It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.



FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a MEMS pump according an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. Notably, the first substrate 1, the first oxide layer 3, the second substrate 2, the second oxide layer 5, the third substrate 4 and the piezoelectric element 6 are fabricated into a modular structure, and the modular structure has a length L, a width W and a height H. In an embodiment, the modular structure has a volume formed with the length L ranging from 1 mm to 999 mm, the width W ranging from 1 mm to 999 mm and the height H ranging from 1 mm to 999 mm, but not limited thereto.

Alternatively, in another embodiment, the modular structure has a volume formed with the length L ranging from 1 nm to 999 nm, the width W ranging from 1 nm to 999 nm and the height H ranging from 1 nm to 999 nm. In order to simplify the description, the manufacturing process below is not limited to nano-manufacturing process, micro-manufacturing process, and millimeter-manufacturing process. The manufacturing process of the present disclosure is adjustable and can be replaced by nano-manufacturing process, micro-manufacturing process, or millimeter-manufacturing process according to the practical requirement. Specifically, the description of the present invention is illustrated by micro-manufacturing process.


The first substrate 1, the second substrate 2 and the third substrate 4 described above may be made of the same material, but not limited thereto. In this embodiment, all of the three substrates above are silicon chips formed by a crystal growth process of the semiconductor process. The crystal growth process may be a polysilicon growth technique, such that the first substrate 1, the second substrate 2 and the third substrate 4 may be polysilicon chips. In addition, the first substrate 1 has a first thickness, the second substrate 2 has a second thickness, and the third substrate 4 has a third thickness, wherein the first thickness, the second thickness and the third thickness may be formed by a thinning process. In this embodiment, the first thickness of the first substrate 1 is larger than the third thickness of the third substrate 4, and the third thickness of the third substrate 4 is larger than the second thickness of the second substrate 2. The substrate thinning process may be achieved by grinding, etching, cutting or any other process to obtain the desired thickness of the substrate. Consequently, the first thickness ranging from 150 μm to 200 μm is obtained by the thinning process in the micro-manufacturing process, the second thickness ranging from 2 μm to 5 μm is obtained by the thinning process in the micro-manufacturing process, and the third thickness ranging from 10 μm to 20 μm is obtained by the thinning process in the micro-manufacturing process.


The first oxide layer 3 and the second oxide layer 5 may be both made of the same material, but not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the first oxide layer 3 and the second oxide layer 5 are silicon dioxide (SiO2) films, which can be formed by a sputtering process or high temperature oxidation of the semiconductor procedure, so as to form the films with desired thickness. In this embodiment, the thickness of the first oxide layer 3 is greater than the thickness of the second oxide layer 5. Consequently, the first oxide layer 3 manufactured by the micro-manufacturing process has a thickness ranging from 10 μm to 20 μm, and the second oxide layer 5 manufactured by the micro-manufacturing process has a thickness ranging from 0.5 μm to 2 μm.


The first substrate 1 formed by the crystal growth process of the semiconductor process has a first top surface 12, a first bottom surface 13 and at least one inlet aperture 11, and the at least one inlet aperture 11 is formed by a lithography and etching process. Each inlet aperture 11 penetrates the first substrate 1 from the first bottom surface 13 to the first top surface 12. In this embodiment, there are two inlet holes in the first substrate 1, but not limited thereto. Moreover, the inlet aperture 11 is cone-shaped and tapered from the first bottom surface 13 to the first top surface 12 to enhance the inhale efficiency.


The first oxide layer 3 described above is formed by the sputtering process or high temperature oxidation of the semiconductor procedure and is stacked upon the first top surface 12 of the first substrate 1. In addition, at least one fluid inlet channel 31 and a convergence chamber 32 are formed on the first oxide layer 3 by the lithography and etching process. The number and the position of the at least one fluid inlet channel 31 is corresponding to the inlet aperture 11. In this embodiment, the number of the fluid inlet channel 31 is illustrated by two, but not limited thereto. One end of each fluid inlet channel 31 is in communication with the corresponding inlet aperture 11, and the other end of the fluid inlet channel 31 is in communication with the convergence chamber 32. Consequently, the gas inhaled from the two inlet apertures 11 can be converged into the convergence chamber 32 through the corresponding fluid inlet channels 31, respectively.


