liable to cause unevenness in the surface of the sensing film and a small contact area with the object to be tested.

有鑒於此,有必要提供一種感測薄膜表面均勻且與待測物接觸面積較大之表面聲波感測器之製作方法。 In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a method of fabricating a surface acoustic wave sensor that senses a uniform surface of the film and has a large contact area with the object to be tested.

一表面聲波感測器製作方法,包括以下步驟:於一壓電基材表面鍍一感測材料層;採用奈米壓印方法於該感測材料層表面製作預定圖案;於鍍該感測材料層之步驟之前或於該感測材料層表面製作預定圖案之後,於壓電基板表面之位於該感測材料層之相對兩側形成輸入叉指電極及輸出叉指電極,得到一表面聲波感測器。 A surface acoustic wave sensor manufacturing method comprises the steps of: plating a sensing material layer on a surface of a piezoelectric substrate; forming a predetermined pattern on the surface of the sensing material layer by using a nano imprinting method; and plating the sensing material After the step of layer or after preparing a predetermined pattern on the surface of the sensing material layer, an input interdigital electrode and an output interdigital electrode are formed on opposite sides of the sensing material layer on the surface of the piezoelectric substrate to obtain a surface acoustic wave sensing. Device.

相較於先前技術,該表面聲波感測器之製作方法採用奈米壓印方法於感測材料層表面形成之預定圖案之精度可達到奈米級,因此可使感測薄膜表面均勻;且由於感測薄膜表面形成之圖案尺寸精度為奈米級,可使其與待測物質具有較大之接觸面積,提高感測效率及精度。另外,利用奈米壓印方法形成感測薄膜製程簡單, 適用於批量生產。 Compared with the prior art, the surface acoustic wave sensor is manufactured by using a nanoimprint method to achieve a predetermined pattern on the surface of the sensing material layer with an accuracy of nanometer level, thereby making the surface of the sensing film uniform; The dimensional accuracy of the pattern formed on the surface of the sensing film is nanometer, which can make a large contact area with the substance to be tested, and improve the sensing efficiency and precision. In addition, the process of forming the sensing film by using the nano imprint method is simple, Suitable for mass production.
