The present application claims priority to Europe Patent Application Serial No. 16169738.8 filed May 13, 2016 and entitled “FET Based Humidity Sensor with Barrier Layer Protecting Gate Dielectric” which is incorporated herein by reference as if reproduced in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to sensors, and more particularly to humidity sensors.
Capacitive and resistive type humidity sensors rely on the ability of a sensing material to quickly absorb and desorb water molecules. The absorbed moisture typically changes a physical property of the sensing material, and this change can be used to detect a change in humidity.
The present disclosure relates to sensors, and more particularly to humidity sensors. An illustrative humidity sensor may be a FET based humidity sensor with a FET source and a drain formed in a substrate, with the drain laterally spaced from the source. A gate stack is provided in the space between the source and the drain to form a FET transistor. The gate stack may include a gate insulator situated on the substrate to form a gate insulator/substrate interface. The gate stack may further include a barrier layer above the gate insulator. The barrier layer may be configured to act as a barrier to mobile charge, humidity and/or other contaminates, and may help prevent such contaminates from reaching the gate insulator/substrate interface. The gate stack may further include a humidity sensing layer above the barrier layer. The humidity sensing layer, when exposed to humidity, may modulate the conduction channel in the substrate under the gate insulator between the source and the drain. In some cases, the humidity level may be determined by monitoring the current flowing between the source and drain. In some cases, the substrate may comprise silicon, the gate insulator may comprise SiO2, the barrier layer may comprise one or more of Ta2O5, Al2O3, HfO2 and silicon nitride (Si3N4), and the humidity sensing layer may comprise one or more of a polyimide and a polysulfone. It is contemplated that other suitable materials and/or material combinations may be used.
The preceding summary is provided to facilitate an understanding of some of the features of the present disclosure and is not intended to be a full description. A full appreciation of the disclosure can be gained by taking the entire specification, claims, drawings, and abstract as a whole.
The disclosure may be more completely understood in consideration of the following description of various illustrative embodiments of the disclosure in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
While the disclosure is amenable to various modifications and alternative forms, specifics thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the intention is not to limit the disclosure to the particular illustrative embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
The present system and approach may incorporate one or more processors, computers, controllers, user interfaces, wireless and/or wire connections, and/or the like, in an implementation described and/or shown herein.
This description may provide one or more illustrative and specific examples or ways of implementing the present system and approach. There may be numerous other examples or ways of implementing the system and approach.
The following description should be read with reference to the drawings wherein like reference numerals indicate like elements throughout the several views. References to “over,” “under,” “top,” and “bottom,” etc., are relative terms and are made herein with respect to the drawings and do not necessarily correspond to any particular orientation in actual physical space. The description and drawings show several examples that are meant to be illustrative of the claimed disclosure.
Humidity sensors are used in a wide variety of applications. For example, humidity sensors are used for process control in industrial applications, air quality monitoring and control in homes and offices, and in automotive applications. Use of Relative Humidity (RH) sensors for cell phone and other mobile applications is expected to rise. Extensive use of humidity sensors in these and other applications may become more cost effective in part due to miniaturization and incorporation of such sensor technology into integrated circuits. Capacitive sensing principles can be implemented at the MOSFET transistor level to form a compact and inexpensive humidity sensor. In many cases, the humidity sensor and the associated electronics may be integrated on the same integrated circuit chip.
A FET transistor based humidity sensor may include a stacked gate that includes a sensing layer that modulates the conduction channel between the source and drain of the FET. The gate stack may include a gate insulator situated on a substrate to form a gate insulator/substrate interface. Given that the FET transistor based humidity sensor may be exposed to an ambient environment, and thus, to humidity and potentially more aggressive chemical (acid and base) contaminants and mobile charges (such as, but not limited, to sodium ions (Na+), potassium ions (K+), and/or magnesium ions (Mg2+)), which can reach and disrupt the insulator/substrate interface, it can be desirable to protect the insulator/substrate interface from direct contact with such contaminants, including humidity. As such, it is contemplated that the gate stack may include a barrier layer above the gate insulator. The barrier layer may be configured to act as a barrier to humidity, mobile charge and/or other contaminates, and may help prevent such contaminates from reaching and disrupting the gate insulator/substrate interface. Above the barrier layer may be a humidity sensing layer. The humidity sensing layer, when exposed to humidity, may modulate the conduction channel in the substrate between the source and the drain of the FET transistor based humidity sensor. In some cases, the humidity level may modulate the dielectric constant of the humidity sensing layer, which may modulate the threshold voltage of the FET transistor based humidity sensor. A gate electrode may be positioned over the humidity sensing layer. The gate electrode may be perforated or otherwise constructed to allow the humidity to reach the humidity sensing layer. Thus, by reaching the metal-sensing layer interface, the humidity can also change the work function difference between the perforated metal and the sensing layer, and thus the threshold voltage of the FET transistor, and thus the source-drain current of the FET transistor. The humidity level may then be determined by monitoring the current flowing between the source and drain of the FET transistor based humidity sensor.