The second substrate 2 formed by the crystal growth process of the semiconductor process has a second top surface 22, a second bottom surface 23, a resonance part 24 and a fixed part 25, and a through hole 21 is formed by the lithography and etching process. The through hole 21 located in the center of the second substrate 2 penetrates from the second top surface 22 to the second bottom surface 23. The resonance part 24 locates at the periphery region of the through hole 21, and the fixed part 25 locates at the periphery region of the resonance part 24. Moreover, the second bottom surface 23 of the second substrate 2 is disposed upon the first oxide layer 3. The through hole 21 of the second substrate 2 is perpendicularly aligned and in communication with the convergence chamber 32 of the first oxide layer 3, and the through hole 21 is misaligned with the inlet apertures 11 of the first substrate 1.


The second oxide layer 5 is formed upon the second top surface 22 of the second substrate 2 by the sputtering process or high temperature oxidation of the semiconductor process, and a central portion of the second oxide layer 5 is recessed to form a gas chamber 51 by the lithography and etching process. The gas chamber 51 is corresponding in position to the through hole 21 of the second substrate 2 and the resonance part 24 in the periphery region of the through hole 21. Consequently, the gas can flow into the gas chamber 51 by passing through the through hole 21, and the resonance part 24 can displace upward and downward in the gas chamber 51.


The third substrate 4 described above has a third top surface 42 and a third bottom surface 43 formed by the crystal growth process of a semiconductor process. Moreover, a plurality of gas flow channels 41 penetrated from the third top surface 42 to the third bottom surface 43 are formed by the lithography and etching process, so as to define a vibration part 44, a periphery part 45 and a plurality of connection parts 46 of the third substrate 4, as shown in FIG. 3. The vibration part 44 is surrounded by the gas flow channels 41. The periphery part 45 surrounds the periphery region of the gas flow channels 41. The plurality of the connection parts 46 are disposed between the gas flow channels 41, and connect to the vibration part 44 and the periphery part 45. In this embodiment, the number of the gas flow channels 41 and the number of the connection parts 46 are illustrated by four, respectively, but not limited thereto.


Please refer to FIG. 1 again. The piezoelectric element 6 includes a lower electrode layer 61, a piezoelectric layer 62, an insulation layer 63 and an upper electrode layer 64. The piezoelectric element 6 may be formed by physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process or sol-gel process, but not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the lower electrode layer 61 and the upper electrode layer 64 are formed by film deposition such as PVD or CVD. The lower electrode layer 61 is disposed and stacked on the third top surface 42 of the third substrate 4, and is located on the vibration part 44 of the third substrate 4. The piezoelectric layer 62 may be formed by film deposition process or sol-gel process, and the piezoelectric layer 62 is stacked on the lower electrode layer 61, thereby the piezoelectric layer 62 and the lower electrode layer 61 can electrically connect to each other by the contact area thereof. Moreover, the area of the piezoelectric layer 62 is smaller than the area of the lower electrode layer 61, so that the lower electrode layer 61 cannot be completely covered by the piezoelectric layer 62. The insulation layer 63 is formed and covered on a part of the piezoelectric layer 62 and the uncovered area of the lower electrode layer 61, so as to cover on a partial surface of the piezoelectric layer 62 and a partial surface of the lower electrode 61. At last, the upper electrode layer 64 is formed on a part of the insulation layer 63 and the uncovered area of the piezoelectric layer 62, so as to stack on the insulation layer 63 and a remaining surface of the piezoelectric layer 62 without the insulation layer 63 disposed thereon. As a result, the upper electrode layer 64 is electrically connected with the piezoelectric layer 62 by the contact area thereof. At the same time, the insulation layer 63 is utilized to hinder the upper electrode layer 64 from directly contacting the lower electrode layer 61, thereby preventing the occurrence of electrical short circuits.


