Cilium MEMS vector hydrophone can detect vector information such as the underwater particle vibration velocity.Integrating with complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS),can greatly improve its performance.A scheme for integration of cilium MEMS vector hydrophone with CMOS is proposed.In the MEMS post-treatment process,the cross beam sensitive structure of the hydrophone is front-side released by sidewall protecting and anisotropic wet etching.The whole post-treatment process does not need lithography,reducing the difficulty of processing while ensuring the precision of processing structure.A verification process is designed,and wet etching processes of four different structures are analyzed concretely.Finally,tape-out of processes of the four structures are achieved and the experimental results are analyzed.The experiment verifies the feasibility of the scheme,which lays a foundation for CMOS integration of cilium MEMS vector hydrophone.
