摘要:
The invention relates to a micromechanical sensor and to a corresponding production method, comprising the following steps: a) preparing a doped semiconductor wafer (4); b) applying an epitaxial layer (1) that is doped in such a way that a jump in the charge carrier density in the interface (11) between the semiconductor wafer and the epitaxial layer occurs; c) optionally etching ventilation holes (2) traversing the epitaxial layer and optionally filling the ventilation holes with a sacrificial material; d) depositing at least one sacrificial layer (9), at least one spacing layer (10), a membrane (5) and optionally a semiconductor circuit (8) on the top side of the epitaxial layer using a technology known per se, wherein the semiconductor circuit may be applied after the membrane is formed or while depositing the layers required to form the membrane; e) etching a hole (6) on the back part of the sensor, wherein the etching method is selected in such a way that etching advances in the direction of the top side and ceases in the interface between the wafer (4) and the epitaxial layer (1) by changing charge carrier concentration. The invention also relates to the utilization of the micromechanical sensor in pressure sensors or microphones.

A bulk acoustic wave device having two resonators in a stacked-up configuration separated by a dielectric layer. The device can be coupled to a lattice filter or a ladder filter to form a passband filter with an unbalanced input port and two balanced output ports. One or more such passband filters can be used, together with another lattice or ladder filter, to form a duplexer having an unbalanced antenna port, two balanced ports for one tranceiver part and two balanced ports for another tranceiver part.

At least one bottom electrode (U), a piezoelectric or pyroelectric layer (S) over said bottom electrode and a top electrode (O) over said layer are produced as parts of the layer sequence. The bottom electrode (U) is produced by depositing a conductive material and then chemically-mechanically polished in order to smooth out surface roughness. The thickness of the deposited conductive material is preferably reduced by 10 nm to 100 nm by the chemical-mechanical polishing process.

A duplexer comprising a transmit resonator device and a receive resonator device for filtering transmit and receive signals. The resonator device has a first BAW resonator for generating an acoustic wave signal from an input electric signal, a first acoustic delay for delaying the acoustic wave signal, and an intermediate BAW resonator for receiving the delayed acoustic wave signal at one end and converting the delayed acoustic wave signal to an electric signal. Through electrical coupling, the electric signal also appears at another end of the intermediate BAW resonator for generating a further acoustic wave signal at the other end. The resonator further comprises a second delay for delaying the further acoustic wave signal, and a second BAW resonator for producing an output electric signal from the delayed further acoustic wave signal. The duplexer can be used in a transceiver in a mobile phone.

摘要:
The acoustic mirror is essentially comprised of at least one first insulating layer (Il'), a first metal layer (M1') arranged thereon, a second insulating layer arranged thereon (I2') and a second metal layer (M2') arranged thereon. An auxiliary layer (H') is produced on the first insulating layer (I1') whereby a recess (V') extending as far as the first insulating layer (I1') is created therein. The first metal layer (M1') is substantially deposited and removed by chemical/mechanical polishing until the parts of the first metal layer (M1') arranged outside the recess (V') are no longer present. The second metal layer (M2') is also produced in a recess (V') with the aid of chemical/mechanical polishing. More than two insulating layers (I1', I2') and two metal layers (M1', M2') can be provided. The first metal layer (M1') and the second metal layer (M2') can be produced in the same recess (V').

The invention relates to a micromechanical component placed on the face of a substrate. A counter-electrode of a cell capacitor is placed under a cavity (H), whereby said counter-electrode can be composed of a first part of a lower conductive layer. An optionally circular membrane used as an electrode of the capacitor is placed above said cavity (H). Said membrane is homogeneous and has a substantially uniform thickness. It can be part of an upper conductive layer which is preferably supported by a second part of the lower conductive layer. A caustic channel (A), which is used to remove the sacrificial coating in order to form the cavity (H), is laterally connected to said cavity (H). Said caustic channel (A) has a vertical dimension which is equal to the vertical dimension of the cavity (H). A closure (V) is adjacent to said caustic channel (A) and placed outside said membrane. The inventive component can be used as a pressure sensor. It exhibits several cells which are each adjacent to six other cells.
