Description

Translated fromJapanese

本発明は、音響センサに関するものである。  The present invention relates to an acoustic sensor.

従来から、エレクトレットコンデンサマイクロホンに比べて耐環境性に優れた音響センサチップを備えた音響センサとして、図6や図7に示すように、シリコン基板を用いて形成された静電容量型の音響センサチップ10’と、音響センサチップ10’と協働するICチップ20’と、音響センサチップ10’とICチップ20’とを収納するパッケージ30’とを備えた音響センサが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1)。  Conventionally, as an acoustic sensor provided with an acoustic sensor chip having superior environmental resistance compared to an electret condenser microphone, a capacitive acoustic sensor formed using a silicon substrate as shown in FIGS. An acoustic sensor including achip 10 ′, anIC chip 20 ′ that cooperates with theacoustic sensor chip 10 ′, and apackage 30 ′ that houses theacoustic sensor chip 10 ′ and theIC chip 20 ′ has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

上述の音響センサは、音響センサチップ10’とICチップ20’とが一表面側に実装されたプリント配線板からなる実装基板31’と、実装基板31’の上記一表面側に実装基板31’との間に音響センサチップ10’およびICチップ20’を収納する形で封着されたカバー32’とでパッケージ30’が構成されており、カバー32’において音響センサチップ10’に対向する部位に、音響センサチップ10’への音波導入用の音孔33’が貫設され、当該音孔33’が多孔質シート50’により閉塞されている。なお、多孔質シート50’は、多孔質層51’と当該多孔質層51’の厚み方向の一面側に設けられた接着層52’とで構成されており、接着層52’によりカバー32’に固着されている。  The above-described acoustic sensor includes amounting substrate 31 ′ made of a printed wiring board in which anacoustic sensor chip 10 ′ and anIC chip 20 ′ are mounted on one surface side, and amounting substrate 31 ′ on the one surface side of themounting substrate 31 ′. Apackage 30 ′ is formed by acover 32 ′ sealed in such a manner as to accommodate theacoustic sensor chip 10 ′ and theIC chip 20 ′ therebetween, and a portion of thecover 32 ′ facing theacoustic sensor chip 10 ′. Further, asound hole 33 ′ for introducing a sound wave into theacoustic sensor chip 10 ′ is penetrated, and thesound hole 33 ′ is closed by theporous sheet 50 ′. Theporous sheet 50 ′ is composed of aporous layer 51 ′ and anadhesive layer 52 ′ provided on one surface side in the thickness direction of theporous layer 51 ′, and thecover 32 ′ is covered by theadhesive layer 52 ′. It is fixed to.

また、上述の音響センサは、実装基板31’の上記一表面に、音響センサチップ10’の背面側にキャビティ34’を形成するための凹部31a’が形成されている。
特表2004−537182号公報
Further, in the above-described acoustic sensor, arecess 31a ′ for forming acavity 34 ′ is formed on the one surface of themounting substrate 31 ′ on the back side of theacoustic sensor chip 10 ′.
JP-T-2004-537182

しかしながら、図6や図7に示した構成の音響センサでは、耐環境性を高めて安定した音響特性が得られるように、製造時に、カバー32’の音孔33’を閉塞する多孔質シート50’をカバー32’に貼着する工程が必要となり、コストが高くなってしまう。また、上記特許文献1には、シールドケースとして機能させるカバーに多孔質シートをインサート成形したものも記載されているが、この場合には、音孔の位置や形状などの設計変更がある度に多孔質シートをインサート成形したカバーを製造する必要があり、コストアップの原因となってしまう。また、上述の音響センサでは、キャビティ34’の容積が大きいほど音響特性が向上するが、音響センサチップ10’のチップサイズおよび実装基板31’の厚みによりキャビティ34’の容積が制限されてしまう。  However, in the acoustic sensor having the configuration shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, theporous sheet 50 that closes thesound hole 33 ′ of thecover 32 ′ is manufactured at the time of manufacture so as to obtain a stable acoustic characteristic by improving the environmental resistance. A process of sticking “to thecover 32” is required, which increases costs. Moreover, although the said patent document 1 describes what carried out insert molding of the porous sheet to the cover made to function as a shield case, in this case, whenever there is a design change, such as a position and a shape of a sound hole, It is necessary to manufacture a cover in which a porous sheet is insert-molded, which causes an increase in cost. In the acoustic sensor described above, the acoustic characteristics improve as the volume of thecavity 34 ′ increases. However, the volume of thecavity 34 ′ is limited by the chip size of theacoustic sensor chip 10 ′ and the thickness of themounting substrate 31 ′.

