Description
Manufacturing method for improving adhesion of MEMS gyroscope metal electrode Technical Field The application relates to the technical field of micro-mechanical gyroscopes, in particular to a manufacturing method for improving the adhesion of a metal electrode of a MEMS gyroscope. Background Microelectromechanical systems (Micro-Electro-MECHANICAL SYSTEM, MEMS) gyroscopes are commonly used to measure the rotational speed of an object such as an automobile, a drone, a satellite, etc., and typically form an active control system together with an accelerometer. For example, when turning, the system can automatically correct the magnitude of the lateral driving force by measuring the angular velocity through the gyroscope, thereby realizing the accuracy of planned route execution. MEMS gyroscopes typically have two-directional movable capacitive plates. The radial capacitive plates apply an oscillating voltage forcing themselves to perform radial movements, and the transverse capacitive plates measure the capacitance changes due to the transverse coriolis movements. Since the coriolis force is proportional to the angular velocity, the angular velocity can be calculated from the change in capacitance. Because the MEMS gyroscope has higher requirements on thermal stress, the metal electrode is manufactured by adopting a normal-temperature evaporation process in the aspect of process flow, and the phenomenon that the adhesion of the electrode is generally lower than that of the traditional sputtering process scheme occurs. In the multi-theory flow sheet process, the phenomenon of multiple electrode falling occurs when the device is packaged and wire-bonded.
