Description
技术领域Technical Field
本发明涉及微机电技术领域,特别是涉及一种MEMS麦克风及其制备方法。The present invention relates to the field of micro-electromechanical technology, and in particular to a MEMS microphone and a preparation method thereof.
背景技术Background Art
随着消费电子的飞速发展,麦克风行业也随之蓬勃发展。麦克风被广泛应用于消费电子、智能家居等领域,可以说凡是有声控功能的设备都需要它。近几年来,传统的驻极体电容麦克风由于匹配工作相对繁琐已经被MEMS麦克风所取代。With the rapid development of consumer electronics, the microphone industry has also flourished. Microphones are widely used in consumer electronics, smart homes and other fields. It can be said that all devices with voice control functions need them. In recent years, traditional electret condenser microphones have been replaced by MEMS microphones due to the relatively cumbersome matching work.
MEMS麦克风含一个可上下振动的膜片和固定的背极板,背极板具有优良的刚性并刻蚀有声孔,允许空气流通而不引起偏离,振膜可以随声波发生弯曲,造成振膜相对背极板移动,产生一定电容变化,再通过与MEMS麦克风连接的ASIC芯片将此微弱的电容变化放大转换成电信号输出。A MEMS microphone contains a diaphragm that can vibrate up and down and a fixed back plate. The back plate has excellent rigidity and is etched with sound holes, allowing air to flow without causing deviation. The diaphragm can bend with sound waves, causing the diaphragm to move relative to the back plate, producing a certain capacitance change. This weak capacitance change is then amplified and converted into an electrical signal output through an ASIC chip connected to the MEMS microphone.
现有的MEMS麦克风结构在振膜21上通常设置有褶皱结构,在同样面积的情况下有利于增大振膜振幅,但褶皱结构的凹槽会导致制备过程中,背极17部分随形生长,导致图1所示的虚线框示意的区域A应力集中,可能出现裂纹损坏等情况。另外,振膜的振幅过大或者振膜背极间存在导电颗粒时容易发生振膜和背极的吸合。The existing MEMS microphone structure is usually provided with a pleated structure on the diaphragm 21, which is conducive to increasing the diaphragm amplitude under the same area, but the grooves of the pleated structure will cause the back electrode 17 to grow with the shape during the preparation process, resulting in stress concentration in the area A indicated by the dotted box shown in Figure 1, which may cause crack damage, etc. In addition, when the amplitude of the diaphragm is too large or there are conductive particles between the diaphragm and the back electrode, the diaphragm and the back electrode are easily attracted.
发明内容Summary of the invention
鉴于以上所述现有技术的缺点,本发明的目的在于提供一种MEMS麦克风及其制备方法,用于解决现有技术中的MEMS麦克风在设置有褶皱结构的情况下,制备过程中会因背极的随形生长而导致与振膜的褶皱结构相对应的部分应力集中,导致背极出现裂纹,且振膜的振幅过大或者振膜背极间存在导电颗粒时容易发生振膜和背极的吸合等问题。In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a MEMS microphone and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems in the prior art that, when a MEMS microphone is provided with a pleated structure, stress concentration corresponding to the pleated structure of the diaphragm may occur in the preparation process due to the conformal growth of the back electrode, resulting in cracks in the back electrode, and the diaphragm and the back electrode may be easily attracted when the amplitude of the diaphragm is too large or conductive particles are present between the diaphragm and the back electrode.
