Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a substrate; a transduction microstructure integrated in the substrate; a cap joined to the substrate and having a first face adjacent to the substrate and a second, outer, face; and a channel extending through the cap from the second face to the first face and communicating with the transduction microstructure. A protective membrane made of porous polycrystalline silicon permeable to aeriform substances is set across the channel.

Abstract: A pressure-sensor includes a substrate with a cavity therein and a membrane suspended over the cavity. The cavity is connected to external air pressure so a change in external air pressure causes out-of-plane movement of the membrane. A frame suspended over the membrane includes a segment connected to the membrane but disconnected from other frame portions. A projection extends from the frame. A first spring is connected to the projection, a second spring is connected to the segment, and an end portion connects the springs so out-of-plane movement of the membrane applies out-of-plane force to the second spring, which is transferred to the first spring by the end portion and translated to an in-plane force by the first spring and applied to the projection. This causes lateral sliding movement of the frame with respect to the substrate. A capacitive-sensor detects sliding movement of the frame with respect to the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of forming a thermal sensor, including patterning an active layer on a first face of a handle substrate to form a frame, a mass carrying at least one thermally isolated MOS (TMOS) transistor, and a spring structure connecting the mass to the frame while thermally isolating the mass from the frame. The frame is then bonded to pads on a first face of an integrated circuit substrate. The handle substrate is removed, and a top cap is bonded to the first face of the integrated circuit substrate to enclose at least the mass and spring within the sealed cavity.

Abstract: Integrated thermal sensor having a housing delimiting an internal space. A support region extends through the internal space; a plurality of thermocouple elements are carried by the support region and are electrically coupled to each other. Each thermocouple element is formed by a first and a second thermoelectrically active region of a first and, respectively, a second thermoelectrically active material, the first thermoelectrically active material having a first Seeback coefficient, the second thermoelectrically active material having a second Seeback coefficient, other than the first Seeback coefficient. At least one of the first and second thermoelectrically active regions is a silicon-based material. The first and second thermoelectrically active regions of each thermocouple element are formed by respective elongated regions extending at a mutual distance into the internal space of the housing, from and transversely to the support region.

Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical pressure sensor device, formed by a cap region and by a sensor region of semiconductor material. An air gap extends between the sensor region and the cap region; a buried cavity extends underneath the air gap, in the sensor region, and delimits a membrane at the bottom. A through trench extends within the sensor region and laterally delimits a sensitive portion housing the membrane, a supporting portion, and a spring portion, the spring portion connecting the sensitive portion to the supporting portion. A channel extends within the spring portion and connects the buried cavity to a face of the second region. The first air gap is fluidically connected to the outside of the device, and the buried cavity is isolated from the outside via a sealing region arranged between the sensor region and the cap region.
