摘要
针对石油化工等领域中高温下较高压力测量的要求,设计了压阻式压力传感器敏感芯片,采用SIMOX技术的SOI晶片,在微加工平台上通过低压化学气相淀积法(LPCVD)均相外延硅测量层、浓硼离子注入、热氧化、光刻、电感耦合等离子体(ICP)深刻蚀、多层合金化等工艺流程制作了该芯片,将其封装后,研制出了高精度稳定性佳的耐高温压阻式压力传感器.封装工艺进一步改善后,该芯片工作温区有望拓宽到300~350℃.
To meet special applications,such as high temperature, high efficiency or high dynamic range sensors, piezoresistive detection with silicon on insulator (SOI) strain gauges seems to be a better solution than one with conventional bulk-silicon. The successful batch fabrication of a piezoresistive pressure sensor chip, based on separation by implantation of an oxygen (SIMOX) SOl wafer,is described. The micro machining process mainly includes SIMOX, homoepitax-y silicon, a heavy dose of boron ion implantation doping, thermal oxidation, a passivation layer of silicon nitride and standard optical lithography, inductively coupled plasma (ICP),multi-layer metallization and Au sputtering,etc. A sensor packaged with this kind of sensing chip has high accuracy and a good long-term stability in high temperatures up to 220℃. The results also show the potential to operate the device at temperatures up to 350℃ exists after issues relating to the packaging are resolved.
