Technical field
The present invention relates to test with metering engineering device technique field more particularly to it is a kind of calibration be used in chip capacitor standard component and its
Preparation method.
Background technique
MEMS wafer chip test system is each MEMS development and production unit for batch, quickly test chip features parameter,
The special test equipment evaluated chip performance, reject unqualified chip is mainly used for testing the plates capacitance value (electricity of MEMS device
Hold parameter) characteristic, accurately measure these parameters for guaranteeing MEMS product accurately and reliably and to ensure that yield rate has extremely heavy
The meaning wanted.

Part.
The purpose of capacitance measurement be by measurement comb teeth capacitor in fix the small electric capacitance between tooth or movable teeth,
According to electrical parameter and then corresponding physical parameter such as acceleration value is derived, to complete the design work of accelerometer.Therefore,
The accurate measurement of capacitance parameter is especially significant to the quality of final products to wafer.
Below by taking the wafer built-in testing of MEMS capacitance accelerometer product as an example, capacitance parameter test process and its important
Property.Typical MEMS capacitance accelerometer structure is as shown in Fig. 2, be comb structure.I.e. sensing element is a bilateral comb structure,
The variation (such as extraneous acceleration) of extraneous non electrical quantity can be converted into the variation of capacitance by fixed tooth and movable teeth, for accelerating
The measurement of the physical quantitys such as degree.Mass block is H-type, and mass block is fixed on horizontal direction, mass block by four thin beams (such as a, b two o'clock)
With the variation of extraneous acceleration along horizontal direction free movement.Movable teeth is stretched out from mass block to two sides, (such as with fixed tooth
C, d two o'clock) form two electrodes of capacitor, several groups electrode is interconnected, form differential detection electrode, thus measure it is extraneous plus
The variation of speed signal.
In Theoretical Design, the value of comb teeth capacitor is by design, and the chip that actual processing comes out wishes that capacitance is most
Amount meets design value.The final response of accelerometer product is directly related to capacitance, therefore in order to obtain the spy of accelerometer
Property, it is necessary between the fixed tooth of precise measurement, between movable teeth, or the capacitance between fixed tooth and movable teeth.In view of
MEMS wafer chip test system capacitance parameter accuracy needs to carry out such system whole meter to the significance of product quality
Amount calibration, also avoids in this way due to quasi-instrument each in frequent disassembling system (such as matrix switch, LCR measuring instrument, power module)
The inconsistent situation of the systematic entirety energy that may cause, traces to the source to realize in the entirety of chip capacitor magnitude, it is ensured that magnitude is quasi-
Really, the smooth development for unanimously, ensureing the road Liao Qian process procedure and rear road test encapsulation link, avoids the waste of packaging cost,
Improve production efficiency.
Technological means and product that the country is disclosed cannot achieve the metering to MEMS wafer chip test system capacitor
Calibration, the calibration program that instrument producer takes is to calibrate the composition instrument separate unit of system, and separate unit instrument accurately cannot
Guarantee the accurate of probe end face, this is because influence amount of the measurement result of probe end face by outside electromagnetic interference and probe system
It is larger, it can not be eliminated in this way due to lead, probe card, probe station bring influence amount;MEMS producer makees frequently with test product
To verify part, the drawbacks of this way is the long-time stability that operator does not have means to guarantee verifying part, moreover is unable to measure it
Accuracy.Above two means second is that not can guarantee its accuracy, therefore cannot achieve electricity first is that probe end face can not be calibrated to
Hold parameter to trace to the source, is unable to reach that magnitude is accurate, consistent purpose.
The relevant report in piece standard component of link is surveyed in the document needleless centering of the open report of foreign countries.NIST only to MEMS most
Five in one reference standard substance applied by the test macro of finished product (such as mems accelerometer, MEMS gyroscope etc.)
(RM8096 has carried out related elaboration to RM8097) and has sold as product.Such standard substance can measure the eight of MEMS product
Big technical characteristic (Young's modulus, step height, overstrain, strain gradient, plane length, residual stress, stress gradient, cross
Cantilever thickness).But these parameters are the characterisitic parameters of final products, rather than " middle survey link " wafer mentioned by this paper is surveyed
Needed for the examination stage.
