A technique for optimizing the operation of an environmental sensor in a fixed state in which the sensor is fixed at an installation location and in an unfixed state in which the sensor is away from the installation location increases the use mode variations of the environmental sensor and enhances convenience. The sensor including sensor elements to measure multiple physical quantities associated with a surrounding environment, and includes a state determination unit that determines whether the environmental sensor is in a first state in which the sensor is fixed at a predetermined installation location or in a second state in which the sensor is away from the installation location (S102, S104), and an operation switch unit that switches an operation of each sensor element that measures the physical quantities based on whether a state determined by the determination unit is the first state or the second state (S105, S106).

A MEMS device includes a P-N device formed on a silicon pin, which is connected to a silicon sub-assembly, and where the P-N device is formed on a silicon substrate that is used to make the silicon pin before it is embedded into a first glass wafer. In one embodiment, forming the P-N device includes selectively diffusing an impurity into the silicon pin and configuring the P-N device to operate as a temperature sensor.
摘要:
A thermal isolation structure for use in passively regulating the temperature of a microdevice is disclosed. The thermal isolation structure can include a substrate wafer and a cap wafer defining an interior cavity, and a number of double-ended or single-ended thermal bimorphs coupled to the substrate wafer and thermally actustable between an initial position and a deformed position. The thermal bimorphs can be configured to deform and make contact with the cap wafer at different temperatures, creating various thermal shorts depending on the temperature of the substrate wafer. When attached to a microdevice such as a MEMS device, the thermal isolation structure can be configured to maintain the attached device at a constant temperature or within a particular temperature range.