本発明は上記事由に鑑みて為されたものであり、その目的は、低コストで安定した音響特性を得ることが可能な音響センサを提供することにある。  The present invention has been made in view of the above reasons, and an object of the present invention is to provide an acoustic sensor capable of obtaining stable acoustic characteristics at low cost.

請求項1の発明は、静電容量型の音響センサチップと、音波導入用の音孔が厚み方向に貫設され音孔を覆うように音響センサチップが一表面側に実装された実装基板と、実装基板の前記一表面側に実装基板との間に音響センサチップを収納するキャビティが形成される形で封着されたカバーとを備え、音響センサチップは、実装基板の前記一表面側において音孔を閉塞する多孔質シートをダイボンド材として実装基板に実装されてなることを特徴とする。  The invention according to claim 1 is a capacitive acoustic sensor chip, and a mounting substrate on which the acoustic sensor chip is mounted on one surface side so that the sound holes for introducing sound waves penetrate in the thickness direction and cover the sound holes. And a cover sealed in a form in which a cavity for housing the acoustic sensor chip is formed between the mounting substrate and the one surface side of the mounting substrate, and the acoustic sensor chip is disposed on the one surface side of the mounting substrate. A porous sheet that closes the sound holes is mounted on a mounting substrate as a die bond material.

この発明によれば、音波導入用の音孔が実装基板の厚み方向に貫設され、音響センサチップが、実装基板の一表面側において音孔を閉塞する多孔質シートをダイボンド材として実装基板に実装されているので、製造時に音響センサチップのダイボンディング工程において多孔質シートをダイボンド材として使用でき、しかも、当該多孔質シートにより耐環境性を高めることができるので、別途に多孔質シートをカバーに貼着する工程が不要となり、低コストで安定した音響特性を得ることが可能となる。また、音波導入用の音孔が実装基板の厚み方向に貫設され、カバーが実装基板との間に音響センサチップを収納するキャビティが形成される形で封着されていることにより、キャビティの容積が音響センサチップのチップサイズに制限されることがないから、実装基板とカバーとで構成されるパッケージの小型化を図りながらもキャビティの容積を大きくすることができ、音響特性の向上を図れるという利点もある。  According to this invention, sound holes for introducing sound waves are provided in the thickness direction of the mounting substrate, and the acoustic sensor chip is formed on the mounting substrate using the porous sheet that closes the sound holes on one surface side of the mounting substrate as a die bond material. Since it is mounted, the porous sheet can be used as a die-bonding material in the die bonding process of the acoustic sensor chip at the time of manufacturing, and the environment resistance can be enhanced by the porous sheet, so the porous sheet is separately covered. The process of sticking to is unnecessary, and stable acoustic characteristics can be obtained at low cost. In addition, sound holes for introducing sound waves are provided in the thickness direction of the mounting substrate, and the cover is sealed so as to form a cavity for housing the acoustic sensor chip between the mounting substrate and the cavity. Since the volume is not limited by the chip size of the acoustic sensor chip, the volume of the cavity can be increased while reducing the size of the package composed of the mounting substrate and the cover, and the acoustic characteristics can be improved. There is also an advantage.

Compared with the case where the hole is closed with a porous sheet different from the sound hole, the manufacturing becomes easier and the cost can be reduced.

(実施形態1)
以下、本実施形態の音響センサについて図1〜図3を参照しながら説明する。
(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, the acoustic sensor of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

本実施形態の音響センサは、バルクマイクロマシニング技術などを利用して形成された静電容量型の音響センサチップ(マイクロホンチップ)10と、音響センサチップ10と協働するICチップ20と、音響センサチップ10とICチップ20とを収納するパッケージ30とを備えている。なお、ICチップ20には、音響センサチップ10の出力信号からノイズを除去するノイズ除去回路や音響センサチップ10の出力信号を増幅する増幅回路などが集積化されている。  The acoustic sensor according to the present embodiment includes a capacitive acoustic sensor chip (microphone chip) 10 formed using a bulk micromachining technique, anIC chip 20 that cooperates with theacoustic sensor chip 10, and an acoustic sensor. Apackage 30 that houses thechip 10 and theIC chip 20 is provided. TheIC chip 20 is integrated with a noise removal circuit that removes noise from the output signal of theacoustic sensor chip 10, an amplification circuit that amplifies the output signal of theacoustic sensor chip 10, and the like.

