Abstract: The application of MEMS pressure sensors has become increasingly prevalent across various industries. This paper focuses on the research of etching stress-sensitive thin films in pressure sensors. Experiments were conducted to investigate the etching of silicon grooves using tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution at different temperatures. Characterization of the silicon groove etching was performed using a step profiler and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of temperature on the etching rate, surface morphology, and uniformity of the silicon grooves were analyzed. It was concluded that an etching temperature of 80 ℃ yielded the optimal uniformity of 0.039%, with a qualification rate of 92.67%, resulting in a highly flat deep silicon groove structure.