In the example shown in
The illustrative gate stacks include a lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 extending between the n-type source 122, 132 and n-type drain 124, 134, respectively, of the sensing and reference n-channel FETs 120, 130. In some cases, the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 may be a thermally grown dielectric layer of SiO2 in the gate regions exposed by the etched away portions of the relatively thick layer 160 of SiO2. In some cases, the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 may have a thickness that is less than 500 nanometers, less than 250 nanometers, less than 125 nanometers, less than 50 nanometers, or may have any other suitable thickness. In some cases, the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 may have a thickness of about 100 nanometers.
The illustrative gate stack may further include a barrier layer 128, 138 disposed over the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136, respectively, of the sensing and reference n-channel FETs 120, 130. In some cases, the barrier layer 128, 138 may be a metal oxide layer (for example, but not limited to, tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), hafnium (IV) oxide (HfO2)) and/or a silicon nitride (Si3N4) layer having a high chemical resistance and high gravimetric density with respect to the lower gate insulating layer (e.g. SiO2). In some cases, the barrier layer 128, 138 may have a thickness in the range of 50-500 nanometers, 50-250 nanometers, 60-100 nanometers, or any other suitable thickness. The barrier layer 128, 138 may act as a mobile charge (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, etc.) barrier, and/or may block penetration of other chemical contaminants (humidity included) from reaching the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 and/or the lower gate insulating layer/substrate interface.
The illustrative gate stack may further include a humidity sensing layer 140, 150 above the barrier layer 128, 138 as shown. In some cases, the humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may be a hydrophobic dielectric polymer layer 140, 150 over the barrier layer 128, 138, respectively, of the sensing and reference FETs 120, 130. In some cases, the humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may be in the range of about 500-1000 nanometers thick, although other thicknesses may be used. In some cases, the hydrophobic dielectric polymer layer 140, 150 may be deposited by spin coating and then treated at 400 degrees C. in N2.
The humidity sensing layer 150 of the reference FET 130 may be covered and sealed by a dense metal layer 156 forming a gate electrode for the reference FET 130. In some cases, the dense metal layer 156 may be a relatively thick gold or platinum layer of about 0.7-1.0 μm prepared by sputtering and lift-off technology. In contrast, the sensing FET 120 may include a porous metal layer forming a gate electrode 146. In some cases, the porous metal layer 146 may be an ultra-thin gold or platinum layer of about 50-100 nanometers thick prepared by sputtering and lift-off technology. The porous metal layer 146 of the sensing FET 120 may allow water vapor to be exchanged between the humidity sensing layer 140 of the sensing FET 120 and the ambient atmosphere. The porous metal layer 146 may have a thickness in the range of 25-300 nanometers, 30-200 nanometers, 40-80 nanometers, or 50-60 nanometers, although other thicknesses may be used. In some cases, the metal of gate electrodes 146, 156 may be formed from aluminum, platinum and/or gold. In some cases, a protective porous hydrophobic dielectric polymer layer 162 may be disposed over the surface of the sensor 100.
As can be seen, the humidity sensing layer 150 of the reference FET 130 is not exposed to the environment while the humidity sensing layer 140 of the sensing FET 120 is exposed to the environment. In some cases, the entire surface of the sensor 100, excluding the gate stack of the sensing FET 120, may be covered with a final passivation layer 164. The passivation layer 164 may include a barrier material such as, but not limited to, SiO2, Ta2O5, Al2O3, HfO2, or Si3N4 to help protect the sensor 100.
In the example shown, regions of the protective porous hydrophobic dielectric polymer layer 162 and the passivation layer 164 may be selectively removed to provide pathways to the gate electrodes 146, 156. Gate contacts 148, 158 may be provided through the pathways to make electrical contact with the gate electrodes 146, 156, respectively. The gate contacts 148, 158 may be formed from aluminum, copper, gold, titanium/gold (Ti/Au), or other materials, as desired.
In both the sensing and reference n-channel FETs 120, 130, the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 and the lower gate insulating layer/substrate interface are sealed off from the environment by the substrate 110, the relatively thick layer 160 and barrier layer 128, 138. This helps protect the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 and the lower gate insulating layer/substrate interface from degradation due to interactions with mobile charge (Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, etc.) and/or other chemical contaminants (humidit included) in the environment. In some cases, this can significantly increase the robustness of the humidity sensor 100.
The humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may be a hydrophobic dielectric polymer. Example hydrophobic dielectric polymers may be selected from among many polyimides and polysulfones, and in some cases may incorporate aromatic polyimides and polysulfones and/or cross-linked polyimides and polysulfones. When the polyimides or polysulfones are cross-linked polyimides or polysulfones, the cross-linking moiety usefully may be one of the group consisting of 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-1,6-hexanediol; 1,5-pentanediol; 1,10-decanediol; and 1,4-benzenedimethanol. Cross-linking may be accomplished by esterification with pendant carboxylic acid groups of the polyimides or polysulfones.
