Abstract

This paper describes anodic bonding characteristics of MLCA (Multi Layer Ceramic Actuator) to Si-wafer using evaporated Pyrex #7740 glass thin-films for MEMS applications. Pyrex #7740 glass thin-films with same properties were deposited on MLCA under optimum RF magneto conditions(Ar 100%, input power $1\;W/cm^2$). After annealing in $450^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, the anodic bonding of MLCA and Si-wafer was successfully performed at 600 V, $400^{\circ}C$ in - 760 mmHg. Then, the MLCA/Si bonded interface and fabricated Si diaphragm deflection characteristics were analyzed through the actuation test. It is possible to control with accurate deflection of Si diaphragm according to its geometries and its maximum non-linearity is 0.05-0.08 %FS. Moreover, any damages or separation of MLCA/Si bonded interfaces do not occur during actuation test. Therefore, it is expected that anodic bonding technology of MLCA/Si wafers could be usefully applied for the fabrication process of high-performance piezoelectric MEMS devices.

본 논문은 파이렉스 #7740 유리 박막을 이용한 MEMS용 MLCA (Multi Layer Ceramic Actuator)와 Si기판의 양극접합 특성에 관한 것이다. 최적의 RF 마그네트론 스피터링 조건 (Ar 100%, input power $1\;W/cm^2$)하에서 MLCA기판위에 파이렉스 #7740 유리의 특성을 갖는 박막을 증착하였다. $450^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리한 다음, -760 mmHg, 600V 그리고 $400^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 양극접합했다. 그 다음에 Si 다이어프램을 제조한 후, MLCA/Si 접합계면과 MLCA 구동을 통한 Si 다이어프램 변위특성을 분석 및 평가하였다. 다이어프램 형상에 따라 정밀한 변위 세어가 가능했으며 0.05-0.08 %FS의 우수한 선형성을 나타내었다. 또한, 측정동안 접합계면 균열이나 계면분리가 일어나지 않았다. 따라서, MLCA/Si기판 양각접합기술은 고성능 압전 MEMS 소자 제작공정에 유용하게 사용가능할 것이다.