音響センサチップ10は、図2に示すように、枠状(本実施形態では、矩形枠状)の支持部11の内側に連続一体に形成されたダイヤフラム状の振動板部(可動板部)12の背面側(図2(b)における上面側)に絶縁層(例えば、シリコン酸化膜)からなる複数のスペーサ部13を介して背板部(固定板部)14が設けられ、振動板部12と背板部14との間に空間16が形成されている。また、背板部14には複数の排気孔(アコースティックホール)15が厚み方向に貫設されており、振動板部12の振動時に排気孔15を空気が通過するようにしてある。したがって、振動板部12が音波の圧力を受けて振動する際に振動板部12と背板部14との間の空間16の媒質である空気により過度に制動を受けないようにすることができ、広い周波数帯域にわたる平坦な周波数特性と広いダイナミックレンジとを得ることが可能となる。なお、本実施形態における音響センサチップ10は、厚み方向の中間部に埋込酸化膜(シリコン酸化膜)からなる絶縁膜を有するSOIウェハとシリコンウェハとを互いの対向面の少なくとも一方に形成したシリコン酸化膜が介在する形で貼り合わせた後でシリコンウェハを所定厚さ(ここでは、背板部14の設計厚さ)まで研磨した多層構造ウェハを用いて形成されており、SOIウェハの主表面側のシリコン層の一部により形成される振動板部12に予め不純物をドーピングすることで振動板部12に導電性を付与してあって、振動板部12が可動電極を構成し、また、シリコンウェハの一部により形成される背板部14に予め不純物をドーピングすることで背板部14に導電性を付与してあって、背板部14が固定電極を構成している。また、支持部11および振動板部12は、SOIウェハの他表面に、例えば誘導結合プラズマ型のエッチング装置を用いたドライエッチングにより凹所17を設けることにより形成さている。なお、音響センサチップ10の構造は特に限定するものではなく、例えば、振動板部12に導電性を付与せずに導電性材料(例えば、アルミニウムなど)からなる可動電極を積層するとともに、背板部14に導電性を付与せずに導電性材料(例えば、アルミニウムなど)からなる固定電極を積層するようにしてもよい。  As shown in FIG. 2, theacoustic sensor chip 10 includes a diaphragm-like diaphragm portion (movable plate portion) 12 formed continuously and integrally inside a frame-like (rectangular frame shape in this embodiment)support portion 11. A back plate portion (fixed plate portion) 14 is provided on the back surface side (the upper surface side in FIG. 2B) via a plurality ofspacer portions 13 made of an insulating layer (for example, a silicon oxide film). Aspace 16 is formed between theback plate portion 14 and theback plate portion 14. A plurality of exhaust holes (acoustic holes) 15 are provided in theback plate portion 14 in the thickness direction so that air passes through theexhaust holes 15 when thevibration plate portion 12 vibrates. Therefore, when thediaphragm 12 is vibrated by the pressure of the sound wave, it can be prevented from being excessively braked by the air that is the medium of thespace 16 between thediaphragm 12 and theback plate 14. It is possible to obtain a flat frequency characteristic and a wide dynamic range over a wide frequency band. In theacoustic sensor chip 10 according to the present embodiment, an SOI wafer and a silicon wafer having an insulating film made of a buried oxide film (silicon oxide film) in the middle in the thickness direction are formed on at least one of the opposing surfaces. It is formed by using a multilayer structure wafer in which a silicon wafer is polished to a predetermined thickness (here, the design thickness of the back plate portion 14) after being bonded together with a silicon oxide film interposed therebetween. Conductivity is imparted to thediaphragm 12 by doping impurities in thediaphragm 12 formed by a part of the silicon layer on the surface side, and thediaphragm 12 constitutes a movable electrode. Theback plate portion 14 formed of a part of the silicon wafer is previously doped with impurities to impart conductivity to theback plate portion 14, and theback plate portion 14 constitutes a fixed electrode.Further, thesupport portion 11 and thediaphragm portion 12 are formed by providing arecess 17 on the other surface of the SOI wafer, for example, by dry etching using an inductively coupled plasma type etching apparatus. Note that the structure of theacoustic sensor chip 10 is not particularly limited. For example, a movable electrode made of a conductive material (for example, aluminum) is laminated without imparting conductivity to thediaphragm portion 12, and the back plate A fixed electrode made of a conductive material (for example, aluminum) may be laminated without imparting conductivity to theportion 14.

