    摘要: A semiconductor strain sensor includes a base, a peripheral section, a central section and a flexible beam. The peripheral section is bent to the base. Bonding strain is generated at a bonding portion between the base and the peripheral section. The central section extends from the peripheral section. The flexible beam extends from the central section and includes a strain detecting element. The strain detecting element changes its electric characteristic when strain is applied thereto. A thickness of the flexible beam is thinner than that of the central section. The bonding strain is transmitted from the bonding portion to the strain detecting element through a transmission path. The transmission path is bent. The bonding strain is attenuated because it is dispersed at a bending portion of the transmission path. The sensor accurately detects the strain to be detected without a bad influence of the bonding strain.

    摘要: It is intended to provide an etching method for semiconductor devices in which the etching depth or the thickness of a thin thickness portion can be precisely controlled. According to experiment results, when a P-type substrate in which an N-type epitaxial layer is formed is immersed in an etching solution such as KOH or the like, and a voltage for reverse bias of PN junction is applied between an electrode plate opposing the substrate and the epitaxial layer to perform electrochemical etching, it has been found that the distance from the PN junction plane to the etching stop position is approximately equal to a depletion layer width at the substrate side of the PN junction portion. Namely, the etching stops at the forward end of the depletion layer. Therefore, the junction depletion layer width at the substrate side is controlled to be a size obtained by subtracting a necessary depth for etching from a thickness of the semiconductor substrate except for the semiconductor layer, so that the etching depth or the thickness of the thin thickness portion remaining after etching can be precisely controlled.

    摘要: In the present invention, a first protective layer formed over a diaphragm is prevented from being etched unnecessarily at the time of etching a second protective layer, and the detection accuracy of the diaphragm is improved.In a process for producing a semiconductor pressure sensor, a first protective layer 4, a metal layer 8 and a second protective layer 6 are successively formed by deposition over a diaphragm 1a, and the second protective layer 6 is removed by etching so that the second protective layer 6 is left on a predetermined portion of an electrode 5. Since the metal layer 8 acts as an etching stopper layer at the time of removing the second protective layer 6 by etching, the first protective layer 4 over the diaphragm 1a is prevented from being etched. The metal layer 8 is removed by etching thereafter so that only the first protective layer 4 is formed over the diaphragm 1a.

    摘要: Plural semiconductor chips such as acceleration sensor chips formed on the first surface of a substrate are separated into individual pieces by dicing the substrate from the second surface thereof. A groove surrounding each sensor chip, along which the sensor chip is diced out, is formed at the same time the sensor chip is formed on the first surface. Before dicing, a protecting sheet covering the first surface is pasted along the sidewalls and the bottom wall of the groove. The groove is made sufficiently wide to ensure that the protecting sheet is bent along the walls of the groove without leaving a space between the groove and the protecting sheet. Thus, dicing dusts generated in the dicing process are prevented from being scattered and entering the sensor chip.

    摘要: A semiconductor strain sensor has a gauge forming region on a p-type substrate surrounded by a p-type isolation region that reaches the p-type substrate. The p-type substrate is etched so that the entire bottom surface of the gauge forming region is covered by the p-type substrate, and the p-type substrate or p-type isolation region is not exposed to the etched recess portion or isolation groove, each of which have a relatively high number of defects. Thus, leakage current at the PN junction can be decreased to decrease a variation in the potential of the gauge forming region.