As non-limiting examples of suitable hydrophobic polymers, the following polymers may be prepared and used to construct the humidity sensing layer 140, 150;
and an exemplary polyimide backbone segment may be
where R′ is selected from:
As well as polysulfones such as:
where R is selected from:
Exemplary humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may be applied to the barrier layer 128, 138 of the gate stack structures by spin coating and subsequently thermally treated at temperatures up to 400 degrees C. Patterning of the humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may be carried out by photoresist/etching processes although masked deposition may be used. The introduction of porosity into the deposited humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may allow the humidity sensing layer 140, 150 to be more responsive to changes in ambient humidity. It has been found that the thickness of the humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may affect the response time of the sensing FET 120 to changes in ambient humidity by delaying full equilibration. In some cases, the humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may be in the range of about 500-1000 nanometers thick, although other thicknesses are contemplated.
In
During use, the value of voltage E1 may be different from E2, due to water vapor absorption in the humidity sensing layer 140 of the sensing FET 120. Such water vapor may increase the dielectric constant of the humidity sensing layer 140 and also changes the work function difference of the FET, which change the threshold voltage of the sensing FET 120. This affects the drain current of the sensing FET 120 for a given source, drain and gate voltage. As described above with respect to
In some cases, sensing and reference n-channel FETs 120, 130 may be fabricated using conventional integrated circuit processes. In one example, a relatively thick (1.5 to 2 microns) thermal silicon oxide layer 160 may be formed on a p-type silicon substrate 110 followed by selective etching of the thermal silicon oxide layer 160 to form windows at the source, drain and gate regions of the sensing and reference n-channel FETs 120, 130. Phosphorus atoms may then be implanted/diffused into the substrate to create n-doped regions forming the sources and drains of the reference and sensing FETs 120, 130.
A lower gate dielectric layer 126 of silicon dioxide, or other appropriate gate insulator material, may be thermally grown over the substrate followed by masking and etching to define gate regions. Growth of a thin silicon dioxide gate insulator layer, or other appropriate gate insulator material, may form the lower gate dielectric layer and help assure a good surface state density at the silicon dioxide/silicon substrate interface. A barrier layer 128, 138, such as Ta2O5, Al2O3, HfO2, or Si3N4, may be disposed over the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136. The barrier layer 128, 138 and the lower gate insulating layer 126, 136 may be removed from the source and drain contact regions. A platinum layer may be sputter coated and pattered to form the source and drain contact electrodes 142, 144, 152, 154.
A humidity sensing layer 140, 150 may be applied above the barrier layer 128, 138. In some cases, one of the suitable hydrophobic polymers identified herein may be applied over the barrier layer 128, 138, for example, by spin coating and drying/heating. The polymer layer may be soft baked in air at 90-150° C. and then photoresist patterned to define the hydrophobic polymer layer of the gate stack before curing at up to 400 degrees C. in a dry nitrogen atmosphere.
A porous metal (e.g., gold, platinum) layer may be applied (e.g. sputtered) over the hydrophobic polymer layer of the gate stack of the sensing FET 120. A thick dense metal (gold, platinum) layer may be applied over the hydrophobic polymer layer of the gate of the reference FET 130. In some instances, a thin layer of chromium may be deposited prior to the application of the gate metal layer(s) to improve adhesion. Sputtering and patterning of an aluminum (or other conductive material) layer for contacting the source, drain, and gate electrodes may complete the fabrication of the sensing and reference FETs 120, 130.
One of the suitable hydrophobic polymers identified herein may then be applied as the protective porous hydrophobic dielectric polymer layer 162 by, for example, spin coating and drying/heating. The polymer layer may be soft baked in air at 90-150° C. A passivation layer 164 of barrier material may then be deposited over the protective porous hydrophobic dielectric polymer layer 162 and patterned such that the passivation layer 164 does not cover the sensing FET 120 gate stack. The protective porous hydrophobic dielectric polymer layer 162 and the passivation layer 164 may be selectively removed to provide a pathway to the gate electrodes 146, 156. A Ti/Au layer may be sputtered and patterned to define gate contacts 148, 158 for contacting the gate regions.
One or more of these steps may be modified if it is desirable to employ FETs implemented using different technologies, for example, n-MOS, p-MOS, CMOS, and so on. Similarly, one or more additional process steps may be employed if it is desirable to fabricate an instrumentation amplifier on the same substrate.
The disclosure should not be considered limited to the particular examples described above. Various modifications, equivalent processes, as well as numerous structures to which the disclosure can be applicable will be readily apparent to those of skill in the art upon review of the instant specification.
