阶梯电压式下硅/BF33玻璃阳极键合工艺研究

    Study on Silicon/BF33 Glass Anodic Bonding under Staircase Voltage

    • 摘要: 阳极键合是微纳加工中实现硅和玻璃封接的常用方法之一。现有的阳极键合工艺是通过施加恒定的高电压和高温条件,促使硅/玻璃界面形成新的化学键从而实现二者的封接。本文提出一种阶梯升高电压的方式替代恒定电压,以提升阳极键合的性能。通过等效物理模型和实际测试结果分析不同电压条件下硅/BF33玻璃阳极键合过程的电流实时变化,计算了不同电压施加方式下的Na+转移量,并通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能量色散X射线光谱仪(EDX)对不同试验条件下的微观键合界面进行观察。结果表明:阶梯电压有利于形成更宽的耗尽层,增加界面化学键的数量。拉伸测试验证BF33玻璃和硅键合强度得到明显的提升,能满足一般器件的预定封装要求。对具有厚度为120 nm的Pt/Ti金属台阶微结构的硅/BF33玻璃非平面界面,基于阶梯电压的键合方式可减小台阶边缘处的缝隙,改善了键合界面的密封效果。该研究结果对改善阳极键合质量,扩大工艺的适用范围具有促进作用。

       

      Abstract: Anodic bonding is a common method for achieving silicon-to-glass encapsulation in micro-nano processing. The existing anodic bonding process involves applying a constant high voltage and high voltage temperature to induce the formation of new chemical bonds at the silicon/glass interface. A staircase waveform-based method instead of applying a constant voltage was proposed to enhance the performance of anodic bonding. Through equivalent physical model and actual test results, the change of bonding current during silicon/BF33 glass anodic bonding under different voltage conditions was analyzed. The transfer amount of Na+ under different voltage conditions was calculated, and the micro bonding interface was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). The results show that the staircase waveform-based voltage method contributes to the formation of a wider depletion layer, thereby increasing the number of chemical bonds at the interface. The bonding strength of BF33 glass and silicon characterized by tensile tests improves obviously, which can fulfill the requirements for the encapsulation of general devices. For the non-planar interface silicon/BF33 glass with Pt/Ti metal step microstructure with a thickness of 120 nm, the staircase voltage bonding method can reduce gaps at the edges of the step, which improves the sealing effect of the bonding interface. The research results promote the improvement of anodic bonding quality and expand the application range of the process.
