    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing insulation structures for micromechanical sensors according to a monocrystalline surface technique. According to known methods, silicon structures defined by deep trenches are etched and the lower side thereof facing the substrate is exposed by a release etch step. The filling of said trenches with a dielectrically insulating material, such as silicon dioxide, enables the silicon structure to be solidly clutched on three sides. The invention is based on the fact that instead of filling trenches, thin-walled silicon is converted into an electrically non-conductive material. This can be carried out, for example, by means of thermal oxidation of narrow silicon sections previously exposed by trenches. In a minimal configuration, two trenches (holes) must be etched per section with the desired structural depth. The interlying silicon section must be narrow enough to be able to be fully thermally oxidised.

    Abstract: A plane vibrator (5) of an angular velocity sensor (2) and a movable member (20) of an acceleration sensor (3) are provided in a spaced floating state on the same substrate (4). A lid (30) is formed so as to cover and be spaced from the upper side of the plane vibrator (5) and the movable member (20). A space defined by the substrate (4) and the lid (30) is sectioned into a angular velocity sensor space (33) and an acceleration sensor space (34) by use of a sectioning wall (36). The angular velocity sensor space (33) is hermetically sealed to be in the vacuum state. The acceleration sensor space (34) is hermetically sealed to be under atmospheric pressure. The plane vibrator (5) is vibrated at a high frequency and a large amplitude so that the angular velocity detection sensitivity is enhanced. The movable member (20), even if vibration of the plane vibrator (5) is transmitted thereto, is prevented from vibrating at a high frequency and a large amplitude, due to the damping effect of air. Thus, the acceleration detection sensitivity is enhanced.
