Description
- This application claims the priority of European patent application 08014276.3, filed Aug. 11, 2008, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The invention relates to a temperature sensor and a method for manufacturing the same. In particular it relates to a temperature sensor comprising a semiconductor chip, a bandgap circuit integrated on a first surface of said chip, and a housing for embedding the chip.
- It has been known to provide temperature sensors based on semiconductor chips with bandgap circuits integrated thereon. Such temperature sensors are typically covered by a housing. It has been found that such sensors can be subject to drift and inaccuracies.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a temperature sensor and a method for its manufacture that provides improved accuracy.
- This object is achieved by a temperature sensor comprising
- a semiconductor chip,
- a bandgap circuit integrated on a first surface of said semiconductor chip, and
- a housing, with said semiconductor chip being covered by said housing,
- wherein said temperature sensor further comprises a polymer buffer layer applied to said semiconductor chip and covering said bandgap circuit.
- In a further aspect of the invention, the a method for manufacturing a temperature sensor comprising a semiconductor chip with a band gap circuit integrated thereon is provided, said method comprising the steps of
- applying, onto a first surface of said chip, a photoresist buffer layer,
- lithographically structuring said buffer layer in order to remove part of said buffer layer but leaving said buffer layer covering said bandgap circuit,
- casting a housing over said chip, with said housing covering said buffer layer.
- Accordingly, a buffer layer of a polymer is applied to the semiconductor chip and covers the bandgap circuit. Hence, the buffer layer is arranged between the bandgap circuit and the material of the housing. This arrangement prevents mechanical strain from being transferred between housing and bandgap circuit. Since the voltage of the bandgap circuit depends not only on temperature, but also on mechanical stress, the buffer layer improves the accuracy of the device.
- Advantageously, the buffer layer is made of a photoresist. This is a material that can be structured using photolithography, or the product of such a material after structuring by means of photolithography. For example, the buffer layer can comprise an epoxy-based photoresist, in particular SU-8.
- The temperature sensor can further comprise an integrated sensitive structure, such as a polymer film for measuring humidity, in which case the housing can be provided with an access opening extending to the integrated sensitive structure. Thus, the temperature sensor can further measure humidity or some other parameter of the environment.
- Alternatively, the housing can cover the whole of the first surface of the chip, i.e. of the surface on which the bandgap circuit has been integrated.
- Other advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims as well as in the following description, wherein the description refers to the attached figures. These show:
-
FIG. 1 a first step in a manufacturing process of a first embodiment of the sensor, prior to applying the buffer layer, -
FIG. 2 a second step, after applying the buffer layer, -
FIG. 3 a third step, after structuring the buffer layer, -
FIG. 4 a fourth step, after cutting the wafer and applying the chip to the lead frame, -
FIG. 5 a fifth step prior to casting, -
FIG. 6 a sixth step, after removing the mold, -
FIG. 7 a reference voltage generator and temperature sensor, and -
FIG. 8 is a second embodiment of a sensor. - In the following, a first embodiment of the manufacturing process and sensor according to the invention is described by reference to
FIGS. 1 to 6 . This embodiment relates to a sensor that is a temperature sensor as well as a humidity sensor. - In a first step, a plurality of sensor chips is manufactured simultaneously on a
wafer 1.FIG. 1 shows asingle chip 5 in detail. Each chip may e.g. be a humidity sensor as it is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,690,569 with a bandgap temperature sensor 3 integrated on afirst surface 5 a thereof. Or it may be any other type of sensor having asensitive structure 2 and aband gap circuit 3 integrated on itsfirst surface 5 a.Sensitive structure 2 may e.g. be the polymer film of a humidity sensor with underlying electrodes as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,690,569. In addition to a bandgap temperature sensor 3, further circuitry may be integrated onchip 5, such as analog amplifiers, analog-digital converts and digital processing electronics. - Furthermore,
bond pads 4 are provided onfirst surface 5 a for connecting the band gap circuit and any other circuitry to bond wires. - In a next step, a
buffer layer 6 is applied overwafer 1.Buffer layer 6 is advantageously a photoresist, such as SU-8 by MicroChem Corp., USA. Using a photoresist layer asbuffer layer 6 has the advantage that it can be structured easily using standardized processing steps. - If
buffer layer 6 is a photoresist, it can be structured directly by means of photolithography in order to remove it at least partially at the location ofsensitive structure 2 as well as at the location of thebond pads 4, as shown inFIG. 3 , while leaving it to cover at leastband gap circuit 3. - Thus,
buffer layer 6 is removed to uncover thecontact pads 4 and at least part ofsensitive structure 2. In other words,buffer layer 6 does not cover thecontact pads 4 such that thecontact pads 4 can later be contacted by the bond wires. Neither doesbuffer layer 6 extend over all ofsensitive structure 2, but surrounds it, such that said structure can later be exposed to the environment. All steps up to this point can be carried out prior to cuttingwafer 1. - Now,