Please refer to FIG. 1. The first oxide layer 3 is disposed between the first top surface 12 of the first substrate 1 and the second bottom surface 23 of the second substrate 2. The second oxide layer 5 is disposed between the second top surface 22 of the second substrate 2 and the third bottom surface 43 of the third substrate 4. Moreover, the piezoelectric element 6 is disposed on the third top surface 42 of the third substrate 4 and is corresponding in position to the gas chamber 51 of the second oxide layer 5. The first oxide layer 3 is disposed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2, the fluid inlet channels 31 therein are in communication with the inlet apertures 11 of the first substrate 1, and the convergence chamber 32 is in communication with the through hole 21 of the second substrate 2. Therefore, the gas is inhaled from the inlet apertures 11 of the first substrate 1, converged to the convergence chamber 32 through the fluid inlet channels 31, and then flows upwardly through the through hole 21. Furthermore, the second oxide layer 5 is disposed between the second substrate 2 and the third substrate 4, and the gas chamber 51 is in communication with the through hole 21 of the second substrate 2 and the gas flow channels 41 of the third substrate 4. Consequently, the gas inhaled into the gas chamber 51 through the through hole 21 flows out upwardly from the gas flow channels 41, so as to complete the gas transportation.


In order to clarify the operation steps of the MEMS pump 100 manufacturing by micro-manufacturing process of the semiconductor process, please refer to FIGS. 2A to 2C. Please refer to FIG. 2A first, when the lower electrode layer 61 and the upper electrode layer 64 of the piezoelectric element 6 receive the voltages and driving signals from the exterior and then transmit to the piezoelectric layer 62, the piezoelectric layer 62 is driven to deformation due to a piezoelectric effect. The variation and frequency of the deformation of the piezoelectric layer 62 are controlled by the voltages and driving signals. As the result of the deformation of the piezoelectric layer 62 described above, the vibration part 44 of the third substrate 4 is driven to displace upwardly away from the second oxide layer 5. As the distance from the vibration part 44 to the second oxide layer 5 is increased by the driving of the piezoelectric element 6, and the volume of the gas chamber 51 of the second oxide layer 5 is expanded, a negative pressure is generated inside the gas chamber 51, thereby the gas from an environment outside the MEMS pump 100 is inhaled into the inlet apertures 11, and then converged to the convergence chamber 32 of the first oxide layer 3. Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, as the vibration part 44 is drawn by the piezoelectric element 6 and vibrates upwardly, the resonance part 24 of the second substrate 2 resonates to vibrate upwardly, so as to compress the volume of the gas chamber 51 and push the gas in the gas chamber 51 toward the gas flow channels 41 of the third substrate 4, then the gas is exhausted upwardly through the gas flow channels 41. Meanwhile, as the resonance part 24 vibrates upwardly and compresses the gas chamber 51, the volume of the convergence chamber 32 is expanded accordingly, thereby generating a negative pressure in the convergence chamber 32, so as to allow the gas from the exterior of the MEMS pump 100 to be inhaled continuously through the inlet apertures 11. Finally, as shown in FIG. 2C, when the vibration part 44 of the third substrate 4 is driven to displace downwardly by the piezoelectric element 6, the resonance part 24 of the second substrate 2 is also driven to displace downwardly at the same time. Hence, the gas in the convergence chamber 32 is compressed and pushed to move toward the gas chamber 51 through the through hole 21, and the gas from the exterior of the MEMS pump 100 temporarily stops inhaling from the inlet apertures 11. At the same time, the gas in the gas chamber 51 is pushed toward the gas flow channels 41 of the third substrate 4, and exhausted outwardly. After that, the vibration part 44 is driven to displace upwardly by the piezoelectric element 6, and the volume of the gas chamber 51 is increased, so as to generate a higher suction force and suck the gas into the gas chamber 51 (as shown in FIG. 2A). By repeating the operation steps illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2C continuously, the vibration part 44 is driven to displace upwardly and downwardly by the piezoelectric element 6, and thereby actuated the resonance part 24 to be displaced synchronously in resonance. As a result, the inner pressure of the MEMS pump 100 is continuously changed to inhale and exhaust gas continuous, so as to complete the gas transmission of the MEMS pump 100.


In summary, the present disclosure provides an MEMS pump. The structure of the MEMS pump is manufactured by a semiconductor process to decrease the volume of the MEMS pump, so as to achieve the object of reducing the volume of the MEMS pump, and makes the MEMS pump more compact and miniature, so as to solve the problem of excessive pump volume in the prior art