上述の音響センサチップ10では、ダイヤフラム状の振動板部12に背板部14が対向配置され振動板部12に設けられた可動電極と背板部14に設けられた固定電極とでコンデンサが形成されるから、振動板部12が音波の圧力を受けることにより振動板部12と背板部14との間の距離が変化し、コンデンサの静電容量が変化する。したがって、振動板部12および背板部14に設けた図示しないパッド(以下、第1のパッドと称す)間に直流バイアス電圧を印加しておけば、第1のパッドの間には音波の圧力に応じて微小な電圧変化が生じるから、音波を電気信号に変換することができる。  In theacoustic sensor chip 10 described above, a capacitor is formed by a movable electrode provided on thediaphragm plate 12 and a fixed electrode provided on theback plate portion 14 with aback plate portion 14 opposed to the diaphragm-like diaphragm portion 12. Therefore, when thediaphragm 12 receives the pressure of sound waves, the distance between thediaphragm 12 and theback plate 14 changes, and the capacitance of the capacitor changes. Therefore, if a DC bias voltage is applied between pads (not shown) (hereinafter referred to as first pads) provided on thediaphragm 12 and theback plate 14, the pressure of the sound wave is generated between the first pads. Since a minute voltage change occurs in response to this, sound waves can be converted into electrical signals.

また、上述のパッケージ30は、音響センサチップ10の受波面12aへの音波導入用の音孔33が厚み方向に貫設され音響センサチップ10およびICチップ20が一表面側に実装されたプリント配線板からなる実装基板31と、実装基板31の上記一表面側に実装基板31との間に音響センサチップ10およびICチップ20を収納するキャビティ34が形成される形で封着されたカバー32とで構成されている。なお、ICチップ20は、必ずしもパッケージ30内に収納しなくてもよく、ICチップ20の代わりに、音響センサチップ10と協働する電子回路の電子部品をパッケージ30に収納するようにしてもよい。また、音孔33の開口形状は円形状であるが、円形状に限らず、例えば矩形状でもよい。  Thepackage 30 has a printed wiring in which asound hole 33 for introducing a sound wave into thewave receiving surface 12a of theacoustic sensor chip 10 is provided in the thickness direction, and theacoustic sensor chip 10 and theIC chip 20 are mounted on one surface side. Amounting substrate 31 made of a plate, and acover 32 sealed in such a manner that acavity 34 for housing theacoustic sensor chip 10 and theIC chip 20 is formed between themounting substrate 31 and themounting substrate 31 on the one surface side. It consists of TheIC chip 20 does not necessarily have to be stored in thepackage 30. Instead of theIC chip 20, an electronic component of an electronic circuit that cooperates with theacoustic sensor chip 10 may be stored in thepackage 30. . Moreover, although the opening shape of thesound hole 33 is circular, it is not limited to a circular shape, and may be a rectangular shape, for example.

実装基板31の外周形状は矩形状であり、カバー32は、金属製であって、一面開口した矩形箱状の形状に形成されており、実装基板31の上記一表面側に、封止樹脂(例えば、エポキシ樹脂、シリコーン樹脂など)、導電性接着剤、半田などからなる封止部36により封着されている。なお、本実施形態では、パッケージ30が上述の実装基板31とカバー32とで構成され、金属製のカバー32がシールドケースを兼ねているので、耐ノイズ性を高めることができる。  The outer peripheral shape of themounting substrate 31 is rectangular, and thecover 32 is made of metal and is formed in a rectangular box shape that is open on one surface. For example, an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, or the like), a conductive adhesive, solder, or the like is used for sealing. In the present embodiment, thepackage 30 includes the mountingsubstrate 31 and thecover 32 described above, and themetal cover 32 also serves as a shield case. Therefore, noise resistance can be improved.