wafer 1 is cut into thechips 5, and a plurality of thechips 5 are placed on alead frame 7 in known manner, as shown inFIG. 4 . Thechips 5 may e.g. be glued to thelead frame 7.Bond wires 13 are mounted between thecontact pads 4 and the leads 7 a oflead frame 7. - In a next step,
lead frame 7 is placed in a mold comprising alid 8 and abase 9. The mold defines aninterior space 10 to be filled by a hardening material.Lid 8 has asection 11 that extends intointerior space 10.Section 11 is located and dimensioned such that, when the mold is closed, it abuts againstbuffer layer 6 along a circumference ofsensitive structure 2, thereby forming a sealed cavity 12 oversensitive structure 2. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , a foil assisted molding process can be used. In such a process, afilm 14 is placed over at least one of the parts ofmold interior space 10.Film 14 may e.g. be a ETFE film having a thickness between 50 and 100 μm. A suitable example of such a film is Nowoflon ET6235J by Nowofol, Siegsdorf (Germany) or Fluon by Asahi Glass Co., Japan. Such a foil compensates mechanical tolerances, reduces the wear of the mold and simplifies the removal of the mold after the casting process. Similarly,base 9 can be covered by a polyester foil. A suitable polyester foil is e.g. RM4100 by Hitachi Chemicals, Japan. - In a next step, a hardening material is introduced into the mold to fill
interior space 10. - After hardening the material at least partially in order to form a package or
housing 16 that covers and/or surroundschip 5,mold FIG. 6 . As can be seen,section 11 has formed an access opening 15 that connectssensitive structure 2 with the surroundings of the device. - According to the present invention,
buffer layer 6 is formed such that it coversbandgap circuit 3 in order to protect it from mechanical stress, such as strain. - For providing a good mechanical protection during molding and thereafter, and in order to avoid a damage of
sensitive structure 2 during the molding process,buffer layer 6 advantageously has the following properties: -
- Its height should be sufficient such that
film 14 is prevented from touchingsensitive structure 2 during the molding process. Advantageously, the height ofbuffer layer 6 is at least 10 μm. - It should be sufficiently elastic in order to form a good seal during the molding process and in order to be able to accommodate for mutual movements between
housing 16 and thecircuitry semiconductor chip 5. In particular, and even for embodiments that do not comprise asensitive structure 2, such as the second embodiment described below, it should be more elastic than normal cover layers applied over semiconductor chips, in particular SiN and SiO2. In particular,buffer layer 6 should have a Young's module of less than 10 GPa, which is clearly smaller than the Young's modules of SiN (>150 GPa) and SiO2 (>70 GPa).
- Its height should be sufficient such that
- While, as described above,
buffer layer 6 is advantageously a photoresist, it can also be any other polymer, such as a resin system, e.g. epoxy, in particular a photostructurable resin system such that it can be structured easily. Resin systems have been found to be compatible with the materials that are usually used for injection-molded semiconductor device packaging. - Alternatively,
buffer layer 6 may e.g. also be or comprise a rubber, e.g. silicone rubber, or polyimide. If it is not a photoresist, a separate photoresist layer can e.g. be placed on top of it, which then can be structured to form a mask for subsequently etching the buffer layer at the desired locations. - Alternatively,
buffer layer 6 may also be applied using printing techniques, such as stencil printing or screen printing, in particular ifbuffer layer 6 is a silicone rubber. - As mentioned,
buffer layer 6 not only serves to provide a seal withsection 11 in the molding process, but it also protects thebandgap circuit 3 from strain. Hence, it is structured such that it covers substantially all ofbandgap circuit 3. - This is based on the understanding that mechanical stress strongly affects the properties of semiconductor electronic components, while, at the same time,
buffer layer 6 can be used not only as a contact surface forsection 11 of the mold, but also as a stress relief layer. -
FIG. 7 shows an embodiment ofbandgap circuit 3. A constant reference voltage can be obtained at output V1, while the voltage difference between outputs V1 and V2 is a measure of the temperature. - The present invention can also be carried out on temperature sensors without a
sensitive structure 2, i.e. on sensors that measure temperature alone. The second embodiment shown inFIG. 8 is such a temperature sensor. It differs from the one ofFIG. 6 in that all of thefirst surface 5 a ofchip 5 is covered byhousing 16 and there is no access opening provided therein. - In this embodiment,
buffer layer 6 covers substantially all offirst surface 5 a with the exception of thecontact pads 4. At least, it should cover substantially all ofbandgap circuit 3. - The method for manufacturing the second embodiment of
FIG. 8 is substantially the same as for manufacturing the first embodiment ofFIG. 6 , with the exception thatlid 8 has nosection 11 extending intointerior space 10. - Hence, in summary, a temperature sensor with a
bandgap circuit 3 is provided.Bandgap circuit 3 is covered by abuffer layer 6 of e.g. photoresist.Buffer layer 6 is structured andsemiconductor chip 5 is packaged in or at least covered by ahousing 16. By providing thebuffer layer 6, mechanical stress, as it is e.g. caused by different thermal expansion coefficients of the packaging and the chip, can be reduced. - The temperature sensor can be an all-solid, monolithic device. In particular, it advantageously does not comprise a MEMS (a micro electromechanical system), including an IMEMS (an integrated MEMS), as e.g. described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,379,988.
- While there are shown and described presently preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto but may be otherwise variously embodied and practised within the scope of the following claims.