また、音響センサチップ10は、振動板部12の受波面12aが実装基板31の音孔33に臨む形で音孔33を覆うように実装基板31の上記一表面側に実装され、ICチップ20は、音響センサチップ10の側方において実装基板31の上記一表面側に実装されている。ここにおいて、音響センサチップ10は、振動板部12および背板部14に設けた第1のパッドが実装基板31の上記一表面側に形成されている第1の導体パターン(図示せず)と第1のボンディングワイヤ19を介して電気的に接続されている。一方、ICチップ20は、第2のパッドは実装基板の上記一表面側に形成されている第2の導体パターン(図示せず)と第2のボンディングワイヤを介して電気的に接続されている。なお、実装基板31は、上述の導体パターンと電気的に接続される貫通孔配線(図示せず)が適宜位置に設けられている。また、ICチップ20は、導電性接着剤やダイボンド材を用いて実装基板31の上記一表面側に接着すればよいが、実装基板31の上記一表面側にフリップチップ実装してもよい。  Theacoustic sensor chip 10 is mounted on the one surface side of the mountingsubstrate 31 so that thewave receiving surface 12a of thediaphragm 12 faces thesound hole 33 of the mountingsubstrate 31 so as to cover thesound hole 33, and theIC chip 20 Is mounted on the one surface side of the mountingsubstrate 31 on the side of theacoustic sensor chip 10. Here, theacoustic sensor chip 10 includes a first conductor pattern (not shown) in which a first pad provided on thevibration plate portion 12 and theback plate portion 14 is formed on the one surface side of the mountingsubstrate 31. They are electrically connected via thefirst bonding wire 19. On the other hand, in theIC chip 20, the second pad is electrically connected to the second conductor pattern (not shown) formed on the one surface side of the mounting substrate through the second bonding wire. . The mountingsubstrate 31 is provided with through-hole wirings (not shown) that are electrically connected to the above-described conductor patterns at appropriate positions. TheIC chip 20 may be bonded to the one surface side of the mountingsubstrate 31 using a conductive adhesive or a die bond material, but may be flip-chip mounted on the one surface side of the mountingsubstrate 31.

ところで、上述の音響センサチップ10は、実装基板31の上記一表面側において音孔33を閉塞する多孔質シート40をダイボンド材として実装基板31に実装されている。ここにおいて、多孔質シート40は、防水性、防塵性および通気性を有する多孔質層41と、当該多孔質層41の厚み方向の両面それぞれに設けられ音孔33に対応する領域が開口された接着層42,43とを有し、一面側の接着層42により実装基板31と固着され、他面側の接着層43により音響センサチップ10と固着されている。ここにおいて、多孔質シート40の多孔質層41は、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)の多孔質体からなり、接着層42,43は、エポキシ系樹脂により形成されている。なお、各接着層42,43は、上述のように音孔33に対応する領域が開口されているが、音孔33よりも開口面積を広く設定してある。  By the way, the above-mentionedacoustic sensor chip 10 is mounted on the mountingsubstrate 31 by using theporous sheet 40 that closes thesound hole 33 on the one surface side of the mountingsubstrate 31 as a die bonding material. Here, theporous sheet 40 is provided with a waterproof layer, a dustproof property, and a breathableporous layer 41 and an area corresponding to thesound hole 33 provided on both surfaces of theporous layer 41 in the thickness direction. It hasadhesive layers 42 and 43, and is fixed to the mountingsubstrate 31 by theadhesive layer 42 on one side, and is fixed to theacoustic sensor chip 10 by theadhesive layer 43 on the other side. Here, theporous layer 41 of theporous sheet 40 is made of a porous material of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and theadhesive layers 42 and 43 are formed of an epoxy resin. The adhesive layers 42 and 43 have openings corresponding to the sound holes 33 as described above, but have a larger opening area than the sound holes 33.

本実施形態の音響センサの製造にあたっては、実装基板31の上記一表面側に音響センサチップ10およびICチップ20を実装し、その後、カバー32を実装基板31に封着することで音響センサが完成する。  In manufacturing the acoustic sensor of the present embodiment, theacoustic sensor chip 10 and theIC chip 20 are mounted on the one surface side of the mountingsubstrate 31, and then thecover 32 is sealed to the mountingsubstrate 31 to complete the acoustic sensor. To do.
